Weather and pitch report

Tomorrow evening’s clash is expected to have no rain in the forecast. However, there will be plenty of humidity inspite of it being an evening match. Also, with humidity comes the dew factor. So, the bowlers will have their work cut out, especially in the second innings.

The Wankhede pitch is said to be quite flat albeit with a hint of turn. Add to that equation, excessive dew and the situation will be interesting.

Prediction for match result

Both teams head into the game on the back of two back-to-back wins. This match is also set to take place in the Indians’ backyard, so this MI vs SRH match may swing in either direction.

Conclusion

This is the second time that there will be a MI vs SRH meeting in IPL 2019. The Hyderabad home leg of the MI vs SRH tie resulted in the visitors triumphing. So, can the Sunrisers Hyderabad exact revenge or will Mumbai qualify for the playoffs?
