Mumbai, who have 12 points, are still in the hunt for the playoffs but would need an incredibly massive, almost unbelievable win to proceed: MI need to win by 171 runs or more and score more than 200 to go past KKR’s net run rate of +0.587. KKR gained a big boost to their NRR with an 86-run victory over RR yesterday.
Sunrisers Hyderabad, on the other hand, have 6 points are already eliminated. They would, however, want to finish their season on a high with a win against the defending champions. Kane Williamson’s side is coming off a close win over RCB.
On the head-to-head front, both the teams have gone neck to neck with each other, with MI being victorious in 9 encounters while SRH in 8.
The last time these two sides met, in Chennai in April, Rohit Sharma’s team won by 13 runs, successfully defending their total of 150. Kieron Pollard smashed 35 runs off 22 balls while Trent Boult and Rahul Chahar picked up three-wicket hauls each.
