The Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad played two very exciting matches at Chennai in the first week of IPL 2020. While the Mumbai Indians triggered a dramatic collapse and won the game against KKR, Sunrisers Hyderabad suffered a dramatic collapse and lost its match against RCB.

Needless to say, Mumbai Indians is the happier camp to be in right now.

SRH has lost both its matches in IPL 2021 so far and has some pretty big issues to get past. The team is not balanced and the choice of the overseas players is not clear either. MI also has to make a few adjustments in its strategy as it is going to be playing five matches in Chennai during IPl 2021 and those are not going to be easy to win.

Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad IPL 2021 is going to be played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai on the 17th of April 2021.

Date -Apr 17, 2021

Time-19:30 IST / 14:00 GMT

Venue -MA Chidambaram Stadium – Chennai, India

Winner -Mumbai Indians

MI VS SRH TOSS PREDICTION

The toss is going to be very interesting. Teams have had a tough time chasing in Chennai and we think they may start opting to bat first from here on in. The dew that was expected to even things out has not yet turned up and the ball becomes very difficult to hit after it becomes a bit old.

PITCH AND CONDITIONS

The conditions in Chennai have been quite tough for the batsmen. The new ball has been the best time to bat against and the spinners have held sway after that. The death overs used to be where the batting side would attack the most but that has proven to be very difficult indeed.

A total of around 150-160 should be seen as very competitive batting first. The pitch will continue to be slow, offer turn, and test the batsmen.

Delhi Capitals will take on Sunrisers Hyderabad in the second qualifier of the Indian Premier League. The match will be played on the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium and is scheduled to begin at 6:00 PM local time

Coming so close and losing – No team would want to feel this bitter feeling but unfortunately, one of DC or SRH have to bid adieu the tournament post the match. Delhi Capitals will be sweating over their opening conundrum. They’ve tried Prithvi Shaw, they’ve tried Ajinkya Rahane but none have seemed to work so far. Their vows don’t end here as the rest of the batsmen haven’t done something extraordinary either. Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, Ajinkya Rahane, all have been disappointing. Marcus Stonis and Axar Patel definitely batted well against Mumbai but their consistency will always be in question. Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje forms a lethal pace attack but it seems that they’ve ran out of gas in the last few games. The only ray of hope will be the form of Ravichandran Ashwin, who’s been brilliant of late. Delhi will be hoping that Rabada and Nortje can find their mojo back because not batting; it’s the bowlers that’ll be Delhi’s biggest strength against SRH.

DC Vs SRH Toss Prediction

Toss can’t be predicted and captain that wins the toss has a tough choice to make. If there is dew, batting second is the most feasible option, if not, chasing won’t be easy.

Weather Report

Weather in Abu Dhabi will be pleasant with temperatures hovering in the comfortable late 20’s

Pitch Condition

The pitch at Abu Dhabi is a slow wicket. Batting here will require some application. The dew will make it easier to chase buy if there is no dew, team batting second can get into trouble.

Delhi Capitals Predicted Playing 11

Prithvi Shaw/Alex Carey, Shikhar Dhawan, Ajinkya Rahane, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, Marcus Stoinis, Axar Patel, Ravi Ashwin, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, Tushar Deshpande/Daniel Sams

Royal Challengers Bangalore will take on Sunrisers Hyderabad in the eliminator of the Indian Premier League. The match will be played on the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium and is scheduled to begin at 6:00 PM local time

RCB’s campaign in the Indian Premier League comprises of two extreme halves. In the first half they played like a team that was there to win, in the second half they completely lost their way. It’s not that they’re playing poor cricket, they’ve just not been good enough. All of their batsmen have some runs behind them, it’s just that they haven’t been able to score freely which has made them settle for a below par score. In the second inning, with all the dew around, chasing gets considerably easier thus conditions also had a role to play in RCB’s misery. So what can RCB do from here? They need to bowl first if they win the toss. It’s a very straightforward decision. However, toss is not something that’s in your control and if they’re forced to bat first, they should aim for a target of around 180. Anything less than this will be very hard to defend. Getting to 180 won’t be easy either. One would assume that Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers will have a big role to play.

For Sunrisers Hyderabad, they’ve turned things around in the most dramatic way. They’re coming back from 3 consecutive victories and are at the top of their game. Wriddhiman Saha at the top has been phenomenal. His blitz in the powerplay allows David Warner to set himself in and later capitalize on the start. Manish Pandey too have been finding some form in the last few games. Credit must also be given to the Hyderabad bowlers for keeping their reputation even after the injury to their lead pacer Bhuveneshwar Kumar. Sandeep Sharma has been brilliant along with T Natarajan and Shahbaz Ahmed. Not much need to be said about the class of Rashid Khan. The only loop hole in Hyderabad team is their middle and lower middle order that hasn’t delivered as per the expectation. Overall, it’s building up for an enthralling encounter but with momentum on their side, Sunrisers Hyderabad are big favourites to win the match

Mumbai Indians will take on Delhi Capitals in the first playoff of the Indian Premier League. The match will be played on the Dubai International Cricket Stadium and is scheduled to begin at 6:00 PM local time

With league matches done and dusted, it’s the time for the all-important playoffs. One team between Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals will march into the final while the other team will have another shot against the winner of the match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Sunrises Hyderabad. So who do you have their noses ahead in this match- We certainly want to put our money on Mumbai Indians. Sunrisers Hyderabad thrashed Mumbai in the last game but they were without the services of Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult and Hardik Pandya, all of them are expected to be back for this match. Mumbai as a team look a ruthless unit with all their players at the peak of their form.

Delhi Capitals on the other hand ended their losing streak after an emphatic victory over Royal Challengers Bangalore. Delhi will be jubilant to see Shikhar Dhawan and Ajinkya Rahane back among the runs but the form of Prithvi Shaw will continue to be the nemesis for them. Shreyas Iyer too has not been in the best of form of late while Rishabh Pant has struggled to score runs at a brisk pace. In the bowling department Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje have been fantastic but the rest of the bowling looks bleak. Delhi has quite a few loop holes in their team which they need to address before the match.

Dream 11 Team

Sunrisers Hyderabad will take on Mumbai Indians in the 56th match of the Indian Premier League. The match will be played on the Sharjah Cricket Ground and is scheduled to begin at 6:00 PM local time.

So we’re into the final league game of the Indian Premier League and still, even after 55 games we are yet to find all the 4 times for the playoffs. That’s the competitiveness we’ve seen in this year’s IPL. The situation for Sunrisers Hyderabad is pretty simple. If they win, they’re through to the playoffs on account of a better run rate but they’re up against the best team of the tournament, Mumbai Indians, so a win will require some exceptional performances. Sunrisers Hyderabad have some momentum on their side going into this match as they’re coming back from two massive wins over Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore. The problem for Sunrisers still will be their batting that has not been that consistent. Yes, they got 219 against Delhi Capitals the other day but they lack depth in their batting. Wridhhiman Saha at the top has been exceptional in two games he’s played while David Warner too has been among the runs. However, the likes of Manish Pandey, Kane Williamson have been very disappointing. Sunrisers will need them to deliver in this knockout game. Credit must go to the Hyderabad bowler for standing up tall even without the services of their main bowler, Bhuvenshwar Kumar.

Mumbai Indians will be there to give Hyderabad a run for their money. Looking at Mumbai Indians squad, they look a team that’s very hard to defeat. Not that they can’t lose but you need to put together an exceptional performance to get over them. As a team, they’ve a brutal batting line up while Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult and Nathan Coulter-Nile form  a lethal pace attack. The only weak link in the Mumbai Indian seem to be their lower middle order in Krunal Pandya, Jayant Yadav and Keiron Pollard that hasn’t had enough chances to bat. Hardik Pandya was rested for the last game and Mumbai, having already qualified for the playoffs might not want to stress his ace finisher against SRH.

Kolkata Knight Riders will take on Rajasthan Royals in the 54th game of the IPL 2020. The match will be played on the Dubai International Stadium, Dubai and is scheduled to begin at 6:00 PM local time.

We’re into the last phase of the IPL 2020 from now onwards, every match can be seen as a knock out game. Rajasthan Royals in the last two games have shown what they’re capable of. With two back to back wins they’ve kept their hopes alive in the tournament. However, they need to continue winning the matches as a loss will end their hopes of qualifying for the playoffs. In Ben Stokes they’ve got a match winner at the top. Sanju Samson too is back among the runs. With Buttler batting at 6, RR has enough depth in their batting. Their only concern will be a bleak bowling attack that is heavily dependent on Jofra Archer. They’ll need some of the other bowlers to put their hand up in this crunch game.

Kolkata on the other hand has completely lost the momentum in the last few games. They too face a must win situation to stay in contention for the play offs. Kolkata will majorly depend upon the trip of Shubhman Gill, Nitish Rana and Eoin Morgan to the bulk of the scoring. Sunil Narine too on his day can get vital runs. KKR has a decent bowling attack in Lockie Ferguson, Pat Cummins and Sunil Narine. Overall, both teams have enough firepower in their kitty but RR has the momentum on their side which might just work in their favour.

KKR vs RR Toss Prediction

Toss is absolutely crucial here as teams batting second have a huge advantage due to dew.

Weather Report

The weather at Dubai will make it challenging for the players with temperature hovering in high thirties for most part of the day.

Pitch Condition

The match will be played on the Dubai International Stadium, Dubai. During the first half of the tournament, batting first was the most feasible option but with dew around, teams chasing are having the best batting conditions in the last few games. It’s a tricky call for the captains. You need to put on additional 20 runs to cover up for the dew. 200 will be a good score here.

Chennai Super Kings will take on Kings XI Punjab in the 53rd match of the Indian Premier League. The match is scheduled to take place at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium, Abu Dhabi and will take place at 10:00 PM local time.

With just few matches left in the group stages, teams are battling hard to find a place in the top 4. It’s strange that even after 52 games, every team, apart from Chennai, every team can make it through to the playoffs. Kings XI Punjab’s 5 match winning streak was halted by a ruthless Rajasthan unit, who in the process have kept their hopes alive. Punjab now face a very tricky situation where even a win might not secure a place in the playoffs. The fourth entrance in the playoffs will most probably decided by the nut run rate and Punjab need to pull off a big win to get their net run rate better than the other teams. Punjab’s tournament has been a mixture of two extremes/ First they lost 5 back to back matches in the first half of the tournament then bounced back to win their next 5. Punjab hasn’t played bad cricket, even in the matches they’ve lost. Against Rajasthan they posted a decent total of 185 but bowling second was always going to be difficult on this wicket. Chris Gayle scored a magnificent 99 against Rajasthan and KL Rahul, as we all know is in the form of his life. Other players haven’t got much opportunity with the bat but are capable enough to demolish any bowling line up. Punjab is heavily dependent on Mohammed Shami for the wickets but will need their other bowlers to step up to the occasion.

For Chennai, they’re already knocked out of the tournament but can play a spoilsport in Punjab’s campaign. After a horrible first half, Chennai have fared decently in the second half, winning 3 of the 6 matches they’ve played. They’re coming back from two consecutive victories and would be looking to end their tournament on a high. Ruturaj Gaikwad has been the biggest positive for CSK in the last two games. Ambati Rayudu too looked good in the previous game. Jadeja down the order have been magnificent with the bat. However, the middle order looks bleak in MS Dhoni and N Jagadeesan. Moreover, there is no clarity on whether Faf du Plessis will feature in the game or not. As a bowling unit, Chennai brought in Ngidi who responded with a couple of wickets. Deepak Chahar and Sam Curran have been good too. On paper Chennai is on par with Punjab but practically, KL Rahul’s team has a better chance of emerging victorious.

Royal Challengers Bangalore will take on Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 52nd match of the Indian Premier League. The match will be played on the Sharjah Cricket Stadium and is scheduled to begin at 6:00 PM local time

We’re approaching the end if the IPL 2020 and apart from Mumbai, none has cemented its place in the playoffs. With 7 wins in 12 games, Delhi and Bangalore have got their one foot in the playoffs but still, they need one win to confirm their birth. Things were going smoothly for RCB but two back to back against Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians have got them into a spot of bother. RCB now need to win both their games to finish in the top two. If one analyses both their previous losses, they’ve been below par with the bat. Yes, one or two players have helped them to post a decent total but as a team they’ve led themselves down. With all the dew around, 180 is a must on this wicket. RCB need to get those extra 30 runs to give their bowlers a fair chance.

Sunrisers Hyderabad on the other hand are coming back from a massive victory over Delhi Capitals, keeping their hopes alive for making it into the top 4. The victory over Delhi will give Hyderabad a lot of confidence and self-belief. The biggest positive for SRH will be the way David Warner played in that match. Warner was consistently among the runs for SRH but his strike rate must have been concerning for Hyderabad. The last game he looked like the David Warner we all are used to seeing, at his brutal best. Wriddhiman Shaha replaced Jonny Bairstow as an opener and what a move it turned out to be. He played a brutal knock off 87 in just 45 balls, paving way for a massive total. Manish Pandey too made a solid contribution. As a bowling unit, every one delivered as per the expectation. Only if Hyderabad can repeat their last performance, Bangalore will have a hard time defeating them. At the moment, we’ll give Royal Challengers Bangalore a slight edge over Sunrisers Hyderabad due to their superior batting line up.

Kings XI Punjab will take on Rajasthan Royals in the 50th match of the Indian Premier League. The match will be played on the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi and is scheduled to begin at 6:00 PM local time

Kings XI Punjab and Rajasthan Royals battle for a place in the playoff in a crucial encounter. The game stands of utmost importance for both teams but for Rajasthan, it’s a do or die situation as a loss with knock them out of the competition. They face a stern challenge from Kings XI Punjab who has turned things around in the most dramatic way, winning all of their last 5 matches. A win for Punjab will get them to 14 points, tied with RCB and DC. Rajasthan pulled off a miraculous victory against Mumbai Indians but beating Punjab won’t be that easy. Punjab’s batting is on fire in the tournament. Earlier, the issue for Punjab was their over dependence on KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal but now, with Gayle and Mandeep Singh performing, it has become a ruthless batting line up. In the bowling department, Mohammed Shami has been the nemesis for the opposition while Chris Jorden and Ravi Bishnoi have provided ample support to him. Overall, Punjab looks very strong contender to win this match. Rajasthan on the other hand themself boasts of a decent batting line up. Ben Stokes is coming back from a breath taking hundred against Mumbai while Steve Smith and Sanju Samson have given signs of a return back to form. Buttler too played a brilliant innings against CSK the other day. The problem for Rajasthan is their bowling which is too much dependent on Jofra Archer. Shreyas Gopal has been good but Rajasthan need a strong performance from all their other bowlers to restrict Punjab. As of now, Punjab are likely to continue their juggernaut.

Chennai Super Kings will take on Kolkata Knight Riders in the 49th game of the IPL 2020. The match will be played on the Dubai International Stadium, Dubai and is scheduled to begin at 6:00 PM local time.

Picking up early wickets, chocking the opposition with their spin in the middle overs and then getting off to a breezy start, Chennai Super Kings’ victory over RCB was a typical Chennai performance we were used to witnessing. They arrived, but it was a little too late as Rajasthan Royals victory over Mumbai Indians shattered CSK’s hopes of making it through to the playoffs.  Now with their hopes quashed, Chennai would want to salvage their pride by winning the remaining two games. Ruturaj Gaikwad played a brilliant knock in the last game and MS Dhoni will be hoping that this youngster continue sparking in the reaming games as well. Faf du Plessis and Ambati Rayudu either ways have been CSK’s two best performers. In the bowling department, Deepak Chahar and Sam Curran have delivered on most occasions. On Paper, CSK looks as good as anyone will they be able to replicate their performance is yet to be seen.

Kolkata Knight Riders on the other hand have completely lost momentum in the latter half of the tournament. They’ve lost 4 off their last 6 games and face a must win situation against Chennai. The problem for KKR has been their batting which has completely collapsed in the last few games. Apart from Eoin Morgan, none has delivered consistent performances. Nitish Rana played a brilliant knock against Delhi but couldn’t back it up with another good one. Same goes with Shubhman Gill and Rahul Tripathi. Dinesh Karthik is going through a horrific tournament. Things won’t be easy for KKR but they’ll have to overcome the obstacles if they’re to taste glory. The pitch will definitely favour KKR more and they’re expected to emerge victorious against MS Dhoni’s men.
