IPL 2020: MI vs SRH Preview – Mumbai, Hyderabad seek winning momentum
Rohit Sharma’s Mumbai Indians and David Warner’s Sunrisers Hyderabad will take on each other at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Match 17 of IPL 2020. Both the teams have 2 wins to their name in 4 matches. Mumbai Indians defeated Kings XI Punjab by a mammoth 48 runs. SRH are coming after a good performance against Chennai Super Kings, defeating them by 7 runs.
Mumbai will be worried about Quinton de Kock and Suryakumar Yadav’s form. Their non-performance is adding pressure on the middle order to perform consistently. Their bowling has been top-notch, with Krunal Pandya also coming into form. Sunrisers Hyderabad would be glad that their youngsters Priyam Garg and Abdul Samad performed extremely well in tough situations. Their bowling also performed well, like in the previous matches. SRH’s bowling attack is a tough nut to crack, especially while chasing.

Team News:
Mumbai Indians:
Captain Rohit Sharma became the 3rd batsmen to reach 5000 runs after Virat Kohli and Suresh Raina, playing a captain’s innings of 70. The return to form of Pandya brothers is also extremely good news for Mumbai Indians. They are not likely to make any changes now, with Ishan Kishan also replacing Saurabh Tiwary with no further issues.
Sunrisers Hyderabad:
The injury of Bhuvaneshwar Kumar in the penultimate over of Chennai Super Kings’s chase could be a major concern for the Orange Army. He tried to stretch his leg and returned to his bowling mark before aborting his run-up once more. There isn’t any news yet about the seriousness of the injury, but it is highly unlikely that he would play the next game. Sandeep Sharma or Siddarth Kaul could be a probable replacement for him. Warner also talked about how the players have adapted extremely well to the conditions.
