Hyderabad will clash with Mumbai to break the losing streak and keep hope alive

Mumbai, May 16 (Agency)

Sunrisers Hyderabad will have to break their five consecutive losing streak in their match against Mumbai Indians in the match against Mumbai Indians on a tough if-but-tall to keep their bleak hopes of a place in the Indian Premier League (IPL) playoff alive. Sunrisers have lost five matches in a row after winning five in a row. If he wins both his remaining matches, he will be on 14 points but to reach the playoffs, he will have to pray for favorable results in other team’s matches as well. But if he loses in the match at the Wankhede Stadium, he will definitely be out, as seven teams have 12 points or more. Hyderabad needs to do better in batting. Captain Kane Williamson has struggled to score runs this season. He has scored only 208 runs in 12 matches. They need to return to their true colors. Head coach Tom Moody had defended the decision to open the innings from in-form Williamson and the New Zealand player will have to prove his coach right. A good start has to be converted into a big score. They will, however, face a tough challenge from a formidable Mumbai attack on a pitch conducive to fast bowlers.

Sunrisers have good batsmen in the middle order in the form of Rahul Tripathi, Aiden Markram and Nicholas Pooran but they have to maintain their game. . The role of Washington Sundar and Shashank Singh as ‘finishers’ will also be significant.

Have to be cautious with Umran

However, Sunrisers’ bowling is strong with Umran Malik, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Marco Yansen and yorker specialist T Natarajan. Mumbai batsmen especially need to be on guard against Malik who has taken 18 wickets so far. Mumbai, who were out of the race for the playoffs, had defeated Chennai Super Kings by five wickets in the last match, which should have boosted their morale. For Mumbai, the form of captain Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan, who was bought at the highest price, is a matter of concern. In the absence of Suryakumar Yadav, both of them will have to take more responsibility and give the team an aggressive start.

Tilak Verma is handling the responsibility

Tilak Verma has handled the responsibility of the less experienced middle order well. It will not be easy for batsmen like Daniel Sams, Tim David, Tristan Stubbs and Ramandeep Singh to face the Sunrisers bowlers. In bowling, fast bowler Sams is adept at taking wickets initially. Jasprit Bumrah and Riley Meredith are also playing their roles. Spinner Kumar Karthikeya Singh is bowling well in the middle overs.

The teams are as follows:

Mumbai Indians: Rohit Sharma (captain), Anmolpreet Singh, Rahul Buddhi, Ramandeep Singh, Tilak Verma, Tim David, Arjun Tendulkar, Basil Thampi, Hrithik Shokeen, Jasprit Bumrah, Jaydev Unadkat, Mayank Markande, Murugan Ashwin, Riley Meredith, Tymal Mills, Arshad Khan , Daniel Sams, Dewald Brevis, Fabian Allen, Kieron Pollard, Sanjay Yadav, Aryan Juyal and Ishan Kishan.

Sunrisers Hyderabad: Kane Williamson (captain), Abhishek Sharma, Rahul Tripathi, Aiden Markram, Nicholas Pooran, Abdul Samad, Priyam Garg, Vishnu Vinod, Glenn Phillips, R Samarth, Shashank Singh, Washington Sundar, Romario Shepherd, Marco Yansen, J Suchit, Shreyas Gopal , Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Sean Abbott, Karthik Tyagi, Saurabh Tiwari, Fazlhaq Farooqui, Umran Malik, T Natarajan.
