IPL match today, SRH vs MI: Team prediction, head-to-head, Hyderabad pitch report, weather update

Pat Cummins-led Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will take on Hardik Pandya's Mumbai Indians in match no 41 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Wednesday.
With only two wins in seven outings, Pat Cummins’ side is under immense pressure to turn things around. Their campaign has been riddled with inconsistency, especially in the batting department which, despite boasting of explosive names, has flattered to deceive. The bowling unit too has lacked bite, and the combination of both has left SRH languishing in the bottom half of the table.

On the other hand, the Mumbai Indians arrive in Hyderabad riding high on momentum. After a shaky start to the season, the five-time champions have bounced back emphatically with three consecutive wins, the latest being a dominant nine-wicket victory over Chennai Super Kings. Chasing 180 on a flat surface, MI romped home with more than four overs to spare — a statement win that underlined their return to form.

SRH vs MI: Hyderabad pitch report
The pitch at Hyderabad is likely to be a belter. There have been four scores of 240-plus this season in eight innings so far, so expect a lot of runs. Hyderabad as a ground has the highest strike-rate amongst batters and also the place where most sixes have been hit this season.
