Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will fly to Mumbai as they take on Mumbai Indians (MI) for the second time in match number 69 of IPL 2023, at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on May 21, 2023.

Mumbai Indians will be coming into the contest on the back of a marginal 5-run loss against Lucknow Super Giants, despite the start the openers gave in their last game. With 14 points in 13 games, they are placed in sixth position in the points table courtesy of a negative Net Run Rate.

A win in the last game is certainly not enough to progress to the playoffs, they need either LSG, CSK or RCB to lose their last game. A loss in the game against SRH would ensure their exit from the tournament (data till match 66).

They have been outclassed by Virat Kohli’s masterclass. With 8 points in 13 games, they sit at the bottom of the table and stand eliminated.
