Preview:

With two wins in four games, the Mumbai Indians (MI) seem to be on the course to make it big once again this season. Their performances in the last three games have been brilliant. While they defeated the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) by big margins, they fell marginally short against the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). At this stage, they would be quite pleased with where they are placed and would fancy carrying on that winning momentum.

MI will square off against the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the first game of the double-header on Sunday. After losing two games back-t0-back, the Sunrisers seem to have got back on the track. The team won their last two games against the Delhi Capitals (DC) and the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). With rejuvenated confidence and considering the fact that they have got a decent record against the Mumbai Indians, the ‘Men in Orange’ will look to make it a hat-trick with a win in this match.
