Match preview: MI vs SRH- Mumbai Indians (MI) must defeat Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on May 21 at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai in order to advance to the playoffs of the current IPL 2023. They also need to increase their net run rate because RCB are closely pursuing them. Although Suryakumar Yadav and Nehal Wadhera are in excellent form and the five-time champions anticipate them to keep it up, there is still cause for concern with their bowling.
On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad has played some really terrible cricket so far this season. The team led by Aiden Markram is now last in the IPL points standings and would like to end the season on a positive note. It would be fascinating to watch if the management reinstates Umran Malik to the playing XI or decides to keep him out of their final league match of the season given the social media hype his absence from the playing XI has already generated.
At Wankhede Stadium, the playing surface is ideal for the batsmen to dominate. The team winning the toss should choose to bowl first because chasing is rather simple on this wicket; anything over 190 will be a respectable total.
Mumbai Indians (MI): Rohit Sharma (c), Ishan Kishan (wk), Cameron Green, Suryakumar Yadav, Nehal Wadhera, Tim David, Hrithik Shokeen, Chris Jordan, Piyush Chawla, Jason Behrendorff, Akash Madhwal
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH): Abhishek Sharma, Rahul Tripathi, Aiden Markram (c), Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Harry Brook, Glenn Phillips, Abdul Samad, Kartik Tyagi, Mayank Dagar, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Nitish Reddy

Probable Best Batter
Heinrich Klaasen:
Heinrich Klaasen, a player representing South Africa, is in outstanding form this year. He scored a brilliant century against RCB in the most recent game, and overall he has 430 runs in 11 games, which puts him eighth in the IPL Orange Cap race. However, the Wankhede surface would work well for his style of play, making Klaasen one of the players to watch out for.
