IPL 2020 Live Score, MI vs SRH: Launch Report
Simon Doull calls it a bowler’s graveyard. As he and Murali Kartik analyze the surface that will be used to play today, they cannot believe how flat it is. Kartik says there will be no spin for the spinners and no movement for the bowlers. It has a “Six-Fest” written all over it. Win the toss and opt to bat, acknowledges Doull.
Mumbai Indians: Explosive to Death
The Mumbai Indians hitters have had a great outing when it comes to hitting in the death overs. Between over 16 and 20, MI has reached the most limits – 33, among the eight IPL 2020 franchises so far.
Live Score, MI vs SRH IPL 2020: A match full of great hitters!
The Sunrisers Hyderabad-Mumbai Indians game is full of stars. Rohit Sharma, David Warner, Jonny Bairstow, Kane Williamson, Kieron Pollard, Hardik Pandya, Mohammad Nabi. It is a long list. Sharjah’s small limits are just what these big hitters will be looking to conquer. In three games at this venue, a total of 90 sixes have already been reached.
The Power of Pandya, Pollard for the Indians of Mumbai
On this interesting nugget, Hardik Pandya has a hit rate of 240 on death overs while Pollard reads 260. Still surprised why MI sent Pollard and Pandya on Super Over?
Rahul Chahar ahead of Yuzvendra Chahal, Rashid Khan
Mumbai Indians leg spinner Rahul Chahar has bagged six wickets in four games, which is one more than Yuzvendra Chahal, Piyush Chawla, Rashid Khan, Rahul Tewatia and Murugan Ashwin, making him the leading land receiver by a spinner at IPL 2020.
Injury concerns for SSR
In addition to Bhuvneshwar, questions about the availability of the Vijay Shankar off-roader also prevail. Provided neither of them is deemed fit for today’s game, can Siddharth Kaul play his first game of the season?
Clash of two openers!
When you think of two of the strongest limited-limit starters of today’s generations, the names Rohit Sharma and David Warner come to mind. The two starting hitters have come a long way since their verbal altercation at an ODI in Australia in 2015. Warner has softened since his 12-month suspension, but his bat hasn’t. During the closing, the two openers even did a friendly live chat on Instagram. The one thing in common between Warner and Rohit, aside from being world-class starters, is that Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians’ chances of winning skyrocket when they score big.
Will Warner go big today?
With scores of 36, 45 and 28, it’s not like David Warner hasn’t had any starts in the IPL, except in the first game where he fell too far behind at the non-forward end. The stage couldn’t be better for Warner to hit big. You should imagine those little limits of Sharjah.
IPL 2020 Live Score: Rahul Chahar Threat to Warner?
So far David Warner has been fired three times by a leg-spinner at IPL 2020. He was out of Piyush Chawla against CSK, Amit Mishra against Delhi Capitals and Varun Chakravarthy’s broken leg against KKR. The Mumbai Indians have Rahul Chahar in their ranks and management would be aware of Warner’s struggles against the leg twist.
Some interesting facts and curiosities:
– Manish Pandey is 40 minutes away from completing 3,000 races in IPL.
– Trent Boult is online to play his 100th T20 match today.
– Rohit Sharma will join Suresh Raina as the second most capped IPL player in history with 193 matches.
Will Chris Lynn replace Quinton de Kock?
In four games, Quinton de Kock has had scores of 33, 1, 14 and 0, and the Mumbai Indians are likely to rest him to give Chris Lynn a shot at the top. Lynn was sold to MI for Rs 2 crore at the IPL auction last year and given his successful record for Kolkata Knight Riders, don’t rule out the possibility of seeing a new opening pair coming out today.
How is Sunrisers’ Playing XI expected to be?
Despite recording back-to-back victories, David Warner is likely not to field the same XI that beat Sunrisers Hyderabad in the match against Chennai Super Kings. Against a strong unit like the Mumbai Indians, Warner can alter the XI of play, with a couple of tactical changes. That it could be? Click here for our planned XI for the 2016 Champions.
Rohit’s record is not so encouraging against the SSR
Rohit Sharma has starred with the bat in both games the Mumbai Indians have won. However, before the SRH clash, a trivia could worry Rohit and his team, which is the captain’s disappointing record against the Sunrisers. Rohit has scored 217 runs with an average of 19.73. These are his worst results against an active IPL team.
The Bhuvneshwar Kumar question
Will he play or not? Bhuvneshwar Kumar stood twice during his career in the previous game against Chennai Super Kings and walked off the field with the team physio. Captain David Warner said he was “not very sure” whether Bhuvneshwar will recover in time for Sunday’s clash, and if that is the case, MI will start with a big advantage.
IPL 2020 MI vs SRH: record in the previous five games
If the previous five matches are to be taken into account, it is the Sunrisers Hyderabad who are outscoring the Mumbai Indians by one game, leading the score 3-2, including a winning hat-trick.
The last time MI and SRH did it …
It was Match No. 51 of IPL 2019, in which the Mumbai Indians tied with Sunrisers Hyderabad and both teams finished at 162/6. Quinton de Kock’s 69 brought IM to the total and in response Manish Pandey scored the leading scorer with 71 for the game to end in a draw. At the Super Over, the Mumbai Indians kept their nerves and beat the Sunrisers Hyderabad with Hardik Pandya hitting a six and helping MI chase nine runs with three balls remaining.
MI vs SRH: head to head
In all editions of the IPL, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians have met 14 times and unsurprisingly there is hardly anything to choose between them. SRH shares a slight 7-6 record over MI, while one game ended in a draw.
Sunrisers Hyderabad is not far behind
The 2020 IPL campaign did not start on the best of marks for Sunrisers Hyderabad, who lost their first two matches to Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kolkata Knight Riders. But two wins in two games thereafter, against Delhi Capitals and Chennai Super Kings, have done their confidence a lot of good, and the current team mix seems to be working for them. The 2016 IPL champions have shown from the start why they cannot be counted at any point during the tournament.
Mumbai Indians Story So Far at IPL 2020
It will be difficult to choose a favorite between these two sides, because so far there is not much to choose from their performance in the IPL 2020.
