Teams Status

Mumbai Indians

Just as it happens so often, Mumbai Indians have officially come alive. Their hammering of Rajasthan Royals has closed the gap on the coveted fourth spot and they now are hot on the heels of Kolkata Knight Riders.

That said, they left it so late this time that their fate is not in their own hands anymore. And if KKR trounce Rajasthan Royals on Thursday night and maintain the superiority of their net run rate, then what Mumbai do against Hyderabad in this match would become irrelevant.

If they miss out on playoffs, though, it would be a strange development as you don’t often see IPL post-regular season without its most winningest side.

In their last game, Mumbai brushed aside Rajasthan by eight wickets, giving themselves a decent chance to sneak into the playoffs ahead of the final round of matches. Another one of those lopsided wins would do them a world of good, but they’d also need luck to be on their side.

Sunrisers Hyderabad

Sunrisers Hyderabad are fresh off of causing another upset. They beat contenders Royal Challengers Bangalore on Wednesday night.

Having posted a modest 141-7, they were supposed to struggle to protect that total but a lackluster performance by Kolkata batters in the run chase made the job easier for them.

Hyderabad pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar deserves credit for defending 13 runs in the last over despite bowling four of those final six balls to AB de Villiers.

Tipster’s Angle

Tip: Highest opening partnership – Mumbai Indians @ 1.83

Neither opening pairing has delivered big stands of late but Mumbai’s duo of Rohit Sharma and one of Ishan Kishan and Quinton de Kock are more capable of doing that. Therefore, the play here is to back Mumbai openers to provide a bigger stand than their Hyderabad counterparts in this game. The play can be found on Betway.

Tip: Jason Roy total runs under 25.5 @ 1.88

Jason Roy’s approach to batting is quite risky and therefore there are often gaps between his big knocks. You’d often see him play a decent knock followed by a few failures and then a big knock again. He scored 44 in his last game, after two single-digit scores. We think he is due a few quiet nights now. The play can be found on Dafabet.
