MI vs SRH Match Preview – The ending week of the league matches has started in the Indian Premier League season 12, and now it’s time for the clash between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH).

In their previous match, Mumbai Indians failed to chase the target against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and lost the game. However, Hardik Pandya’s knock of 91 runs on 34 balls has won the hearts of every cricket fans.
On the other hand, Kane Williamson-led Sunrisers Hyderabad has won their previous match by defeating the Kings XI Punjab (KXIP).
David Warner is leaving the SRH team to join the national training camp ahead of the World Cup, and thus the Orange Army will miss their most consistent batsman. However, Martin Guptill is certainly the perfect replacement for David Warner as a opener.
