Quick SRH vs MI Preview
These are two teams who have had a similar start to the competition. Both sides had a chance to win their opening game and for a while it looked like they were the favourites to do so too but tumbled to a narrow but shocking loss.
Having restricted Gujarat Titans to 168, Mumbai Indians were 107/2 in 12 overs before falling short by six runs.
On the other hand, the Sunrisers needed six from the final four balls of their game against Kolkata Knight Riders only to make a run from that.
And those losses would have brought back bad memories for both the teams. Mumbai Indians have now not won their opening match at the IPL since the 2012 edition while Hyderabad had come into this season with a bottom finish last year.
Which team will turn things around here?
What Have The Two Teams Done So Far?
Both sides have played one game and lost it. One of them can be expected to take full points given the weather outlook for Wednesday in Hyderabad looks like the chances of rain are as high as the chances of snow in Mumbai.
A high of 41 degrees celcius is expected during the day and while it will get cooler in the evenings, it could still be a little stifling. Dew could play a part in the second part of the game.
