IPL 2019, MI vs SRH Preview: Can Mumbai take advantage of Warner's absence?

1.jpg

In match 51 of the VIVO Indian Premier League 2019 (IPL 2019), Mumbai Indians will host Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday. Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians are at third position in the IPL Points Table 2019 with 14 points in 12 matches, while Kane Williamson’s SRH is at the fourth spot with 12 points in 12 matches. A win is important for both the teams as any slip from here can break their IPL playoff dreams. Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals have already sealed their play-off spots, while the other two slots are yet to be decided. If Mumbai win the match, their ticket will be confirmed for the playoffs while a victory for SRH will take the team one step closer to the playoff berth. Hyderabad will go to the clash without season's top-scorer David Warner (692 runs from 12 matches), who left for Australia to join the national camp ahead of the World Cup, which begins on May 30 in England. Martin Guptill might replace David Warner at the top in SRH playing 11. Mumbai would look to take advantage of Warner and Jonny Bairstow's absence, but it remains to be seen if Kane Williamson, Wriddhiman Saha and Manish Pandey can surprise the hosts.

In hard-hitting all-rounder Hardik Pandya (355 from 12) and West Indian powerhouse Kieron Pollard (228 from 12), MI possess two batsmen who routinely take the opposition bowling attack to the cleaners in the last few overs of the innings.

 The likes of Surya Kumar Yadav and Krunal Pandya will need to convert starts into bigger scores against the multi-pronged SRH attack in which Afghanistan's Rashid Khan (14 wickets) has been the standout performer.
