MI, meanwhile, are unchanged.

Here is how the teams lineup:

Preview

Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians (MI) will host Kane Williamson’s Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the 23^rd match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) with a hope of turning things around in the tournament.

Both teams suffered a similar fate in their previous IPL encounters. While MI suffered a heartbreaking three-wicket loss to Rajasthan Royals (RR), SRH fell short of the target by four runs, losing to MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings (CSK).

MI will have a lot to worry about after having narrowly lost the first three matches, games which they should have won.

Despite the knock of 94 against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Rohit Sharma has not had a successful tournament for him personally, having failed to post a big total otherwise.

Despite Suryakumar Yadav (72) and Ishan Kishan (58) producing good performance vs RR, the defending champions went down as they gave away a lot of runs in the final overs.

Meanwhile, Kane Williamson’s knock of 84 suffered a similar fate as the hosts fell short by four runs.

When is the match?

The match is scheduled to start at 8 P.M. IST on Tuesday (April 24).

Where is the match?

The match will take place at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.
