MI vs SRH Dream11 prediction: Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad preview  

The Mumbai Indians side did not have an ideal start to their Indian Premier League campaign this year as they came second to the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the inaugural contest of the season. However, the five-time champions made a stunning comeback by registering a famous 10-run win against the Kolkata Knight Riders in their subsequent encounter. The MI team is considered as one of the most balanced sides by many, considering the presence of a number of T20 stalwarts in their line-up. They are currently placed third on the points table and have a significant chance of claiming the top spot by claiming a thumping win against the Sunrisers Hyderabad. 

The David Warner-led SRH side are the only team that are still winless in the 14th season of the cash-rich league. They have several unanswered questions to address ahead of their forthcoming fixture, especially when it comes to the depth in their batting order, as they heavily rely on David Warner and Jonny Bairstow for the fireworks. SRH are currently languishing at the bottom of the points table and a victory against the Mumbai Indians will give them much-needed confidence as they look to stage a turnaround after their dismal performances in the first two games.

The track at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai is traditionally known for its assistance to spinners and slow bowlers. Batting here is a little difficult, which is why batsmen need to get their eye in before deciding to shift gears. Teams batting first have had an advantage on the venue, which is why the captain winning the toss could look to bat first on the surface.
