IPL 2021 has indeed brought a cricketing treat for the fans as almost every match that has been played has been a closely fought encounter. Now, the focus shifts to defending champions Mumbai Indians who are all set to take on its arch-rivals SunRisers Hyderabad on Saturday at the Chepauk Stadium. 

Rohit Sharm & Co have brought their confidence back after they registered their first win against KKR. MI's leg spinner Rahul Chahar turned the match upside down as he achieved his career-best bowling figures by taking four wickets in four overs against KKR at the MA Chidambaram stadium. On the other hand, David Warner-led SunRisers Hyderabad is still looking for their first win and trying to sort out their best playing XI. 

David Warner might give an opportunity to New Zealand's ace batsman Kane Williamson in order to bolster their middle order. The inclusion of Williamson will help Warner to let Jonny Bairstow open with him for the SunRisers Hyderabad. On the other hand, Mumbai Indians might go without any changes as their squad seems balanced on the paper. 

Talking about head-to-head record both the teams have given tough competition to each other as out of the 16 times they have faced each other, both MI and SRH have eight victories each to their name. In the last five encounters, MI holds the slightest of advantage winning three matches compared to Hyderabad’s two. Last season, Mumbai won the opening fixture against Hyderabad but in the return fixture, the five-time champion was comprehensively beaten by SRH.
