SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) face Mumbai Indians (MI) in match number eight of IPL 2024 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Wednesday, March 27. Both SRH and MI lost their opening games and will be keen to get their first points on the board.
Hyderabad were involved in a close encounter with Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens in Kolkata, losing by four runs. In a throwback to IPL 2023, Heinrich Klassen (64* off 25) almost singlehandedly pulled off an unlikely win for SRH. The franchise needs more significant contributions from others in batting.
Mumbai, meanwhile, suffered a six-run loss against Gujarat Titans in their IPL 2024 opener. Bowling first, MI did well to restrict GT to 168-6, with Jasprit Bumrah claiming 3-14. However, despite 40s from Rohit Sharma and Dewald Brevis, they faltered in their chase, finishing with 162-9.

Today's SRH vs MI pitch report
According to Brian Lara, the surface in Hyderabad always looks like a great batting track, with the pitch in use for Wednesday's game devoid of grass.
He reckons the best time for batters will be against the new ball, as the bowlers will use variations and slower ones as the ball loses shine. Lara feels that it's a bat first wicket and added that spinners will come into play, as dew isn't expected.
