MI look to continue dominant run after comeback

Mumbai Indians have often started their campaign slowly, and this season has been the same. They began with a loss against arch-rivals Chennai Super Kings. Their next game against Gujarat Titans also resulted in a defeat.

While they managed to win their first game of the season against Kolkata Knight Riders in the third match, their next two matches also ended in defeats, against Lucknow Super Giants an Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

With four losses in their first five games, they were struggling in the bottom half. However, MI have made a stellar comeback with three consecutive wins heading into the game against SRH.

They beat Delhi Capitals, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and Chennai Super Kings. The five-time champions will be eager to make it a double over SRH and continue their winning streak. They now have four wins and as many defeats from eight matches and are much better placed than where they were earlier in the tournament.

With the top half of the table closely packed and not much to separate the teams, it will be important for MI to build on the momentum and register another win here.
