Match 8 of the 2024 Indian Premier League sees Sunrisers Hyderabad take on Mumbai Indians on Wednesday evening at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. Both teams lost their opening fixtures with Sunrisers losing by 4 runs to Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians losing to Gujarat Titans by 6 runs. Read on as we preview this game. The match gets underway at 19:30 local time in Hyderabad.
Pitch Report:
The pitch at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium is known for offering assistance to both batters and bowlers. Initially, bowlers can expect seam and swing movement, but as the match progresses, the pitch tends to favor batters, with spinners also finding some turn. However, given it's the season opener, spinners may not find as much support initially. The average score when batting first at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in the IPL is under 160 but with totals increasing over recent seasons we expect a par first innings total to be around 180.
Toss Prediction
Considering the dew factor, the sides could be inclined towards chasing. So, the team that wins the toss could opt to field first.

Stats that Matter for Today’s Match Prediction
SRH Key Players
- Heinrich Klaasen - The keeper-batter had a brilliant tournament in 2023 and after hitting eight sixes whilst almost winning the game against KKR he looks set to do the same this year.
- Mayank Agarwal - The right-handed opener hit four fours and one six at the top of the order in the first game and the 33 year old has over 4700 T20 runs in his career.

- T Natarajan - The 32 year old bowler dismissed Venkatesh Iyer and Shreyas Iyer within three balls of each other and then also got the wicket of Rinku Singh in an impressive start to the tournament.
MI Key Players
- Rohit Sharma - The experienced opener has not had the best of recent seasons for Mumbai Indians but struck seven fours and one six in Match 5 of IPL 2024.
- Dewald Brevis - The South African top scored for Mumbai Indians against Gujarat Titans and we can expect him to bat in a positive manner once again in this game.
