Preview:
While any clash between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings, two of the Indian Premier League‘s most successful teams, is likely to be a nail-biting affair, the last game between these teams was beyond spectacular. The Indians chased down a humongous target of 219 runs, thanks to a sublime knock from Kieron Pollard.
The story has been completely opposite in the camp of the team they will face in the upcoming match – Sunrisers Hyderabad. Despite changing leadership, there was no change in their fortunes, as Rajasthan Royals defeated them convincingly. Hyderabad are now at a stage where one wouldn’t be able to guarantee them a place in the playoffs, even if they win all of their remaining games.

SRH vs MI Risky Captaincy Choices:
Despite being on the receiving end of criticism, it is undeniable that Manish Pandey has been a consistent run-getter for Hyderabad. He has scored 30+ runs in four of his last five games.
Suryakumar Yadav might have been a bit under the radar in this season’s IPL, but he is usually hard to stop on the days he gets going.
Player you should avoid:
Hardik Pandya is not getting a chance with the ball, and he is also batting way down the order to have a big influence, Hence, it is better not to pick him in your fantasy team.
