IPL 2023, SRH vs MI: With SKY's return to form, Mumbai seeks to carry on winning momentum against Hyderabad
IPL 2023: SunRisers Hyderabad will host Mumbai Indians on Tuesday. With Suryakumar Yadav's return to form, the visitors will be willing to carry forward the winning momentum in this tie.
FollowBolstered by Suryakumar Yadav's return to form, five-time record former champion Mumbai Indians (MI) will look to continue its winning momentum when it faces a resurgent former champion SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the 2023 Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad on Tuesday.
Both MI and SRH are coming into Tuesday's match after successive wins. They had started the tournament with identical back-to-back losses. On Sunday, Suryakumar snapped his wretched run of low scores, which included four ducks, with a quickfire 25-ball 43 as MI chased down 186 with 14 balls to spare for a comfortable five-wicket win over former two-time champion Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Mumbai.

If Suryakumar was sensational, opener Ishan Kishan looked ominous during his 25-ball 58 and the duo will look to produce the fireworks again when they take on the Sunrisers. MI, which had struggled in the first two games, is now looking like a very balanced side with Tilak Verma also in good touch, while the dashing duo of Cameron Green and Tim David too producing the goods when it mattered the most.
In the bowling department, the wily Piyush Chawla has brought all his experience to the fore and, along with young Hrithik Shokeen, has formed a formidable spin duo. However, MI's pace unit needs teeth with Jofra Archer, who has been sidelined due to fresh elbow trouble post his appearance in the first match of the season.
In his absence, Riley Meredith has shouldered the responsibility in the last two games that he has played, but MI is yet to zero in on a settled pace unit, having tried Jason Behrendorff the other day. Arjun Tendulkar and Duan Jansen were also handed IPL debuts on Sunday, and it remains to be seen if MI persists with the duo.
Sunrisers, on the other hand, found new heroes in Harry Brook and Abhishek Tripathi to record two victories in their last two matches. While Brook finally met the expectations with a 55-ball 100 against KKR, Tripathi slammed a 48-ball 74 to take the team home against Punjab Kings (PBKS). Captain Aiden Markram's contribution in both matches has been immense, as he held the other end with scores of 50 and 37 in the last two games.
However, Mayank Agarwal has stuck out like a sore thumb with his lack of runs at the top. Among the bowlers, spinner Mayank Markande has been SRH's highest wicket-taker with six wickets, while Umran Malik, Marco Jansen and Bhubneshwar Kumar have troubled the opposition. Tuesday's match could also clash between twin Jansen brothers -- Duan and Marco -- if both are picked in their respective team's playing XI.
