SRH is defending champion and have won both their matches at their home. Now, they visit Mumbai today to play their first away game. They have shown very good performances with both bat and ball. The bowling is very disciplined with experienced bowlers like Nehra and Bhuvaneshwar. Rashid Khan has proved to be their smart pick this season who has troubled the batsmen a lot with his spin. To add to that unit, Mustafizur is fit to play today. The batting unit has already shown that their top four are in good touch with fifties from Warner, Henriques and Yuvraj. So, SRH start as favourites in this match. Mumbai, on the other hand, has lots of issues to deal with. They have lost Rayudu to injury. Rohit sharma is yet to find form. However, they can cheer the good work by Pandya brothers and Nitish Rana. Today they can make a change if they wish to drop McClenaghan who was expensive last match. Buttler and Pollard should retain their places and Malinga will spearhead the bowling unit along with Bumrah. They can include M Johnson in playing eleven today or may even try Gunaratne.
Key players for fantasy teams:
MI : Buttler, Rohit, Malinga, Krunal P, Hardik P
SRH : Warner, Dhawan, Yuvraj, Nehra, Rashid
This is going to be a tough match. A good opening partnership can be useful for MI. But, I feel SRH will win this match with another good all round show.
