At the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Wednesday night, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians will play Match 8 of the Indian Premier League 2024. Both clubs suffered defeats in their first games; Sunrisers fell to Kolkata Knight Riders by 4 runs, while Mumbai Indians fell to Gujarat Titans by 6 runs. In Hyderabad, the game starts at 19:30 local time.
Despite losing their opening match of the 2024 Indian Premier League, Sunrisers Hyderabad, who ended last in the standings, had many positive moments. But this appears to be another really difficult matchup with the Mumbai Indians.
The fifth match between the Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans was highly entertaining, even if Hardik Pandya’s club was eventually unable to overcome the team he left at the end of the previous season. However, any team that has Jasprit Bumrah, Rohit Sharma, and Hardik would be dangerous, hence we predict that side to win this match.
Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Mumbai Indians Team Preview & Squads
Sunrisers Hyderabad
The team’s new captain, Pat Cummins, was unable to change the team’s fate in the opening contest. The squad lost the thrilling high-scoring match against Kolkata Knight Riders by 4 runs, which was a painful blow. The Mumbai Indians will be a formidable opponent, and Cummins anticipates a passionate effort from his team.
Abhishek Sharma and Mayank Agarwal batted admirably in the previous game, and the team anticipates an explosive opening partnership from them. Given the form of Heinrich Klaasen and Markram, Rahul Tripathi needs to perform well at number three and lead the innings. They anticipate Shahbaz Ahmed, Marco Jansen, and Abdul Samad to score runs.
Their bowlers did not perform well in the previous match, thus Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Marco Jansen will be needed to bowl tight spells for the team. The side will be hoping for a strong performance from T Natarajan and Cummins in the middle overs after his strong bowling. Shahbaz Ahmed and Mayank Markande give the assault more depth.

Mumbai Indians
For the twelfth IPL season running, Hardik Pandya’s squad persisted in losing the opening match of the season. The five-time winners lost to the Gujarat Titans by six runs in a close game. To move past this setback and earn their first points of the year, Pandya and his team would like to. They’ve had success against the Sunrisers, and Pandya wants his team to draw motivation from previous victories.
Ishan Kishan, who was absent from the previous game, will try to get off to a fast start against the well-played Rohit Sharma. The squad needs runs from Naman Dhir, Dewald Brevis, and Tilak Varma because their middle order is strong. This team’s powerful batting lineup is completed by clean-striker Tim David and Pandya.
Luke Wood and Hardik Pandya appeared rusty in the previous match, so the team will need a solid showing from them in the first few overs. Jasprit Bumrah bowled well, giving the team more confidence. The Sunrisers have powerful hitters on their roster, therefore Gerald Coetzee, Piyush Chawla, and Shams Mulani need to perform well in supporting roles.
