MI vs SRH Dream11 Prediction: Mumbai Indians (MI) will look to restore their pride when they host Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at Wankhede Stadium on Monday, May 6, 2024. On current form, MI are the worst team in the league, sitting at the bottom of IPL 2024 points table. SRH meanwhile slipped to fifth following Chennai Super Kings‘ 28-run win over Punjab Kings in Dharamshala.
No one foresaw MI‘s current predicament. When Hardik Pandya took charge of this team, brimming with talent from top to bottom, the assumption was they would at least contend for the top four. However, it’s been far from a fight for the five-time IPL champions. Hardik‘s team lost the last four games, reaching a nadir after a 24-run home defeat to Kolkata Knight Riders.

That home defeat dealt the final blow to their top-four hopes. Even with wins in the remaining matches, MI can only reach 12 points. Thus, they are out, even if we resort to complex mathematical calculations to make a case for Mumbai Indians.

Now, it’s about pride—no small thing to fight for. Expect the wounded lion, i.e., Mumbai Indians, to put up a better fight than the last match against KKR because the fans of this team deserves better days than they have endured in home games. So it’s up to MI players to repay their loyal fans who have filled the stadium in every game with a win over SRH.
As for Sunrisers Hyderabad, the season remains alive and kicking. They have everything at stake, albeit with a slim margin as we approach the end of the league stage. Missing out on the top four would be a disappointment for a team that has delighted every cricket fan with its aggressive brand of cricket.
However, at this stage, only a win matters—those crucial two points. It doesn’t matter how they come. SRH must win this match to control their playoff destiny. A victory at Wankhede Stadium would propel them above CSK in the points table. Hence, it’s a high-stakes game for Pat Cummins and company.

MI vs SRH Pitch & Weather Report
Pitch Report: Although 20 wickets fell in the last match played at Wankhede Stadium, the pitch, however, is not that bad. The surface at this venue remains batting friendly. The short boundaries and quick outfield also favors the batter. So don’t expect either team getting all-out here, but bowlers will have their phases in the match. In any case, expect the team batting first to post at least 175 runs.
Weather Report: The temperature is likely to drop from 26°C on Monday to 25°C on Tuesday. So it’s good mild weather conditions for the game of cricket. But players will find it difficult to cope with the high humidity levels touching almost 60%. Rain is expected to arrive by May 21, so for the time being, the matches in Mumbai shouldn’t get affected from precipitation.
