SRH vs MI Dream11 Prediction: Mumbai Indians hit the road for the 2nd consecutive game when they play Sunrisers Hyderabad at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, on March 27, Wednesday evening. Both teams are under pressure heading into this game after suffering defeats in their respective opening IPL 2024 matches.
Needing just 6 runs off 4 balls, Sunrisers Hyderabad had the match in their grasp. After all, SRH had already scored 54 runs in the previous 14 balls while chasing 60 runs in 18 balls to win the match against Kolkata Knight Riders. But after hanging in during the improbable situation, SRH folded at the worst possible time. The 2016 winners eventually lost the match by four runs.
For Mumbai Indians, things could have been entirely true. They could have a win reflecting against their name on the points table. But just like SRH, MI also shot themselves in their foot, as they threw away the match from a comfortable position.

SRH vs MI Pitch & Weather Report
Pitch Report: The nature of pitch at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium has always inclined towards the batsmen. The batters find it easy to score runs which is quite evident from last season’s stats, as the average 1st innings score at this ground was 174 runs. But bowlers do have periods when they are on the top, especially during the initial overs when the ball swings. Since this is the first IPL 2024 game at this venue, spinners might not get enough purchase from the deck.
Weather Report: There are little or no chance of precipitation today. It’s a sunny day in Hyderabad with the temperature hovering between 35°C and 38°C when the match kicks off.

TOP Picks For SRH vs MI Dream 11 Match
Captain Options:
- Rohit Sharma: MI’s decision to appoint Hardik Pandya as captain might be a blessing in disguise for Rohit Sharma who unlocked his former self against Gujarat Titans. Rohit scored a whirlwind of an innings with 34 runs coming in boundaries. He looked calm as well as dangerous during his 29-ball stay on the pitch.
- Heinrich Klaasen: The 32-year-old South African is a player who is in his own league at the moment. From a seemingly improbable situation, he single-handedly brought SRH back into the game against KKR, scoring 63 runs off just 29 balls which had 8 towering sixes.
- Jasprit Bumrah: When one of your bowler carved out figures such as 3/14 in a T20 game, your side should end up on the winning note. That’s why Bumrah must be pissed off at MI’s batsmen for throwing away the match against Titans. Nonetheless, expect Bumrah to be more or less the same in this game.
- Hardik Pandya: Pressure keep mounting on Pandya. His side lost the opening game, while some of the decisions he took were questioned. In spite of that, Pandya is heck of a player who can make the opponents pay with his bowling and batting.
Vice-Captain Options:
- Dewald Brevis: Still just 20, Dewald Brevis played like a seasoned pro against GT. He looked calm and showed that he has the ability to mold his innings as per situation. Brevis could be key for Mumbai Indians this season.
- T Natarajan: The 32-year-old is back in conversation for a place in India’s T20 World Cup squad. With figures of 3/32, he was SRH’s best bowler in the last match.
- Aiden Markram: The former SRH captain couldn’t impact the match with his batting. He will be extra motivated to redeem for the lost opportunity.
