Weather Report:
According to the weather report, the skies will remain clear all day, so there’s no rain expected to interrupt this six-hitting thriller. We’re all set for a full, uninterrupted match!
Pitch Report:
Traditionally, the Wankhede Stadium is known to be a chase-friendly venue, but since the start of IPL 2024, teams batting first have won five of the nine games here. Pitch No. 6 will be used for the contest, meaning the square boundaries will be fairly equidistant.

Player To Watch Out For:
Apart from Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, and Hardik Pandya, another player to keep an eye on is Ishan Kishan. He’s been with Mumbai Indians for 7 years now and knows MI’s key pacers—Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult—very well, having played alongside them for years. But of course, knowing their bowling style doesn’t necessarily make it easier. Facing Bumrah and Boult is always a tough challenge, as they are two of the best in the game.
Prediction:
We’re backing SRH for today’s match. Their batting lineup runs deep and is packed with world-class talent. With Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma both back in form, Mumbai’s bowlers could be in for a rough day. That said, if the Hitman—Rohit Sharma—finds his rhythm, things could swing MI’s way quickly. SRH’s bowling hasn’t looked the strongest, and if Rohit fires, Mumbai’s chances shoot up. All eyes on whether the greatest six-hitter in Indian cricket can light up the Wankhede tonight!
