Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Prediction & Betting Tips -
by Devesh Jaganath | in Indian Premier League Predictions
The Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad will face off in match 55 of the 2024 Indian Premier League this Monday afternoon. The hosts are currently second-bottom in the league standings, while the visitors are fourth. With just four games to play, the Mumbai Indians look destined to miss out on the playoffs for the third time in four seasons. They are currently on six points, which is the same gap to the top four sides in the table. Mumbai suffered a fourth consecutive defeat on Friday night when they came up 24 runs short of the Kolkata Knight Riders' 169-run target at the Wankhede Stadium. Suryakumar Yadav scored 56(35) in the defeat, and Jasprit Bumrah took 3/18. With that, Bumrah has now recaptured the purple cap on 17 wickets in the competition, two more than his closest rival. Mumbai’s batting lineup has largely failed to impress in this year’s IPL, and they will now face another stern test against an opponent that has already got the better of them earlier in the competition.
Meanwhile, the Sunrisers are on course to make the playoffs for the first time in four years, currently holding onto fourth spot with 12 points, four behind leaders Rajasthan Royals and two ahead of fifth-placed Chennai Super Kings. They will come into this match brimming with confidence after handing the Royals only their second loss of the tournament on Thursday in a nail-biting finish that saw the sides separated by a single run. Nitish Kumar Reddy and Travis Head top-scored for the side with 76* and 58, respectively, while Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Thangarasu Natarajan took 3/41 and 2/35. Head is now eighth in the orange cap standings, while Natarajan is second in the race for the purple cap and will have the opportunity to catch Bumrah in this match. Despite beating this opponent earlier in the competition, SRH are the underdogs in this one according to the bookies.

Our Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Prediction
While the Mumbai Indians undoubtedly have the class in their ranks to compete with any team in the league, they have just not clicked this season and head into this match following a morale-sapping performance against KKR, where they threw the game away from winning positions on more than one occasion. They’ll undoubtedly still be hurting from that loss and we feel they’ll struggle to improve in this one. Our Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad prediction: Sunrisers Hyderabad to win the match.
