Analysis

IPL 2024 has been a season to forget for the Mumbai Indians with an abysmal record of eight losses from 11 games. Throughout the 2024 season, the MI batting has performed inconsistently, starting from the top order which hasn’t given the required starts putting extra pressure on the middle and lower order. Similarly, the bowling has been inconsistent, barring Jasprit Bumrah, the leading wicket-taker this season.

On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad have returned to winning ways after a minor dip in form. The SRH batting has been the side’s strength with Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Henrich Klassen and Nitish Reddy scoring runs at an incredible clip. Whereas their bowling has made gradual improvements with captain Pat Cummins and T Natarajan leading the charge.
