Weather Report for March 27
Pitch Report
Analysis
The Sunrisers Hyderabad had some top performers in their opening game against the Kolkata Knight Riders but lacked composure in the crucial moments. Whether with the bat or ball, SRH were on top in both innings but a few individual errors cost them the game. But Hyderabad will hope to see the likes of Mayank Agarwal and T Natarajan continue performing well after the duo had a disappointing 2023 season.
Similarly, the Mumbai Indians were in cruise control for most of the game but allowed the Gujarat Titans to come back and thrillingly seal the victory. For MI, their biggest under-performer was the new captain, Hardik Pandya, who failed to deliver with the ball and bat. Pandya will be crucial in MI’s batting in the absence of Suryakumar Yadav and will need to bat up the order. Whereas other crucial players like Rohit Sharma, Gerald Coetzee and Jasprit Bumrah looked in top form and the team will want these stars to perform at the highest level consistently.
