Can Hyderabad give Nightmare to Mumbai Indians playoffs hope?

The 69th Match of the Indian Premier League(IPL) 2023, will be played between Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on 21st May.

So it's a must win match for the Mumbai Indians if they lose here RCB will qualify easily but even if they win their run rate is not good but first thing they have to do is to win the match. In the previous match against Lucknow it was a close match as on bowling first conceded 177 runs, Jason Behrendoff was economical and also picked up 2 wickets but in death Chris Jordan conceded a lot of runs. While chasing the total Mumbai Indians got a good start as they were 90 for no loss but ended up losing the match by just 5 runs. On the other hand Sunrisers Hyderabad lost their previous match against RCB but they would be very happy how Heinrich Klassen is striking the ball his form has been amazing he scored his maiden 100 in the IPL but didn't get support from the other hand as usual and in bowling Sunrisers Hyderabad got there 1st wicket at the score of 172, they lost the match one sided. For them it's just trying out a few players but if they win here they will give Mumbai Indians a dent in their playoff hopes.
