Probable 6s
Sunrisers Hyderabad have a batting unit of Harry Brook, Rahul Tripathi, Aiden Markram, Abhishek Sharma and Heinrich Klaasen. MI also have the likes of Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Verma and Tim David but they will be facing a better attack.
Our prediction: Sunrisers Hyderabad to hit most sixes in the match at 13/10 (2.30).

Marco Jansen has been superb with the new ball, picking four wickets in two games. Back him to be SRH’ top wicket-taker at 3/1 (4.00). For Mumbai Indians, Piyush Chawla has done well with five wickets at an economy of 6.25. He is a good bet to be the top bowler for MI at 13/5 (3.60).
Our prediction: Marco Jansen to be Sunrisers Hyderabad’ highest wicket-taker at 3/1 (4.00).
Man of the Match
Rahul Tripathi was magnificent against Punjab Kings, where he struck an unbeaten 74 off 48 balls. Back Tripathi to be the player of the match at 12/1 (13.00). Among others, Aiden Markram, Marco Jansen and Suryakumar Yadav are top betting options.
Our prediction: Rahul Tripathi to be the Man of the Match at 12/1 (13.00).
SRH vs MI Preview
Both MI and SRH are two points away from the second spot but are placed eighth and ninth, respectively. Let’s take a look at two teams as they look to get moving on the points table.
Sunrisers Hyderabad
SRH lost the first two games of the season but then defeated Punjab Kings by eight wickets and Kolkata Knight Riders by 23 runs. They also need to improve their net run-rate, which reads -0.822.
Harry Brook became the first centurion of the IPL 2023. Brook, Rahul Tripathi, Aiden Markram and Heinrich Klaasen form a solid batting unit. Washington Sundar was left out for Abhishek Sharma last game and he was superb.
