Reigning IPL champions Mumbai Indians face a struggle in this latest match in the seventh edition of the tournament as they take on in form Sunrisers Hyderabad.
The hosts have an impressive record at home since making their IPL bow in 2013 and have won their last two matches to make a march on the playoffs.
Mumbai meanwhile are still languishing near the bottom of the table having lost six of their eight matches so far in 2014.
They looked to be getting out of their rut from the UAE leg of the competition that saw them lose their first five matches, by then beating Kings XI Punjab and Royal Challengers Bangalore.
However, defeat to Chennai Super Kings on Saturday was a step back for Rohit Sharma’s team and now the outlook for defending their title looks very bleak.
The captain has been among their better performers, along with Kieron Pollard and Ambati Rayudu, but supposed big names such as Mike Hussey and Corey Anderson need to start showing more.
Hyderabad have beaten Rajasthan Royals and struggling Delhi Daredevils in their last two games, spearheaded by a bowling attack that contains Dale Steyn, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Amit Mishra.
Their batting could be improved though and skipper Shikhar Dhawan, Aaron Finch, David Warner and Darren Sammy need to start performing better if they want to make the last four.
