IPL 2024 Spotlight: Match 8 SRH vs MI Stats Preview And Approaching Milestones

Get ready for one of the most exciting matches of the Indian Premier League 2024 season! Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will take on Mumbai Indians (MI) in match number 8 of the IPL 2024 season at Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, Hyderabad, on March 27, 2024. In the ongoing tournament, both teams lost their first match of IPL 2024, so they would like to get to winning ways. The Sunrisers will be playing their first home match of IPL 2024, and they would love to open their account in front of their home crowd. Pat Cummins-led SRH began their IPL 2024 campaign with disappointment as they lost against two-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by a narrow margin of four runs at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. Sunrisers Hyderabad will look to make a solid comeback in their first home match against the Mumbai Indians.

Klaasen, Bumrah in spotlight as Sunrisers and Mumbai aim for first points

The opening weekend of the IPL 2024 season has set the tone for an exciting season ahead! Heinrich Klaasen played an unbelievable knock of 63(29), taking his team close to victory against Kolkata Knight Riders. Mayank Agarwal 32(21) and Abhishek Sharma 32(19) stitched a superb opening partnership of 60 in just 33 balls. Their lack of opening contributions was one of the main problems in IPL 2023. T Natarajan also made an amazing comeback after injury, bowling a fantastic spell (4-0-32-3) and was top-class in the death overs. The Sunrisers will hope that these three continue their good form.

On the other hand, Hardik Pandya's MI also started their season with a six-run loss against Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. Traditionally, Mumbai Indians have been slow starters, having lost their opening match every season since IPL 2013. Jasprit Bumrah (4-0-14-3) bowled a spectacular spell, which also helped MI restrict GT to a below-par total. Along with him, Indian captain Rohit Sharma played a blistering innings of 43(29), which kept MI in a comfortable position against Gujarat Titans. Mumbai Indians will hope that these two continue their good form and help the team start the winning momentum.
