After suffering a narrow four-run loss at the hands of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in their opening game of the season, Sunrisers Hyderabad are all set to play their first home game of IPL 2024 as they face Mumbai Indians on Wednesday (March 27).
Notably, Sunrisers lost six of their seven matches at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium during the Indian Premier League 2023 season and hence would be eager to get off to a winning start at home.
On the other hand, even Mumbai Indians lost a close game against Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad as they went down by six runs. With the growing criticism, MI's newly-appointed skipper Hardik Pandya would be eager to register a win on Wednesday and put all the talks to rest.
