IPL 2015: Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad - Venue, date and predicted line-ups
Will the Mumbai Indians revive themselves at their home? They have made a disastrous start to this year’s IPL and as we are about to reach the halfway stage, they need a turnaround like the one they had last season. They will be up against the Sunrisers Hyderabad who beat the Kolkata Knight Riders in their previous match. They lie in the bottom half of the table, but a win would boost their chances of fighting for a top 4 spot.
