MI vs SRH Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing 11 Updates for Today's IPL Match - Oct 4th, 2020
Match 17 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 has defending champions Mumbai Indians taking on the high-flying Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
After two disappointing losses to begin their campaign, the Sunrisers have done well to get their act right against the likes of CSK and DC. What would delight Sunrisers the most is the performance of Priyam Garg and Abhishek Sharma in the middle order as they decimated CSK on Friday.
However, they would be worried over Bhuvneshwar Kumar's fitness after the ace bowler hobbled off the field in their previous game, especially with a star-studded MI side awaiting them.
Speaking of the Mumbai Indians, Rohit Sharma and co come into this fixture on the back of a stunning win against KXIP. Apart from captain Rohit Sharma's fifty, Hardik Pandya and Kieron Pollard's pyrotechnics also came to the fore, which might spell trouble for the rest of the IPL.
With the likes of Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult leading the pace attack admirably, the Mumbai Indians look well on course to top the table once again in IPL 2020.
The last time these two sides met in an IPL fixture, MI edged SRH in a Super Over thriller, although the Sunrisers didn't have Warner and Bairstow in that game.
With both of them set to star for the Sunrisers at the high-scoring Sharjah Cricket Stadium, we should be in for a highly entertaining game on a double-header Sunday in IPL 2020.

Pitch Report
An absolute run-fest is on the cards in Sharjah despite MI and SRH possessing the best bowling attacks in the competition. The dimensions of the ground go against the bowlers, with more than 40 sixes having been hit at this venue in two IPL 2020 games at the time of writing.
Although there should be a hint of swing on offer with the new ball, the bowlers will have a tough time with there being little room for error. Change of pace has been relatively successful at this venue, which is something the batsmen will be wary of in the middle overs.
With this being an afternoon fixture, both teams will ideally want to bat first and set a target of at least 200, although you never know what a safe score at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium is.
