Hey folks, it’s not even the end of the first week of the IPL 2024, even before that we witnessed a handful of nail-bitters. There was no shortage of excitement within the first week of the tournament. Today we’ll see the Mumbai Vs Hyderabad, match no 8 preview. Both teams are returning from a loss that should’ve been the other way around. Both teams showed what they were capable of doing in the first match. I am one hundred percent sure that this match too will be a nail-biting, last-over thriller.

Players To Watch Out For:
SRH: From Hyderabad, I’ll pick 3 players. Obviously Klassen, is an explosive middle-order batter. Aiden Markram, his form is a reason for concern to SRH, he should perform well in this match or might lose his place to Travis Head or Glenn Philips. The last one is T Natrajan, he was exceptional in the previous game and should continue to bowl the same way.
MI: For Mumbai, two players’ performances will be key to their success. One is Ishan Kishan. He went for a duck the previous game which was a very bad way to start the tournament. He should bounce back not only for the sake of his IPL team but also to keep his window of opportunity open for the T20 World Cup. The other one is the skipper Pandya. He should come, up the order in batting to contribute something for his team. They can manage without his bowling but cannot without his batting. He can single-handedly win the matches with the bat, so promoting himself up the order might be the ‘X’ factor for both him and the team.
Conclusion:
Both teams will eye for their first win in the tournament. So far, the home teams won all seven matches that happened. Can Hyderabad continue with that record, or the record-breakers will stop the streak?!!🧐 Let’s see…
