Match 55 of the ongoing IPL 2024 will be played between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on May 6th, Monday.

Mumbai Indians lost their last match against KKR by 24 runs, having won just 3 matches this season out of 11.

Sunrisers Hyderabad won their last match against RR by 1 run, with 6 wins from 10 matches so far.

MI Could Try Out New Faces:

MI, now out of IPL 2024 contention, might experiment with new faces. Harvik Desai could replace Ishan Kishan, and Kumar Kartikeya may come in for Piyush Chawla in the XI.

Dewald Brevis might replace Naman Dhir, considering MI played with only 3 overseas players in the last match.

Romario Shepherd to be Back:

MI lacked batting depth in the last match, prompting consideration for Romario Shepherd‘s return to the XI. He could be an impact player, particularly for his batting prowess.

Mohammad Nabi is another option for MI, having been dropped from the XI for Naman Dhir in the last match.

Nuwan Thushara Shines:

Thushara made an impact against KKR in the last match, taking wickets of their top order. Although his economy rate is above 10, he managed to dismiss Salt, Raghuwanshi, and Shreyas Iyer, albeit conceding 42 runs in his 4 overs.

Anshul Kamboj or Arjun Tendulkar could get a game if the management decides to rest one of Bumrah or Coetzee.

Mumbai Indians Probable XI vs Sunrisers Hyderabad:

Ishan Kishan (wk)/Harvik Desai, Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Nehal Wadhera, Hardik Pandya (c), Tim David, Gerald Coetzee, Piyush Chawla, Jasprit Bumrah, Nuwan Thushara

Impact Player – Romario Shepard/Dewald Brevis
