Mumbai Indians, bolstered by Suryakumar Yadav's return to form, will look to continue their winning momentum when they face a resurgent Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League on Tuesday. Both MI and SRH are coming into Tuesday's match after successive wins. They had started the tournament with identical back-to-back losses.

On Sunday, Suryakumar snapped his wretched run of low scores, which included four ducks, with a quickfire 25-ball 43 as MI chased down 186 with 14 balls to spare for a comfortable five-wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders in Mumbai. If Suryakumar was sensational, opener Ishan Kishan looked ominous during his 25-ball 58 and the side will expect the duo to produce the fireworks again in SRH fixture.

MI, who had struggled in the first two games, are now looking a very balanced side with Tilak Verma also in good touch, while the dashing duo of Cameron Green and Tim David too producing the goods when it mattered the most. Meanwhile, the wily Piyush Chawla has brought all his experience to the fore and, alongwith young Hrithik Shokeen, has formed a formidable spin duo. Arjun Tendulkar and Duan Jansen too were handed IPL debuts on Sunday and it remains to be seen if MI persist with the duo.
Sunrisers, on the other hand, found new heroes in Harry Brook and Abhishek Tripathi to record two victories in their last two matches. While Brook finally lived up to the expectations with a 55-ball 100 against KKR, Tripathi had slammed a 48-ball 74 to take the team home against Punjab Kings. Captain Aiden Markram's contribution in both the matches has been immense as he held the other end with scores of 50 and 37 in the last two matches.

11:10 PM: 178 in 19.5 overs
Washington Sundar departs run out as Behrendorff delivers a full ball, and Sundar hits it to mid-off where the fielder quickly throws the ball towards the stumps, getting a direct hit. Initially, the batsman took long strides, but towards the end, he slowed down, thinking the ball might hit him instead of the stumps. However, the ball hit the stumps, and Sundar was well short of the crease. This run-out will shatter Sundar and SRH's hopes. Sundar scored 10 runs off 6 balls, including 2 fours.
10:52 PM: 153/7 after 17 overs
Tim David takes an easy catch at long-on as Marco Jansen departs caught off Meredith's slower ball. The delivery was banged in short of a good length, and Jansen mistimed his pull shot due to being a bit too early into it. He needed to stay longer in the crease to make a more significant contribution. Meredith deceived Jansen with a well-executed change-up delivery, which the batsman wasn't expecting. This wicket adds to Meredith's impressive tally of important dismissals. Jansen scored 13 runs off just 6 balls, which included 3 fours.
10:33 PM: 142/6 after 16 overs
Mayank's innings comes to an end as he departs caught by Tim David off Meredith's delivery. The ball was full and angled in, and David did well to run to his right and take the catch at long-on. Mayank missed the opportunity to hit it away as he failed to generate enough power to clear the boundary. The batsman's dismissal will be a major setback for SRH, and he himself would be disappointed with the outcome. Despite being a set batter, Mayank's pick-up shot off the pads lacked timing and power, which cost him his wicket. He scored 48 runs off 41 balls, which included 4 fours and 1 six.
10:25 PM: 125/5 after 14 overs
Klaasen departs, caught by Tim David off Chawla's delivery. The batsman perishes to the googly after attempting one shot too many. As they say, you can't always rely on aggression. Chawla slightly varied the length, which prompted Klaasen to move back and attempt a forceful shot down the ground. However, the ball hit the lower part of the bat and went high up in the air. The fielder initially moved forward, but then retreated to grab the catch. Klaasen's innings comes to an end after scoring 36 runs off 16 balls, including 4 fours and 2 sixes.
10:13 PM: 101/4 after 12 overs
Chawla strikes again, and it's a tame dismissal for Abhishek Sharma. Chawla bowls a well-tossed googly, and Sharma chips it inside out, finding the fielder at long-off, who takes an easy catch. Chawla picks up his second wicket of the match, and it's probably the easiest one he has taken in the tournament so far. Tim David is the man who picks up the catch, and SRH's batting is falling apart. Sharma would be disappointed as he departs for just one run off two deliveries.
9:59 PM: 63/3 after 8 overs
Green strikes, and it's a wicket against the flow of the game. Markram attempts a pull shot to a short ball, but this time, he finds Hrithik Shokeen at deep square. Shokeen runs in and takes a low catch, anticipating the ball's dip, which didn't help Markram's lack of timing. Markram managed to avoid the fielder earlier in the over, but this time he couldn't escape. The visitors get a massive breakthrough as Markram departs for 22 runs off 17 balls, including one boundary and one six.
9:46 PM: 33/2 after 4 overs
Behrendorff gets his second wicket, and Mumbai's start with the ball is looking promising. Tripathi departs after playing a weak shot. Behrendorff bowls a good length delivery around the off-stump, and Tripathi, who fails to move his feet, pokes at the ball tentatively. The outside edge travels to the right of Kishan, who takes a comfortable catch. It appeared as if Tripathi attempted to guide the ball to third man but instead ended up edging it. Tripathi's innings comes to an end after scoring seven runs off five balls, including one boundary. Behrendorff has once again given his team a crucial breakthrough in the early overs of the match.
9:30 PM: 19/1 after 2 overs
Behrendorff strikes! Harry Brook is caught by Suryakumar Yadav. The orange supporters in the crowd are shocked as the centurion from the previous game departs early. Behrendorff possibly set up Brook with a length ball before pitching one short, causing Brook to attempt a pull shot, but the ball bounces awkwardly, hitting the bat's splice and ballooning straight up. SKY, positioned at cover, runs in and safely pouches the catch. Brook's innings comes to an end as he departs for nine runs off seven balls, including two boundaries. The dismissal has given Behrendorff and his team a crucial breakthrough early on in the match.
