Mumbai Indians Betting Analysis
Captain Hardik Pandya offers the potential for both runs and wickets for his team. The latter has been a particularly profitable avenue for Hardik this season, who has picked up ten wickets from five games at an average of two wickets per match. Those numbers warrant investment from bettors, specifically on the Mumbai captain to accrue over 1.5 match wickets.
Sunrisers Hyderabad Betting Analysis
Against an intimidating looking Mumbai Indians batting line-up, Harshal Patel could prove crucial to the success of Sunrisers Hyderabad here. The experienced 34-year-old has already taken eight wickets this season across five games and his smart pace variations could reap rewards.

Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Expert Prediction
Mumbai Indians simply need to use their most recent victory as a springboard to put together a run of positive results like we so often see from them across the second half of an IPL tournament. Whilst Sunrisers Hyderabad are also coming off the back of a win, they have thoroughly underwhelmed on the road this season, losing all their away fixtures. With that in mind, back Mumbai to be the side who makes it back-to-back victories.
