Mumbai's only win
Mumbai Indians have only one win in this season! That was against Royal Challengers Bangalore. The four losses have been very close ones and every match has been lost in the final over. What that has done is Mumbai's run-rate has not fallen in the negative.

Happy Birthday Sachin!
Expecy massive reception and electric atmosphere at the Wankhede today. Sachin likely to be in the house, on his birthday, and a win would only be a fitting end to his 45th birthday.
SRH skipper Kane Williamson in the lead up to the game: "It's definitely a challenge when the games get close. The responsibility of a captain or a leader at that time (is to figure out) what works next, to try and remind ourselves how can we best offer ourselves to others around us than get too caught up in the emotion. It's certainly a challenge and it gets the better of all of us at certain times."
"That's T20 cricket. From our perspective, it's important to not be too reactive, to focus on our plans, go back to those," he said. "We know that when we're achieving those plans and building towards those, we're giving our best chance to win games. Sometimes you lose some. You want to win more, perhaps go back to the base level. When we stick to those plans, we know we're giving ourselves the best chance."

MI with close defeats
For Mumbai Indians, the record says one win from five when it could well have been five win in five. Two defeats have come on the last ball, one on the penultimate ball and then were denied with two balls left. They need to make key moments count to improve the record

Hello and Good Afternoon! We're working our way towards Match 23 in the IPL which features Mumbai Indians taking on Sunrisers Hyderabad. The hosts Mumbai started with three straight defeats before winning one but were once again beaten in Jaipur. They're seventh in the standings. On the other hand, SRH have done the complete opposite. They started with three consecutive wins but have since faced back-to-back defeats which puts them fourth in the standings. Their latest defeat coming against CSK despite a late push from Kane Williamson and Yusuf Pathan.

The last time Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians faced off, SRH came off victorious in thrilling fashion. With one run required on the last ball with nine wickets batsmen already dismissed, SRH faced a daunting task to get the win. But a lovely slog over mid-wicket by Billy Stanlake ensured the ball raced away to the boundary with all the fielders inside the circle to force a Super Over. Rashid Khan bagged the Man of the Match honours due to his highly economic bowling which saw 18 dot balls as he went for just 13 runs from four overs.
