Match 9 of the IPL 2021 will be played between the Mumbai Indians (MI) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Chepauk Stadium in Chennai on April 17 Saturday.
Both the teams have played 2 matches so far in this season of IPL. Sunrisers Hyderabad lost both of their matches while chasing. On the other hand, Mumbai Indians won their last game after a defeat in the first game.
MI vs SRH: Pitch Report & Toss Prediction
So far, 4 matches of IPL 2021 have already played in the same venue and both the team has played their 2-2 game here in Mumbai. The pitch has helped spinners in the latter half of the game and matches have been low scoring in this IPL edition at Chepauk Stadium. We expect 1 more low-scoring match, as both teams have top spinners.160+ runs will be a good total here to defend, but the team winning the toss will go for chasing as the dew factor can play an important role.
Toss Prediction- SRH will win the toss and choose to bowl first.
