Key match-ups, analysis, form, team news, weather forecast, tickets, TV and streaming information, odds, predictions and more ahead of the latest encounter in the 2023 IPL

What's the match?

Mumbai Indians take on Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 2023 Indian Premier League.

When is it taking place?

The match is scheduled to start at 3.30pm local time (11am BST) on Sunday, May 21.

Where is the match being played?

The match will be played at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

Who's got form?

Both sides come into this match on the back of defeats and will be looking to finish the IPL regular season with a return to winning ways.

Mumbai Indians find themselves right in the middle of a highly congested IPL mid table and currently sit sixth, level on points with fourth-placed RCB and fifth-placed Rajasthan Royals but with an inferior net run rate.

This makes this game an absolute must-win for the Indians, who lost to Lucknow Super Giants by five runs in their most recent outing. The Indians failed to reach LSG's target of 177 as they adopted a mistakenly cautious approach with the bat in the middle overs, leaving them too much to do in the final few overs.

Sunrisers Hyderabad currently sit bottom of the IPL table and have had another season to forget. They fell victim to some excellent second innings batting by Virat Kohli (100 from 63) and Faf du Plessis (71 from 47) last time out against Royal Challengers Bangalore - Heinrich Klaasen (104 off 51) scored a century in vain for Sunrisers. Can they finish the season on a high or will they bow out on a four-match losing streak?

What's the team news?

Harry Brook returned to the Sunrisers' XI for their defeat against RCB and played a good supporting role for Klaasen, ending up on 27 not out from 19 balls. He is available for selection again in this game.

Mumbai Indians have used Vishnu Vinod as an impact player in their past two games and may look to him to provide extra support for their middle order in this game.

What's the key matchup?

A key matchup in this game could be Mumbai's spin bowling to Klaasen. While commentating on Sunrisers versus RCB, Kevin Pietersen expressed his opinion that Klaasen was the "best player of spin in the world".

If we take Pietersen's word as gospel, then Indians spinners Piyush Chawla and Hrithik Shokeen will have their work cut out as they attempt to limit the expansive South African hitter.
