What's the match?

Sunrisers Hyderabad are taking on Mumbai Indians in the 2023 IPL.

When is it taking place?

The match is scheduled to start at 7.30pm local time (3pm BST) on Tuesday, April 18.

Where is the match being played?

The game will be played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.

Who's got form?

Well, as it happens, both. After two-match losing streaks to start the campaign, both Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians have won their last two.

Harry Brook announced himself in the Indian Premier League with a sensational century in his last outing, and Mumbai will be hoping to negate his threat early in the Sunrisers innings.

What's the team news?

All eyes will be on the teamsheet prior to the start to see whether or not Jofra Archer is fit enough to feature.

Archer has missed the last two matches with a flareup of the elbow problem which has plagued much of his recent career. England fans will be hoping Mumbai don't jump the gun and include him too soon.

That said, Mumbai have won each of the two games he has missed. 

Sunrisers are likely to continue with spinner Mayank Markande in front of Adil Rashid. Markande's inclusion allows Sunrisers to be a little more aggressive in their overseas selections.

What's the key matchup?

Brook has been elevated to open the innings by Sunrisers Hyderabad, and showed in his explosive unbeaten century against Kolkata Knight Riders just how devastating he can be.

Mumbai Indians will be keen to see him off early before he gets into his stride - Brook made 13, 3 and 13 in the IPL this year prior to his recent ton.

There's the potential for a brother versus brother duel elsewhere in this one, with Marco and Duan Jansen on opposing squads.
