Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad IPL Match 2024: When Monday arrives, Mumbai Indians (MI) will likely find themselves either out of contention for the IPL 2024 playoffs or on the brink of elimination. With just three games left in the league phase, their best hope is to improve their position from the bottom of the table to a more respectable mid-table standing. This final stretch will also provide them with clarity on which players to retain and which to release ahead of the 2025 auction.
Meanwhile, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), their opponents on Monday night, have much more at stake. Currently occupying the fourth position after Sunday's matches, they are in a favorable position to secure a top-four finish, especially with three home games remaining after their clash with Mumbai Indians. However, the outcome of their recent narrow victory over Rajasthan Royals underscores how swiftly fortunes can change in cricket. Had the final ball of that match unfolded differently, SRH might now be facing doubts and setbacks after three consecutive defeats.
The outcome of such critical moments can profoundly impact the trajectory of entire seasons, particularly in the fiercely competitive playoff race. With only four games remaining, SRH will be focused on controlling what they can and hoping for favorable outcomes in the numerous decisive moments to maintain their playoff aspirations.

MI vs SRH Playing 11 Prediction
In their recent match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Rohit Sharma was Mumbai Indians' (MI) Impact Player. Despite concerns about his fitness, Rohit participated in batting sessions on both Saturday and Sunday without displaying any apparent discomfort. Naman Dhir confirmed during Sunday's press conference that Rohit was "fit and fine." If Rohit returns to full fitness, he is expected to reclaim his spot in the playing 11.
MI might also reassess their strategy of fielding only two overseas players. With Rohit likely to serve as a crucial impact substitute, they missed out on utilizing the skills of Mohammad Nabi, whose off-spin could have been beneficial on the pitch, or the power-hitting of Romario Shepherd.
In their previous game, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) made a notable change by dropping the out-of-form Aiden Markram and including the bowling all-rounder Marco Jansen. It's probable that SRH will stick with this overseas combination at the Wankhede Stadium. Their final bowling selection, whether it be Jaydev Unadkat, Umran Malik, or Mayank Markande, will likely depend on the prevailing conditions.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Probable 11: Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Anmolpreet Singh, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Abdul Samad, Shahbaz Ahmed, Marco Jansen, Pat Cummins (capt), Bhuvneshwar Kumar, T Natarajan, Jaydev Unadkat/Mayank Markande (12th Man)
