The toss will take place at 7 PM IST for the match between SRH and MI. Pat Cummins and Hardik Pandya will be out in the middle for the toss.

The venue has an average of 8.01 runs per over with the average score batting first being close to 160. The average runs per wicket is 25.93 at this ground, implying the bowlers also have a chance here. Being their home ground, the Sunrisers know the pitch very well and they hold the record of the highest runs scored in an innings here. Back in 2019, SRH scored 231 for 2 against RCB to achieve this feat. Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians too have happy memories of the ground as they have chased down 160 runs against the Hyderabad side here in 2013. This has been the highest successful chase at the venue so far.

The stadium has hosted 71 IPL matches so far – teams batting first have won 31 times while teams batting second have won 40 times. This means batting first has a 44 percent winning chance while batting second has a 56 percent winning rate. The data of the toss and win record is even more skewed at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. Teams that have won the toss have translated the same into winning the match only 25 times while 46 times teams that have lost the toss have won the match. Thus, losing the toss has a whopping 65 percent chance of winning the match as compared to a 35 percent chance of winning when a team has won the toss.

MI will again miss Suryakumar Yadav, among the most destructive batters in the shortest form of the game. He is also a doubtful starter for MI’s first home game, on April 1, when they will be hosting Rajasthan Royals at the Wankhede Stadium.
