Welcome to the coverage of the 10th match of the Indian Premier League between Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad in Mumbai on Wednesday.

Confidence bolstered after an inspirational run chase against Kolkata Knight Riders, a confident Mumbai Indians is ready to lock horns with defending champions Sunrisers Hyderabad.

It will be a battle of youngsters with the likes of Nitish Rana, Hardik Pandya on one side and the new star in the horizon Afghanistan leg-spinner Rashid Khan with his variations on the other side.

Known for their sluggish starts in previous editions, Mumbai Indians have logged home full points in their very second match thanks to Rana's half-century and brilliant cameo from Hardik Pandya.

This was after Hardik's elder brother Krunal put up an impressive performance with the ball grabbing three wickets.

However, the third game of the tournament will be the toughest one for Mumbai as they face an in-form Sunrisers squaring off after a couple of comprehensive victories in their previous encounters.

Mumbai would now be hoping that their regulars – Rohit, Pollard and Harbhajan – also hit the straps at the earliest.

Rohit would like to get a good score under the belt since he is coming back from injury and is playing top level cricket after a while. He got a harsh decision against KKR and his show of dissent earned him a reprimand also.

With Lasith Malinga improving in his latter spell after being off the boil in his first over, and Jasprit Bumrah around to bowl into the block-hole, Mumbai's death bowling looks sorted for now.

The hosts will have to confront a talented Mumbai line-up including a superb finisher like Yuvraj Singh.

The swashbuckler did not get to bat in the second game against Gujarat Lions, with captain David Warner and fellow- Australian all rounder Moises Henriques finishing the job of chasing a small total with aplomb.

David Warner's return to form will also have Mumbai worried.

The X-factor in the attack is Afghanistan leggie Rashid, who has bamboozled the batsmen in both matches and has already five scalps in his kitty.
