Match Prediction:

Given the form Mumbai Indians are in and the level of motivation the team would have as they are the 1^st team to qualify for the playoffs Mumbai Indians would be a clear choice here to be the winners, however, going it is a do or die for SunRisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians could take some risks for the 1^st playoffs game and test some tactics, we are inclined to believe SRH will win today’s match but only by a slim margin.
