Here are three player battles to watch out for during SRH vs MI match:
1) Harry Brook vs Jofra Archer
Two of English cricket’s finest talents, Harry Brook and Jofra Archer, will face each other in what promises to be a mouth-watering contest. Brook’s terrific IPL 2023 debut included a cautious approach against spin but an aggressive attack on pace bowling. Mumbai missed Archer’s services for three consecutive games, but he is set to play against SRH. Archer’s pace and variations are sure to keep Brook on his toes, making this duel an interesting one to watch.
2) Aiden Markram vs Piyush Chawla
Aiden Markram has been instrumental in the SRH’s comeback this season, counterattacked spinners in both their wins. He is one of the rare overseas batters who play spin fluently. In this game, he’ll be the X-factor for SRH, especially in the middle overs, against IPL veteran Piyush Chawla, who has been MI’s impact bowler this season. Chawla has managed to outsmart batters of all types, making it critical for him to stop Markram in his tracks.
3) Suryakumar Yadav vs Marco Jansen
The world’s number 1 T20I batter, Suryakumar Yadav, found some form in the game against KKR, spending considerable time in the middle, which should aid him in this contest. He is one of the most effortless batters in the game, and he will fancy his chances against the tall left-arm pace of Marco Jansen. Jansen decisively pulled the game in his team’s favour against KKR, making their battle a highly anticipated and exciting one.
