Can <\/span>Mumbai Indians<\/a> bowlers contain Brook?<\/span>
HYDERABAD: Sunrisers Hyderabad<\/a> and Mumbai Indians have had identical starts to their campaign this season. Both teams lost their first two games before bouncing back to post back-to-back victories.
IPL 2023 SCHEDULE<\/a> | <\/span>IPL 2023 POINTS TABLE<\/a>
After being thrashed by Rajasthan Royals<\/a> at home and then losing miserably to LSG, SRH came back admirably against Punjab. An eight-wicket win at home was followed up with a 23-run win against KKR<\/a> at the Eden Gardens.
MI lost to RCB by eight wickets and then fell to CSK, but then beat Delhi by six wickets and KKR by five. Placed eighth and ninth on the points table, MI and SRH will be looking to get the much-needed two points to surge ahead. The hosts, however, look better placed as they have a more all-round game.
England batter Harry Brook showed why the Sunrisers had splurged Rs 13.25 crore on him. Against KKR, Brook (100*, 55b) powered to the first century of the IPL season.<\/p>\n

The team management’s decision to promote Brook to open has paid off as the England batter is more comfortable against the pacers. This was evident at Eden as he toyed with the pacers and bided his time against spin. It remains to be seen how Rohit Sharma<\/a>‘s men counter Brook and on it will hinge the fortunes of Mumbai Indians.<\/p>\n

IPL 2023: MI look to continue their winning momentum against SRH<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

<p>Bolstered by Suryakumar Yadav’s return to form, five-time champions Mumbai Indians will look to continue their winning momentum when they face a resurgent Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League in Hyderabad on Tuesday.<br \/><br \/><\/p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<p>Both MI and SRH are coming into Tuesday’s match after successive wins. They had started the tournament with identical back-to-back losses.<br \/><\/p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<p>On Sunday, Suryakumar snapped his wretched run of low scores, which included four ducks, with a quickfire 25-ball 43 as MI chased down 186 with 14 balls to spare for a comfortable five-wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders in Mumbai.<br \/><\/p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<p>If Suryakumar was sensational, opener Ishan Kishan looked ominous during his 25-ball 58 and the duo will look to produce the fireworks again when they take on the Sunrisers.<br \/><\/p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<p>MI, who had struggled in the first two games, are now looking a very balanced side with Tilak Verma also in good touch, while the dashing duo of Cameron Green and Tim David too producing the goods when it mattered the most.<br \/><\/p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<p>In the bowling department, the wily Piyush Chawla has brought all his experience to the fore and, alongwith young Hrithik Shokeen, has formed a formidable spin duo.<br \/><\/p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<p>However, MI’s pace unit lacks teeth without injured Jofra Archer. In his absence, Riley Meredith has shouldered the responsibility in the last two games that he has played but MI are yet to zero in on a settled pace unit having tried Jason Behrendorff the other day.<br \/><br \/><\/p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<p>Arjun Tendulkar and Duan Jansen too were handed IPL debuts on Sunday and it remains to be seen if MI persist with the duo.<br \/><\/p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<p>Sunrisers, on the other hand, found new heroes in Harry Brook and Abhishek Tripathi to record two victories in their last two matches. While Brook scored a 55-ball 100 against KKR, Tripathi slammed a 48-ball 74 against Punjab Kings.<br \/><br \/><\/p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<p>Captain Aiden Markram’s contribution in both the matches has been immense as he held the other end with scores of 50 and 37 in the last two matches.<br \/><\/p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<p>Among the bowlers, spinner Mayank Markande has been SRH’s highest wicket-taker with six wickets, while Umran Malik, Marco Jansen and Bhuvneshwar Kumar too have troubled the opposition.<br \/><\/p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

With skipper Aiden Markram (87) and Rahul Tripathi (117) also in good form, Sunrisers have thrived on their batting in the last two games. Heinrich Klaasen, who got to bat in just one game so far and scored an unbeaten 16, could pose a few problems for rival bowlers.
The only worry for the hosts on the batting front is the indifferent form of opener Mayank Agarwal, who has scored 65 in four games.<\/p>\n

\n
\"15\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The arrival of pacer Marco Jansen (4 wickets) has transformed the SRH attack. The lanky South African has teamed up well with Bhuvneshwar Kumar (3 wickets).
They have got early breakthroughs in the last two games. Added to it is the spin of Mayank Markande (6 wickets), who has been giving the rival batters some food for thought with his variations.
Mumbai Indians too have a formidable batting line-up. Hyderabad lad N Tilak Varma, Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma have been among the runs. Suryakumar Yadav<\/a>‘s knock against KKR on Sunday is significant as the India batter has been going through a tough phase. Starting with the Australia T20 series, ‘SKY’ has been facing a run drought. Therefore, the 25-ball 43 should restore confidence.<\/p>\n

\n
\"14\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

On the bowling front, Mumbai Indians have struggled to make an impact. Veteran leggie Piyush Chawla (5) has not only kept the rival batters quiet but is also the leading wicket-taker for his side.
MI will have a task on hand to contain Brook and the SRH batters, who would be keen to make use of home conditions and surge ahead of their rivals in the table.<\/p>\n
