The five-time Indian Premier League champions Mumbai Indians (MI) will take on the in-form Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) side in Match 41 of the IPL 2026 at the iconic Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on April 29.

The hosts are coming into the contest with a humiliating 103-run loss against arch-rivals Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and will be eager to come back to winning ways. On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad are on a winning streak, winning four of their last four matches. With the return of Pat Cummins, they are a formidable side.

SRH Predicted Playing XI vs MI

Top-order: Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan

The Hyderabad-based franchise has one of the most deadly top-three of the league with Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head opening the batting for them. Abhishek has been deadly this season, scoring runs at an express pace, giving his side blistering starts. Travis Head, though, will hope to find his lost touch back. Ishan Kishan will likely come in at number 3 and will continue to keep wickets as well.

Middle-order: Heinrich Klaasen, Salil Arora (WK), Aniket Verma, Nitish Kumar Reddy

Heinrich Klaasen will lead this middle-order with his immense form and experience. The South African has been their best batter in the middle-overs in this season and is giving them solid finishes. Klaasen remains a key to this batting side. Salil Arora can also keep wickets, although he has been inconsistent with the bat. Aniket Verma gives them a cushion in the finishing. Nitish Kumar has been exceptional, both as bowler and a batter.

Bowlers: Pat Cummins (C), Shivang Kumar, Sakib Hussain, Praful Hinge, Eshan Malinga

Their inspirational captain Pat Cummins made a triumphant return against Rajasthan Royals, bowling a brilliant spell with the ball. He gives them a good batting option as well. Shivang Kumar will lead this spin bowling department, and has been picking up wickets. Praful Hinge will be given the new ball responsibility, and is on the right track. Sakib Hussain will be the bowler to watch out for with his brilliant bowling. Eshan Malinga remains their premiere wicket taker.

Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Heinrich Klaasen, Salil Arora (WK), Aniket Verma, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Pat Cummins (C), Shivang Kumar, Sakib Hussain, Praful Hinge, Eshan Malinga
