IPL 2026: MI vs SRH, Match 41 at Wankhede Stadium - Stats & player battles to watch

Mumbai Indians (MI) come into the IPL 2026 fixture against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Wednesday (April 29) with a desperation to win. The five-time champions are languishing in the bottom half of the table and are unable to even find wins at home.

Skipper Hardik Pandya has not shied away from experimentation, and that has also reflected in the overall results. Mumbai urgently need a reset before they lose and concede control of their playoff hopes.

Meanwhile, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) seem to be riding a fresh wave of energy following the return of their designated captain Pat Cummins. The Aussie marked his comeback in the previous fixture against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in match 36 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. 

He was emphatic on return, conceding just 27 runs in four overs at an economy rate of 6.80 and picked up the wicket of his opposite number. Sunrisers are on a four-match-long winning streak and are favourites heading into this contest.
