Virtually out of the playoff race, Mumbai Indians will look to bounce back from a four-match losing streak when they host Sunrisers Hyderabad in match 55 of IPL 2024 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Monday (May 6).
Hardik Pandya-led MI come into the contest on the back of their eight defeat of the season, having gone down by 24 runs to Kolkata Knight Riders, while Pat Cummins’ SRH are fresh from a thrilling 1-run victory over table-toppers Rajasthan Royals.

In the most recent outing, MI failed to chase down 170 against KKR at the Wankhede Stadium after another top order collapse, while SRH defended 201 by restricting RR to 200 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.
MI and SRH have already crossed paths this season in a record-breaking match that saw Sunrisers register a 31-run victory at home, defending a then IPL record highest total of 277. Mumbai Indians, however, were not that faraway from the target, finishing at 246/5.
The five-time champions MI will face 2016 winners SRH for the 23rd time in IPL history, and for the eighth time at the home of the Mumbai Indians – Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
MI have had a slight advantage in this fixture over the years whether the match is played at home or away from home. SRH, meanwhile, have not done that well on their visits to Wankhede Stadium. Here is a look at the record and stats ahead of MI vs SRH IPL 2024 Match 55:
