Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will be facing a wounded Mumbai Indians (MI) side in Match 7 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2018. The defending champions missed out on winning the IPL 2018 opener after Dwayne Bravo’s onslaught. On the other hand, SRH cruised towards victory after a brilliant bowling performance following Shikhar Dhawan’s unbeaten 77.

Kane Williamson’s first outing as SRH captain could not have been better. Now the Kiwi captain will be looking to convert it into a winning streak, playing at their home ground for the first time this season.

We ran a poll on our Facebook page to know which team is more favoured to win the match. According to fans, there is tough competition between the two teams with SRH edging past MI narrowly.

Here are the final poll results:

MI have two players who played for SRH in the previous edition of the IPL — Australian all-rounder Ben Cutting and Bangladeshi fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman. Opener Evin Lewis will be looking to make a mark as well after a horrible IPL debut when he became the first batsman to get out despite opting for Decision Review System (DRS).
