8. Final Match Prediction
Mumbai Indians clearly have the upper hand in terms of recent head-to-head and a more experienced core. However, SRH playing at home could tilt things in their favor, especially with their explosive top-order and a sharp pace attack led by Cummins and Shami. The clash between MI’s batters and SRH’s pace battery will be key.
Prediction: A tight match, but Sunrisers Hyderabad may edge it at home if they bowl first and restrict MI under 170.
