Welcome to the coverage of the 23rd match of the Indian Premier League between Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad, at the Wankhede stadium, in Mumbai, on Saturday.

Pushed to the bottom of the table following their fifth defeat in six outings, former champions Mumbai Indians will look to keep their chances alive when they face a resurgent Sunrisers Hyderabad in a crucial IPL game.

The bright spot for Mumbai Indians in an otherwise gloomy bowling scenario is the generally good show put up by their key men -- Lasith Malinga and Harbhajan Singh -- after a dismal start against defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders on April 8.

It's in finding the other bowlers to share the workload that Mumbai, looking for their first win at home this season after making it their fortress last year, have yet to get it right. There are issues with the seam attack after the pull-out of Australia's Josh Hazlewood.

New Zealander Mitchell McClenaghan, who has been given the all-rounder's slot off late has impressed only in patches.

Meanwhile, Corey Anderson, another Kiwi in the squad, has been ruled out of the tournament with a finger injury.

The batting looks in better shape with Rohit leading the charge, but could also look to improve instead of relying mostly on one man in big run-chases.

Hyderabad have also not exactly set the league on fire and have issues over their batting.

With two half-century partnerships and a century stand in the games that they won or nearly won (against Daredevils), openers Shikhar Dhawan and captain David Warner have been the stand-out performers for Sunrisers Hyderabad.

The duo, though, haven't been supported enough by the middle order, where Ravi Bopara, Kane Williamson, Ashish Reddy, Lokesh Rahul and Naman Ojha have been patchy, at best.

The Sunrisers have a potent bowling attack, even though South Africa's pace spearhead Dale Steyn, who replaced New Zealand left-armer Trent Boult in the last two games, is yet to fire on all cylinders.

Bhuvaneshwar Kumar and his senior UP colleague Praveen Kumar have also been just about adequate up front, but both frontline spinners Karn Sharma and Parvez Rasool have struggled for wickets so far.
