Mumbai Indians will get one last chance to push their luck for the IPL 2026 playoffs when they host in-form Sunrisers Hyderabad at Wankhede Stadium on Wednesday, April 29. Sitting ninth in the points table after seven games, the five-time champions are in desperate need of two big points at their home ground in Mumbai.

Hardik Pandya-led side started the season by chasing down a 221-run target against KKR at Wankhede, but followed with four successive defeats. In their last match, Mumbai Indians suffered a record 103-run loss while chasing a 208-run target against rivals CSK at Wankhede Stadium.

Sunrisers Hyderabad, on the other hand, are flying high with five wins in eight games in IPL 2026. Pat Cummins’ side chased down a 229-run target against Rajasthan Royals in their last game, extending their winning streak to three matches.
