Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai hosts Mumbai Indians versus Sunrisers Hyderabad on the IPL 2026 schedule (Match 74, 7:30 PM IST first ball).
Pitch report: Wankhede Stadium traditionally plays as fast outfield, sea breeze helps swing in the powerplay. Expect 190 first-innings par, with openers and finishers split the fantasy load. MI's shape this season has revolved around Suryakumar Yadav setting the powerplay tempo and Jasprit Bumrah stripping the death overs. SRH run their innings through Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma, with Pat Cummins the fantasy differential.
For Dream11 captain, lead with Suryakumar Yadav — the form line is clean. Travis Head vice-captain. Rohit Sharma fills the differential slot for grand-league entries.
