The Afghan spinner continued his fine form in the next game as well taking the big wickets of AB de Villiers and Washington Sundar and gave away just 18 runs in his quota of four overs against Royal Challengers Bangalore.

MI vs SRH IPL 2021 Match Day

After a brilliant victory in their last game, Mumbai Indians are likely to retain the same winning combination in this match but they can include an extra spinner who will be very useful on the Chepauk wicket. On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad will want to play Kane Williamson in that fidgety batting line-up but unfortunately, they are out of options in the choice of first four overseas players in the XI.
