IPL 2021: MI vs SRH: Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Picks

Mumbai Indians have had a mixed start to their campaign.

The defending champions lost the season opener against Royal Challengers Bangalore.

For most of the match against Kolkata Knight Riders, Mumbai was on the backfoot. Andre Russell's spectacular fifer in just two overs rattled their batting unit. Nitish Rana and Shubman Gill gave KKR a great start during the run-chase, however, MI managed to pull themselves back into the game with some superb death bowling performances.

They ended up winning a game that seemed lost by 10 runs.

Sunrisers Hyderabad, on the other hand, has had a horrible start to their season, losing both the opening fixtures.

SRH were defeated by KKR in the first match. In the second game against RCB, Sunrisers looked to be on top and were on course to getting to their first win of the tournament before their batting order crumbled again.

Here is our Dream 11 Fantasy line-up for your ready reference.
