The Mumbai Indians are currently facing challenges in shedding their reputation as slow starters. Following their second consecutive defeat in the IPL 2024 season, MI finds themselves at the bottom of the points table as the only team to have played at least two games without securing a win. Despite a close loss to the Gujarat Titans by a margin of six runs, there was hope that MI would capitalize on this performance and continue their dominance over the Sunrisers Hyderabad in head-to-head matchups.

In a stunning display of power hitting, the Sunrisers Hyderabad batters decimated the Mumbai Indians bowlers, achieving the highest total in IPL history. Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, and Heinrich Klaasen played pivotal roles in propelling Sunrisers to an impressive total of 277/3.

Despite Mumbai Indians' valiant efforts to challenge Sunrisers, they ultimately fell short by 31 runs. The match was filled with a total of 38 sixes, showcasing the ball being effortlessly dispatched to all corners of the ground. However, the most intriguing moment came after the match when former MI captain Rohit Sharma was seen engaged in a serious discussion with team owner Akash Ambani in the dugout.
