Although Mumbai can still make the playoffs mathematically, the chances look bleak. They languish at the bottom of the points table with six points from 11 matches.
Meanwhile, Hyderabad are at fourth place with 12 points from 10 games and are well within reach of qualifying for the top four.
Anticipation surrounds the Wankhede pitch's behavior, with potential hints of spin-friendly conditions challenging the conventional high-scoring norms, setting the stage for tactical adaptations.
Bhvneshwar Kumar has been going at more than 13 an over in the death overs.
It was largely due to a stroke of luck that Rovman Powell missed a full toss to hand SunRisers Hyderabad a one-run victory in the SRH's previous game.
The win underscores the unpredictability or, as they say, the funny nature of the Twenty20 format. The Royals needed 12 runs off the last over, and two off the last ball.
That win may have put their campaign back on the rails. Still, SRH has been one of the standout sides this season with their explosive openers - Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma - setting the stage on fire and the fast bowling unit, led by Pat Cummins, working like an optimally functioning apparatus.
The best feature yet has been the inspiring captaincy of Cummins, who has managed to handle the young Indian players efficiently.
