The defending champions Mumbai Indians are virtually out of the playoffs race, however only math is keeping them alive in the tournament. Rohit Sharma-led MI need nothing less than a miracle to qualify for the playoffs, as Kolkata Knight Riders won their previous match against Rajasthan Royals with a big margin of 86-runs. Which not only helped them to increase their net-run-rate but also sealed their chances into playoffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the other hand,if, by any chance Mumbai Indians manages to beat Sunrisewrs Hyderabad in tonight\u2019s match by 170, or more runs, only then MI have a chance to qualify for playoffs. In the history of Indian Premier League (IPL), never have a team won more than 146 runs. Interestingly, Mumbai Indians is the team with the biggest win in terms of runs, when five-time champion beat Delhi Capitals by 146 runs in 2017. To qualify for the playoffs Mumbai Indians have to beat their own record, which is very unlikely against SRH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
