Dream11 Predictions
Wicketkeeper (Wriddhiman Saha, Ishan Kishan)

The left-hander would be expected to be among runs ahead of the impending T20 World Cup at the same venue. Wriddhiman Saha didn't open in Hyderabad's previous IPL game but the team management might assign him opening duties again against Mumbai. He has so far scored 129 runs in eight matches.

Bowlers (Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Nathan Coulter Nile, Jasprit Bumrah, Rashid Khan, Umran Malik)
