In the 8th match of the Indian T20 League 2024, Hyderabad will face off against Mumbai in Hyderabad. This marks the first match hosted by Hyderabad in this season. Both teams have had a less than ideal start to their campaign so far. Hyderabad suffered a narrow defeat against Kolkata in their season opener, falling short by just four runs despite having them at 51/4 at one stage.
On the other hand, Mumbai lost their opening match against Gujarat by a mere six runs, despite dominating the game for the most part. Interestingly, Mumbai have been losing all their inaugural matches in the Indian T20 League since 2013.
