Match 56 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 has the Sunrisers Hyderabad taking on the Mumbai Indians at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Tuesday.
It has come down to the final day for the Sunrisers Hyderabad, who are currently in the bottom half of the table with their fate still in their hands. A win in Sharjah will take them through to yet another playoff appearance.
And although they have a stern test in front of them on Tuesday, they should be very proud of the way things have panned out for them in IPL 2020, especially with injuries to Vijay Shankar, Mitchell Marsh and spearhead Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
Despite the personnel concerns, David Warner and co have been utterly sensational this year with Kane Williamson and T Natarajan starring. They will be heavily reliant on Rashid Khan to do the damage yet again, with a win guaranteeing them the third spot on the IPL points table.
The odds of an SRH win are pretty high since their opponents, the Mumbai Indians, already assured of the top spot in the IPL points table. With nothing left to play for in the league stage except for momentum, the Mumbai Indians can afford to rest a couple of players such as Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult, who have been utterly sensational in this year's IPL. However, momentum could play a part heading into the knockouts, which might lure MI into fielding a strong side on Tuesday.
The reverse fixture between the two sides saw the Mumbai Indians thrash the Sunrisers Hyderabad at this very venue by 34 runs courtesy of a Trent Boult masterclass. However, Mumbai will be wary of the Sunrisers, who are in a do-or-die situation.
We should be in for a cracking end to what has been a highly entertaining IPL 2020 league phase.

Match Details
Match: Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Mumbai Indians, Match 56
Date: 3rd November 2020, at 7:30 PM IST
Venue: Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah
Pitch Report
Although Sharjah has a reputation for hosting high-scoring encounters given the dimensions of the ground, it hasn't been too batting-friendly of late.
The pacers should get the ball to move around early on. The spinners have also managed to do well at this venue recently, although they could be undone by dew in the latter half of the match.
The batsmen will have to make good use of the conditions upfront, with the pitch slowing down as the match progresses despite the dew. Wickets in hand will be key for both sides, with 160-170 being a decent total at this venue.
As previously mentioned, dew should play a big role in the proceedings, and this should prompt both teams to chase upon winning the toss in the final IPL 2020 league fixture.
