The eighth match of IPL 2024 will be played between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. Both teams are yet to open their account in IPL 2024. In their first match of the ongoing season, both teams have suffered defeat. Mumbai lost by 6 runs in a thrilling match against Gujarat, while Sunrisers Hyderabad lost by 4 runs in a close match against Kolkata Knight Riders. In the points table, Sunrisers' team is in seventh place, while Mumbai's team is in eighth place.
