Mumbai, May 6: Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya elected to bowl first against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Match 55 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at Wankhede Stadium here on Monday.

Mumbai Indians made one change in their Playing XI, handing a debut to Anshul Kamboj, who comes in place of Gerald Coetzee.

Pandya said, "The wickets look fresh and might have something for the new ball. We want to make sure we use it. One change: Gerald misses out and Anshul Kamboj makes his debut," said Pandya during the toss.

Sunrisers Hyderabad too made a change, bringing in Mayank Agarwal into the playing XI to bat at No.3.

"We have got Mayank Agarwal back, batting at No.3. We have got four games left and probably need to win two to make it to the top four but we cannot think too far ahead. Too much blue in the stands and not much orange, it's going to be noisy, I think. Wankhede always has been like that," said Pat Cummins.

Playing XIs:

Mumbai Indians: Ishan Kishan (wk), Rohit Sharma, Naman Dhir, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya (c), Tim David, Anshul Kamboj, Piyush Chawla, Jasprit Bumrah, Nuwan Thushara.

by Hemanta Pande

New Delhi, May 19: Indian equity benchmarks logged positive returns last week. Sensex and Nifty closed the week with gains of 1.85 per cent and 2.03 per cent respectively.

In the last week, broader markets were in an uptrend. Nifty Midcap hit an all-time high at 11,347 and posted the biggest weekly gain in 8 months and Nifty's small-cap closed the week at 17,009 level. Nifty Realty and Nifty Metal hit a record high this week gaining 7 per cent each.

The outlook for the market will be guided by the major domestic and global economic data such as India PMI manufacturing data, India Service Data, UK CPI Inflation Data, US Initial Jobless Claims, S&P Global Services data, and S&P Global Manufacturing PMI and Q4 corporate results.

Also, US Fed Chair Jerome Powell is scheduled to deliver a speech on Monday (May 20), which is expected to further influence market sentiments.

As per market experts, "The release of PMI data for May from both the US and India next week will be closely monitored for further market insights. Amidst ongoing uncertainties surrounding election results and quarterly earnings, we anticipate continued volatility in the near term."

Pravesh Gour, Senior Technical Analyst at Swastika Investmart Ltd, said, "Nifty closed above its crucial 20-day moving average (DMA) at 22,300, hinting at a potential bullish trend. This positive momentum could push the index towards 22,525 and even 22,750 levels."

"On the downside, 22,300 will act as the immediate support level, followed by a 100-DMA of 22050. It's important to note that the market may experience volatility in both directions" he added.(IANS)
