In their second game against the KKR, the SRH batted first and put in a lowly target of 142 which was chased easily by KKR. The Mumbai Indians have had an absolute rollercoaster of a start to the season, a rollercoaster ride is what is associated with the Mumbai Indians nowadays to be honest as they can err from the extraordinary to the ordinary in the blink of an eye. In their first encounter, against the RPSG, they stuttered to a total of 121 which was easily chased down. They came back in style, chasing down a target of 187 set by the Knight Riders. In their most recent encounter, they lost a cliffhanger against newcomers Gujarat Lions where an inspired Aaron Finch powered his side to victory.

It’s insanely hot in Hyderabad right now. Adjectives cannot describe how hot it is. A maximum of 39 degrees Celsius is expected tomorrow, though it should be partly cloudy in the evening giving some respite to the bowlers. Pitch conditions -

Umesh Yadav and Morne Morkel extracted a lot of juice from the pitch in the previous match here. Expect similar conditions and the pitch should offer some assistance for the seamers, around 160 should be a par score.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Key players to watch out:

David Warner: The Aussie left-hander is an absolute pocker sized dynamo, his impact in this side cannot be understated. His runs at the top are essential to the Sunrisers posting a good total. His performances have taken an even greater importance that ever now, with form completely departing his opening partner Shikhar Dhawan.Eoin Morgan: The Irish left-handed batsman has finally discovered some form after a few disastrous months as the English T20 captain. His fifty against the KKR including 3 fours and 2 sixes came at just the right time for the Sunrisers and he shall look to carry on his form.

Mustafizur Rahman: The Sunrisers have in their arsenal one of the most exciting pacers in the world right now. The 20-year-old left arm pacer has been explosive recently. He was impressive in the match against RCB, conceding only 26 runs and picking up 2 wickets, when his team conceded 227. He followed that up with a tight performance against KKR. Key players for the

Mumbai Indians –

Rohit Sharma: Captain Rohit Sharma is the heart and soul of this Mumbai Indians outfit. When he fires, the team generally does well. It’s no coincidence that the MI won the one game in which he fired, powering them to a win over KKR with a 54 ball 84.Jos Buttler: Jos Buttler is so powerful. The very sight of him at the wicket sends shivers down the spines of opponents as he has seen his stock rise over the past few months. He too was devastating against the KKR. Will be key in the middle of the order.Mitch McClenaghan: The MI have pulled off a number of surprises with the batting order. Pandya at 3, Mitch once came in at 4 and absolutely murdered the ball. But it is with the ball that he’s doing the real damage with 6 wickets to his name so far.
