Here's how the SRH team may possibly line up for the match:
Batting
Skipper David Warner's sublime form with the bat has been one of the major reasons behind Hyderabad's success in the 2016 IPL. The southpaw has hammered 640 runs in 13 innings at an average of 58.18 and a smashing strike rate of more than 152. His partner at the top of the order, Shikhar Dhawan, has also struck form in this season with a tally of 412 runs in 13 matches till now.
Yuvraj Singh, who made his debut for SRH this year after returning from an ankle injury, has been in decent touch for his 127 runs which include a top score of 42 from 24 balls against KXIP. Kane Williamson played 5 matches but managed to score just 117 runs at an average of just over 23. Eoin Morgan has had a pretty dismal season with the bat and so have wicket-keeper batsman Naman Ojha and Deepak Hooda.
All-rounders
Moises Henriques is the only all-rounder to have made some kind of impact for the Sunrisers in the ongoing IPL. The Australian has scored over 100 runs and claimed 10 wickets in the 13 matches that he has appeared in. Yuvraj and Hooda have not been utilised much as all-rounders whereas others like Ashish Reddy and Bipul Sharma failed to create an impression.
Bowling
The strongest aspect for Sunrisers Hyderabad has been their exemplary bowling with Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mustafizur Rahman leading the charge. Kumar has rediscovered his mojo this year with 16 wickets in the tournament. On the other hand, young Rahman has enhanced his reputation with 15 wickets at an economy rate of under 7.
Veteran pacer Ashish Nehra was having a good season, too, with 9 wickets in his kitty but he was unfortunate to be ruled out due to injury. Indian pacer Barinder Sran has done a commendable job, having claimed 11 wickets in 10 matches. Henriques has also proved to be a great support bowler for the frontline pacers.
Probable Playing XI
David Warner (c), Shikhar Dhawan, Kane Williamson, Yuvraj Singh, Moises Henriques, Deepak Hooda, Naman Ojha (wk), Karn Sharma, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Barinder Sran, Mustafizur Rahman.
