Shikhar Dhawan, who has been amongst the runs so far in the tournament, is set to open the batting with wicket-keeper batsman Wriddhiman Saha, who unlike his opening partner, has had an indifferent start to the IPL 2018 season.

Skipper Kane Williamson will walk in at three to anchor the innings and would be followed by SRH's most expensive buy Manish Pandey. The Karnataka batsman has failed to get the ball rolling and has added only 15 runs in the three matches that he has played. If Pandey is to repay the faith shown in him by the SRH think-tank, he needs to be amongst the runs tonight.

The Williamson-Pandey duo will be followed by big-hitters in Deepak Hooda, Shakib Al Hasan and Yusuf Pathan. These three all-rounders have the responsibility of finishing the innings strongly for the Hyderabad-based franchise.

The bowling department will be spearheaded by India's best seam bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar, with Siddarth Kaul providing him able assistance from the other end. Afghanistan's Rashid Khan will lead the spin attack while Billy Stanlake would want to continue his wicket-taking form which has seen him bag five wickets in three matches.
