Both the teams will battle it out for the second time in this season; the Sunrisers emerged victorious by five wickets in their previous meeting.

Sunrisers Hyderabad was the most balanced team on paper, but their recent slump performances have exploited their batting woes. Apart from David Warner and Jonny Bairstow, no other batsmen have been up to the mark for the SRH.

Dhawan got the Man of the Match for his excellent knock of 97. They would eye eyeing another victory away from home when they face Hyderabad.
