MATCH DETAILS:

On 3rd November 2020, Sunrisers Hyderabad will go head to head against Mumbai Indians at Sharjah International Stadium, Sharjah in the 56th match (last league game) of the Indian Premier League.

In a contest which would decide the playoffs spot not just for SRH but even for teams like RCB, DC and KKR, this one is a game you can’t take your eyes off.

PREVIEW FOR DREAM11 FANTASY:

This is one of the biggest games SRH has played so far in the league. They are the only team who have made it to the playoffs every time since 2016 and would want to continue this enviable record. Expect players like David Warner, Rashid Khan to come up with all guns blazing.

X-Factor Players To Watch Out For:

  • Rashid Khan (SRH)
  • Quinton De Kock (MI)

WEATHER CONDITION:

The weather is predicted to be pleasant tomorrow. Wind velocity is expected to be around 18 km/hour. The daytime temperature is going to hit 32° C and the temperature is going to drop to 23° C at night. Humidity is expected to hover around 53%

PITCH REPORT:

Sharjah has been anything but a belter in the past few occasions wherein teams thinking to post in excess of 200 have failed to even score 150 at times, case in point being RCB who made a below par 120 odd against SRH in the last match played here.

If the pitch is similar to one which hosted SRH and RCB, expect another slugfest with team batting first bound to struggle against the sticky nature of the wicket, while team chasing would have the potential advantage of dew, if it makes an appearance. Rashid Khan, Krunal Pandya, Sandeep Sharma, and Jasprit Bumrah would like to exploit the two faced nature of the wicket while Warner and De Kock would be wanting to show how to go about proceedings on such a wicket.

INJURY AND AVAILABILITY NEWS:

Rohit Sharma is still nursing a hamstring injury and remains a doubtful starter for this game while Vijay Shankar for SRH has been ruled out of the tournament.
