MATCH PREVIEW:
SUNRISERS HYDERABAD:
SRH may just might be tempted to play Jonny Bairstow in place of Kane Williamson, who might prove to be an enforcer in the middle order as compared to Williamson’s role of an accumulator.
If the pitch is similar to one they played against RCB, couple of days ago, they might well go ahead with Shahbaz Nadeem, else they would want to pick Khaleel Ahmed, who provides them a wicket taking option.
PROBABLE PLAYING XI:
David Warner (C), Wriddhiman Saha (WK), Manish Pandey, Kane Williamson, Priyam Garg/Vijay Shankar, Jason Holder, Abdul Samad, Rashid Khan, Shahbaz Nadeem, T Natarajan and Sandeep Sharma.
ROYAL CHALLENGERS BANGALORE:
They have done exceedingly well this tournament with their last match against CSK being a jarring exception. They would have in fact liked that one of their off-games has come prior to the play-offs and they would be looking to carry forward the winning momentum.
RCB would like to be more expressive with their batting and would love to capitalize during the middle overs where they have been far too conservative this season.
PROBABLE PLAYING XI:
Devdutt Padikkal, Josh Philippe (WK), Virat Kohli (C), AB de Villiers, Shivam Dube, Gurkeerat Singh, Washington Sundar, Chris Morris, Yuzvendra Chahal, Mohammed Siraj and Dale Steyn/Isuru Udana.
PITCH REPORT:
The last match at Sheikh Zayed Stadium ended in a Super Over, where the Knight Riders of Kolkata defeated the Hyderabad Sunrisers. During their 20 overs, both teams scored 163 runs. None of the batsmen could score half a century, while nine out of the eleven wickets that fell in the contest were picked up by the pace bowlers.
Before attacking the bowlers on this surface, the batsmen need to spend some time in the middle. Here are some of the vital stats you need to know from Abu Dhabi ‘s previous T20 games.
