Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)

 

Sunrisers Hyderabad are already eliminated from the tournament and now will look to end LSG's chances as well. The team will once again depend on their top order to perform. Travis Head is unavailable for the match due to COVID-19. A lot will depend on Abhishek Sharma once again. In the bowling department, Pat Cummins will have to step up and lead from the front.

 

Key Players of SRH: Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan

 

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG)

 

Lucknow Super Giants are on the brink of elimination after losing four of their last five matches. They must win all three remaining games and hope other results go their way. Rishabh Pant and David Miller have struggled with form, leaving Abdul Samad and Ayush Badoni to do the finishing.

 

In the bowling department, uncapped spinner Digvesh Rathi has been the only bright spot in an otherwise forgettable campaign. Notably, New Zealand fast bowler Will O'Rourke has replaced Mayank Yadav.

 

Key LSG Players: Shardul Thakur, Ayush Badoni
