Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) Probable XI
- Travis Head

- Heinrich Klaasen (WK)
- Kamindu Mendis
- Jaidev Unadkat
- Pat Cummins (C)

Team Strategy: SRH continued to play inconsistent cricket as they suffered a 38-run loss against GT, and their bowlers didn’t have a good day. In batting, Ishan Kishan’s form is a cause of worry.
Team News: The Sunrisers would be tempted to give a break to Shami, who proved to be expensive in the last game.

- Faf Du Plessis
- KL Rahul
- Axar Patel (c)
- Karun Nair
- Tristan Stubbs
- Ashutosh Sharma
- Vipraj Nigam

Team Strategy: With two losses on the trot, DC slowly slipped out of the top 4 and is in a must-win situation. Their batting sans Faf du Plessis didn’t step up for the 2nd time in a row.
