Mpumelelo Mbangwa and Michael Clarke during their pitch report: “The only way to describe it is batting paradise. It’s an absolute belter once again and has been for a long period of time. The only thing and I am clutching at straws, both ends it looks a little bit dry, there’s a tiny bit more grass in the middle of the wicket compared to the ends. I am hoping for a little bit of two-pace, a little bit of spin, so it’s not an absolute belter.”
Sunrisers Hyderabad: For the Pat Cummins-led side, the main focus would be on their spin attack. Adam Zampa and Rahul Chahar haven’t had the best of times in the tournament of late and how they perform on the flat tracks in Hyderabad could define the team’s season.
Out of the 77 matches played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, teams batting first have won 34 times, while teams chasing have won in 42 instances, with one match ending in a tie.
Rajasthan Royals: If you an RR fan, you are keeping your eye on how fit Sanju Samson is. We know he can’t keep wickets but has the injury affected his batting ability? And how’ll the stand-in skipper Riyan Parag do. He has been in excellent form in practice matches and would want to continue his run from last year.
SRH have gone head-to-head with the Rajasthan Royals 20 times in the IPL. SRH have won 11 matches whereas the 2008 winners RR have emerged victorious on nine occasions.
