The Hyderabad pitch usually favors bowlers. While it helps seamers at the opening, the wicket slows down and favors spinners in the later part.
How do the teams stack up?
Sunrisers Hyderabad
Alex Hales who opened the batting has justified his selection with a brilliant knock against Rajasthan. Shikhar Dhawan’s form has been substandard following his injury. But skipper Kane Willaimson manages to compensate for Dhawan’s form. The middle order is faltering with poor shots of Manish Pandey, Wriddhiman Saha. Yusuf Pathan and Shakib Al Hasan are decent with the bat but fail to finish with a big score. Bowling has been SRH’s biggest advantage since the start of the tournament. Bhuvaneshwar Kumar is expected to return after recovery.
SRH Probable Final Playing 11:
Shikhar Dhawan, Alex Hales, Kane Williamson (C), Manish Pandey, Shakib Al Hasan, Yusuf Pathan, Wriddhiman Saha (WK), Rashid Khan, Siddharth Kaul, Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, Sandeep Sharma
Players to watch out for: Kane Williamson, Sandeep Sharma, Siddharth Kaul
Delhi Daredevils
The young trio of DD – Prithivi Shaw, Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant has been Delhi’s strengths in the last couple of matches. Colin Munro and Glenn Maxwell have been inconsistent with the bat. Vijay Shankar’s performance in the middle order is comforting but he needs to sustain longer on field. Trent Boult has been good with the ball, especially at the death overs. But other bowlers like Liam Plunkett and Avesh Khan need to step up and stop conceding runs. The playing XI of Delhi is likely to remain the same.
DD Probable Final Playing 11:
Prithvi Shaw, Colin Munro, Shreyas Iyer (c), Rishabh Pant (wk), Glenn Maxwell, Vijay Shankar, Liam Plunkett, Amit Mishra, Avesh Khan, Shahbaz Nadeem, Trent Boult
Players to watch out for: Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer, Trent Boult
