Team news:
Sunrisers Hyderabad — The only concern they have is Bhuvaneshwar Kumar's injury.
Though, the services of the other Indian pacers saved the day for them in Mumbai a few days back. Mohammad Nabi can make way for Carlos Braithwaith.
Kings XI Punjab — Gayle is likely to return having missed the game against Delhi. Rest of the side looks balanced and is likely to be unchanged. David Miller or Aaron Finch might be omitted to accommodate Chris Gayle.
Matchday 💪

Pitch report:
It might be on the slower side as the new ball will be difficult to hit. Post the 10th over, runs can come quick and fast.
Weather:
Summer has completely arrived in Hyderabad so it will be a hot day for the boys in the field. No chances of rain.
