Latest stats and trends
- David Warner could just not get going in the last match finding fielder after fielder, shot after shot. After the match, he said “I take full responsibility for the way I batted, it was really slow. The way Manish batted was exceptional. Kane got us to a respectable total, but I take full responsibility. It gets frustrating as a batsman when you find the fielders.”
- Both teams are at the same price for this match 11/10*.
- The odds of another super over for SRH is 16/1*. They have had some very close matches so these could be interesting odds.
- SRH has only batted first once so far, in the defeat to CSK. They perform better batting second.

Match Prediction & Tips
Match Prediction: Sunrisers Hyderabad to win at 11/10*
We keep seeing SRH play well and still lose. The Royals are the ideal team to play in this situation. Through injury, they have been lacking the necessary firepower to put teams away and SRH can take advantage of that.
Warner cannot have as slow an innings as last time and the batting lineup are capable of putting on a big score if they do bet first. If they have to chase Warner and Bairstow are the perfect openers to chase a score down quickly (usually!).
- Pick 1: Rashid Khan over 1.5 wickets 11/10
Top bower for the team with 9 wickets so far up against a poor batting line up – this looks a good value pick to the Cricketics team.
- Pick 2: Warner and Samson both to hit 3+ fours 2.25
Both are in excellent form and can pick off poor balls to the boundary. This is good value at over evens.
