The Sunrisers Hyderabad are showing a lot of dominance with the bat. They have a 277 and 287 under their belt and are looking eagerly at the 300 mark. Ahead of them is another bowling unit that has been taken for runs, having conceded 272 a couple of weeks ago. The Delhi Capitals, though, have also caused the lowest score of the season at 89 and are looking far better with Kuldeep Yadav in the attack. Yadav’s return has helped the unit, and how the Sunrisers take him on and how they manage to get a score against an improved and experienced bowling unit will be fun to watch.
A concern for them though is their own bowling unit. While Sunrisers have made the two highest scores in the tournament, they only managed wins by 30 and 20 odd runs on both occasions, indicating a massive gap in their bowling, which could be a concern going forward.
A factor that could help the Sunrisers though is the ground. Delhi, like Bengaluru, has small boundaries, and that could promote six-hitting yet again, keeping the muscular guys in the Hyderabad line-up in business and hopeful of breaking their record yet again.

Delhi is known to be good to bat on with small boundaries. It is a chasing ground, but their is the chance of some dryness which is also a feature of Delhi. The dryness could help with spin but small boundaries will continue to keep batters in business.

Jake Fraser-McGurk
Jake Fraser McGurk is seen as a talent to watch for the future. He has the potential to become a big name in the next 2-3 years and he is on his way for sure. He is off to a good start in the IPL and is looking very good early on and at ease in front of the Indian Crowd and on Indian Conditions.
Travis Head
Travis Head has another small ground and potential batting friendly surface ahead of him. He is muscling the ball really well and looks very scary to bowl to at the moment, giving his side a lot of momentum.

Heinrich Klaasen vs Kuldeep Yadav: Both Kuldeep Yadav and Heinrich Klaasen are at the top of their games at the moment. Klaasen loves spin and Kuldeep loves it when batters are coming at him. Their dual could be a very fun one to watch with the game likely to shift towards the winner of this particular battle.
The Sunrisers could be favorites with small boundaries supporting their style of play.
