The Sunrisers and Mumbai Indians both are pretty good sides and have had some nice battles with each other in the past. They both are off to losing starts here after getting close in their respective games as well. With Sunrisers in particular, they came pretty close despite struggling with the ball and up front with the bat but will have a lot of belief after seeing how they fought back.

Venue: Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad
Hyderabad is usually pretty clear and dry at this time of the year. Dew too is unlikely given the dryness in air.
Hyderabad is usually pretty dry as well with its pitch and there are cracks that flow through the surface. Spin is expected to play a part and batting first is a better choice.

Hardik Pandya
Hardik Pandya was booed and criticized heavily by the Ahmedabad in the first game. His decision to hold himself back until number seven too was questionable. His first outing confirmed that there is significant pressure on him as the audience tries to understand his moves and his change in team.
Aiden Markram
Finding form quick is important for Aiden Markaram. He led the Sunrisers to two trophies in the SA20 but is falling down the pecking order in the IPL and will need to do something fast if he is to prevent himself from being swapped by the likes of Travis Head and Glenn Phillips.

Jasprit Bumrah vs Heinrich Klaasen: Jasprit Burma and Heinrich Klaasen, despite being regulars across formats have hardly faced off. Across games the battle is only 21 balls old indicating the freshness in a battle of two players who can determine the fortunes of their sides.
SRH did get close to KKR but their line-up still looks to be lacking. Mumbai though are close to their full line-up, and while they too have some confusions the line-up looks pretty solid.
