Teams:

Sunrisers Hyderabad: David Warner (C), Shikhar Dhawan, Deepak Hooda, Yuvraj Singh, Moises Henriques, Naman Ojha (wk), Ben Cutting, Bipul Sharma, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Barinder Sran, Mustafizur Rahman.

Kolkata Knight Riders: Robin Uthappa (wk), Gautam Gambhir (C), Colin Munro, Manish Pandey, Yusuf Pathan, Suryakumar Yadav, Rajagopal Sathish, Jason Holder, Sunil Narine, Kuldeep Yadav, Morne Morkel.

TOSS: Gautam Gambhir wins the toss and decides that KKR will field first. Both teams make a couple of changes. For KKR, Morne Morkel and Rajagopal Sathish replace Shakib Al Hasan and Ankit Rajpoot. Meanwhile for SRH Ben Cutting and Bipul Sharma come in ahead of Kane Williamson and Karn Sharma.

Both SRH and KKR have been blowing hot and cold this season, and it remains to be seen how well they have ironed out their flaws ahead of this game. Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are already without the services of Ashish Nehra, who has already undergone a knee surgery in London.

On the other hand, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are still sweating over the fitness of their West Indian all-rounder Andre Russell, who remains a key figure in their team combination. The Knight Riders are expected to boost their pace bowling by including Shaun Tait, but it is unlikely that the ‘wild thing’ will get a game, owing to his inconsistency and knack of bowling wayward.

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) finished third in the IPL 2016 Points Table. They have been a formidable side, but batting depth remains to be a worry. KKR, who have won IPL tournaments in past two times, had to win their last match in the league round — against SRH itself — to ensure they end up in the final four.

Squads:

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH): Ashish Reddy, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Bipul Sharma, Karn Sharma, KL Rahul, Naman Ojha (wk), Parvez Rasool, Ricky Bhui, Shikhar Dhawan, Siddharth Kaul, David Warner (c), Moises Henriques, Eoin Morgan, Kane Williamson, Trent Boult, Yuvraj Singh, Ashish Nehra, Deepak Hooda, Mustafizur Rahman, Aditya Tare (wk), Barinder Singh Sran, Ben Cutting, Vijay Shankar, Abhimanyu Mithun, Tirumalsetti Suman.

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR): Gautam Gambhir (c), Kuldeep Yadav, Manish Pandey, Piyush Chawla, Robin Uthappa (wk), Sheldon Jackson (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Umesh Yadav, Yusuf Pathan, Sunil Narine, Andre Russell, Brad Hogg, Chris Lynn, Morne Morkel, Shakib Al Hasan. Jaydev Unadkat, Ankit Singh Rajpoot, Shaun Tait, Jason Holder, Colin Munro, Rajgopal Sathish, Manan Ajay Sharma.
