Their start was similar to that of Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) but Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have pulled it back. After suffering two defeats in the first two games, SRH won two back-to-back games and now will play the depleted KXIP side. KXIP have lost three and won their match against the strong Pune side.

While KXIP have not really clicked as a team, SRH has heavily relied on their skipper David Warner to bail them out. Warner has won the toss and as expected, have elected to field. They have not made any changes to the side that saw them triumph over Gujarat Lions (GL) at Rajkot. Meanwhile, KXIP have dropped the out of form Wriddhiman Saha and have gone with Nikhil Naik.

8 times Warner has got to a 50 in 25 or fewer balls in IPL – most by any batsman. Sehwag and AB de Villiers have done it 6 times each. — Bharath Seervi (@SeerviBharath) April 23, 2016

Warner has overtaken AB de Villiers to claim second spot on leading run scorers list. Needs 9 more runs to claim top spot #SRHvKXIP — The Cricket Prof. (@CricProf) April 23, 2016
Woah! David Warner Just Smoked Sandeep Sharma For 18 Runs.#SRHvKXIP #KXIPvSRH #IPL2016 #IPL9 — Sir Ravindra Jadeja (@SirJadeja) April 23, 2016
Sandeep Sharma is one more of the bowlers who depends on swing and track. If no swing, very easy to line him up. — Nikhil (@CricCrazyNIKS) April 23, 2016
Any team playing against @SunRisers gets only 16 overs to bat, cos Mustafizur’s 4 over spell is just unplayable #SRHvKXIP — Mo Mo (@LumzanMo) April 23, 2016
