Rising Pune Supergiants (RPS) battle against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Match 40 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2016 at Visakhapatnam on Tuesday. This is a battle between a team chasing the top spot on the points table, and a team struggling to stay off the bottom. As such, SRH are the clear favourites, but as we have seen in the tournament so far, top ranked teams do not always prosper against the lower-ranked ones. Gujarat Lions (GL) are the prime examples for this; they lost 3 matches in a row while being table-toppers, but have recovered and are now again at the top of the table.

RPS beat SRH in their last encounter after an inspired spell from Dinda, so Warner and Co. will be wary of an encore. SRH are still the better team on current form and posses a good enough bowling attack to take out the RPS top order. Once that happens, RPS will be vulnerable. All the signs point to a thrilling match at Vizag.
