SRH earlier won the toss and elected to bat. While KXIP opted to keep their playing eleven unchanged from their previous game against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), SRH decided to make three changes, getting Trent Boult, KL Rahul and Bipul Sharma in place of Ravi Bopara, Praveen Kumar and Parvez Rasool. While SRH aim to keep their hopes of qualifying for the playoffs alive with a win, KXIP will be happy to settle for a consolation victory after being eliminated from the ongoing tournament with nine defeats from 11 games.
