AHMEDABAD: Buoyed by their 31-run triumph over MI in Hyderabad, SRH into their clash against GT — who are smarting from their 63-run defeat to CSK looking for an encore.
Pat Cummins, who is also the Sunrisers skipper, and opener Travis Head have fond memories of their last visit to this stadium, when Australia won the ODI World Cup.
The hosts, without the injured Mohammed Shami, look bereft of ideas in the bowling department.They leaked 206 against CSK and could only manage 143 in reply. Titans might look to shore up the batting by including Kane Williamson this time around.

Veteran pacer Umesh Yadav’s predictable length has made him easy fodder while left-arm pacer Spencer Johnson too has been found wanting. Afghan allrounder Azmatullah Omarzai has found swing with the new ball but opposition batters have negated him with ease.
The Titans might opt for either of left-arm wrist spinner Noor Ahmad or Irish leftarm pacer Josh Little in their lineup but it will come at the cost of another foreign player.
The Sunrisers’ bowling, led by Cummins, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, T Natarajan, Umran Malik and leg-spinner Mayank Markande, will look to cause some damage. As for the batting, Head, Abhishek Sharma, Markram and Klassen are a formidable lineup.
