1. Teams News - Sunrisers Hyderabad
After taking a tough call to leave out the Jonny Bairstow from the playing 11, Sunrisers have managed to find balance. Wriddhiman Saha has made an instant impact as David Warner's opening partner and the inclusion of Jason Holder has given them an all-round option.
Pacers Holder and Sandeep Sharma were extremely impressive, both upfront and at the death.
Add left-arm pacer T Natarajan and Rashid Khan to their bowling attack, it makes up for a well-rounded attack.
Sunrisers are not just riding high on momentum, they are also a team, full of confidence, having outplayed Delhi Capitals and RCB in their previous two outings.
2. Team News - Mumbai Indians
In the absence of injured skipper Rohit Sharma, Mumbai Indians steamrolled RCB and Delhi Capitals in their previous encounters, becoming the first team to qualify for the play-offs.
Trent Boult and Jasprit Bumrah have looked menacing with the new ball and ever so frugal with the old.
Kieron Pollard has been impressive with his captaincy in Rohit's absence.
Already assured of the top spot in the points table, Mumbai Indians will be expected to put up another ruthless show against Sunrisers. The nature of surface in Sharjah has changed drastically with low-scores replacing 200-plus totals, which was the norm at the start of the tournament.
