SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) will host Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the IPL 2020 clash at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday. SRH are currently seated on third points in the IPL 2020 points table with three wins and as many loses to their name while Rajasthan Royals are at the bottom.

SRH will be high on confidence as their premier openers David Warner and Jonny Bairstow got their team off to a good start in the previous game. Manish Pandey will be a key at the top of the order along side Kane Williamson. SRH fast bowler T Natarajan has shown his brilliance in IPL 2020 and will look to continue in similar manner. Khaleel Ahmed and Sandeep Sharma will also look to make the best of their opportunities.

Australia opener David Warner is a prolific batsman to have at the top of the order. He had played some match-winning knocks for SRH in the previous edition of the IPL and will look to continue from where he left. Warner is a destructive batsman at the top of the order and if he unleashes himself then SRH can put up big totals on board.

He showed his batting prowess in the match against CSK as he notched up an unbeaten 51 off 26 deliveries to help his side reach a defendable total. His knock was laced with six boundaries and one hit over the fence. SRH will hope Garg continues to play such cameo in the middle-order in the upcoming matches.

Young Abhishek Sharma has turned out to be handy for SRH. He can play cameo knock and can also prove to be handy with the ball. Sharma scored 31 runs off 24 deliveries in the match against CSK. If he can also pick up wickets it can come really handy for the side.

Groomed by player-cum-coach Irfan Pathan, scouted by VVS Laxman, hard-hitting batsman Abdul Samad became the third player from Jammu and Kashmir to feature in the Indian Premier League with his SunRisers Hyderabad debut. Parvez Rasool and Rasikh Salam were the first-two players in that order to feature in the IPL while Manzoor Dar never got a game. He is a bright prospect and can work in the role of a finisher for SRH.
