Key Players from both teams
LSG-X Factors
Nicholas Pooran has gone about hitting fierce shots, being a consistent player, in making a statement of his worthiness in the IPL. Ahead of the next match, looking at the recent performances of overseas players, including Aiden Markram and Mitchell Marsh, indicates they will turn up with powerful shots as powerplay predators. Among finishers, Ayush Badoni has been stable throughout the tournament, and he is coming after a recent blazing half-century. Among all bowlers, Shardul Thakur and Avesh Khan are ace pacers who can add crucial wickets, while spinner Digvesh Rathi will be back with his trap.
SRH-X Factors
Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan are top-rated batsmen for Sunrisers Hyderabad as they were vocal with the bat in their recent innings. Australian destructive batter Travis Head has the potential to get back to form as he missed out on making it big in the last few knocks. In the middle order, Heinrich Klassen will lead to get quick runs across the whole ground, while Nitish Kumar Reddy has also given an ideal finish in previous games. Among all bowlers, Harshal Patel and Pat Cummins will be instrumental in picking up the correct line and length to get early breakthroughs and contain runs during the last few overs. Apart from them, Jaydev Unadkat, who picked up three dismissals in a recent match against Gujarat Titans, will be in the spotlight.
