It will be a battle of survival for struggling Rising Pune Supergiants when they lock horns against formidable title-contenders Sunrisers Hyderabad in an Indian Premier League match in Visakhapatnam on Tuesday.
With just three wins out of 10 games, Pune is placed at a lowly sixth spot in the points table, while Hyderabad have been a dominating force in this edition with six wins and three losses to capture the second spot.
For Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his men, it has been a demoralising journey so far as apart from three wins against -- Mumbai Indians, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Delhi Daredevils -- they have failed to trouble other teams, losing four matches at their home ground in Pune itself.
Hyderabad, on the other hand, have been riding on a wave of success with their latest win being against two-time winner and defending champions Mumbai Indians by 85 runs last night at the ACA-VDCA stadium in Visakhapatnam.
The Sunrisers have been driven by the batting prowess of skipper David Warner, who is placed at the second position in top-scorers list with 458 runs with five fifties so far. Shikhar Dhawan too has taken the responsibility and complemented his captain in the opening slot.
The Supergiants have been affected by the lack of qualify bowlers, who can restrict the opponents. None of their bowlers figure in the top 15 wicket-takers list this season.
Hyderabad's bowling unit too have worked like a well-oiled machine with their formidable pace battery of Ashsish Nehra, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Bangladesh's Mustafizur Rahman and Barinder Sran doing the job for the team.
