Smarting from back-to-back reverses, Gujarat Lions will have their task cut out when they lock horns with Sunrisers Hyderabad who are expecting their star all-rounder Yuvraj Singh to feature in the playing XI, in the Indian Premier League in Hyderabad on Friday.
After suffering early setbacks, Sunrisers Hyderabad made a quick turnaround with both their batting and bowling clicking together. Captain David Warner has been one of the top run getters in the tournament and his opening partner Shikhar Dhawan also came up with substantial scores after being out of form initially.
Starting with a string of victories, Gujarat Lions have hit a roadblock as they suffered defeats at the hands of laggards Kings XI Punjab and Delhi Daredevils in their last two outings at home. The debutants would hope playing away from home would bring some luck as the Suresh Raina-led side seek to revive its campaign. Sunrisers Hyderabad are coming off a 15-run win over Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Warner's superb 92 off 50 balls led SRH to victory in their last match against RCB. Kane Williamson, skipper of New Zealand team, joined the side after recovering from an injury. He announced his arrival with a valuable 50 off 38 balls in the match against RCB.
The Lions are placed second in the points table with six wins from nine appearances, while Sunrisers Hyderabad are occupying the fifth position with four victories. SRH enjoy a psychological advantage as they won against Gujarat Lions by a comprehensive 10 wickets in their previous meeting on April 21.
Yuvraj is yet to play in a single game this IPL since being ruled out after suffering an injury in the World T20 match against Australia. Yuvraj had earlier hoped to join the team for the match tomorrow and he is already in the city.
