Rising Pune supergiants vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Match Preview :-
It will be the match n0. 40 of the tournament and after this only 16 matches will be remaining of the league stage. After that we will have top four teams of IPL 9 which will play the next round of the round. Now the League reached into the final round where all teams are fighting to get into the four teams on the Points table. But out of 8 teams only 4 will get the chance.
About Rising Pune supergiants :
The tournament is not going good for the new franchise RPS. They have played 10 matches so far and out of which lost 7 matches which kept team on the 7th position on the points table. One of the big reason for the defeats of the team is the regular injuries of their key players. All the big overseas players are ruled out of the tournament. Kevin Pietersen, Faf du Plessis, Mitchell Marsh and the last one was the Australian captain who recently scored century in the tournament Steven Smith are returned to their countries for further treatment.
RPS has signed two new players as a replacement of injured players as Australian opener who is recently selected for the World T20 2016 tournament Usman Khawaja and the Ex-captain of KXIP George Bailey. Both the batsman have played two matches in IPL 2016 but fail to give for what they are known for. Hope in the upcoming match against SRH they will bring victory to the team. The good thing for the team is the Ajinkya Rahane who is consistently scoring run for his team which helping them to put good runs on the board. He is currently on the 3rd position in the leading run scorer of the tournament list with 417 runs in 10 innings.
The bowling as well as batting of the team is struggling. In the last, the batting department done their work, scored 191 runs in 20 overs against RCB but the bowlers failed to defend such a big target which causes another lose to the team. RCB won that match by 7 wickets and Virat Kohli made his 2nd century of the tournament in the match and take his team home. RPS has to work hard on their bowlers so that Dhoni can pull out matches in the tense situation like previous one by showing his confidence in the bowlers. Hope in the upcoming match we will see good T20 cricket from them.
About Sunrisers Hyderabad :
SRH is one of the strongest team of the tournament and is on 2nd spot in the IPL Points table with 12 points. They have played 9 matches so far and out of which 6 matches in their bag. Captain David Warner in the ultimate form, scored 458 runs in 9 innings so far with 5 half centuries and is just behind Kohli in the IPL 2016 Orange Cap race. Now Yuvraj Singh also fit which will strengthen the batting side and will be playing the upcoming match against RPS. Bowling unit is the main power of SRH team. Experienced Ashish Nehra with Bhuvneshwar Kumar is performing extremely well and who can forget the young Bangladeshi bowler Mustafizur Rahman. He is very impressive with his swinging yorkers, took 13 wickets in 9 matches and currently on 4th spot in the Purple Cap race.
Another good thing for the team is that the Shikhar Dhawan is back in the form and in the last match against Mumbai Indians played 82 runs innings not out. So both the openers of SRH will be rocking from both end in the match and it will be very difficult for the RPS bowlers to tackle both the batsman.
Toss: A big Advantage:-
The team which will win the toss, will go for bowling first for sure. The trend in the tournament is like that and all the captains will follow it. In T20 cricket the thing is matter most is the target. In batting second batsman knows how to bat and at what time they have to accelerate the run rate. So in this match too we will see the captain who won the toss will go with the bowl first.

SRH Key Players :- Shikhar Dhawan, David Warner, Yuvraj Singh, Ashish Nehra, Mustafizur Rahman
