SRH VS KXIP MATCH DETAILS:
SERIES: Dream11 IPL, 2020 (SRH VS KXIP)
VENUE: Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai, UAE
DATE AND TIME: 8th October, 07:30 PM, IST.
SRH VS KXIP Preview:
Up next in the tournament, the Sunriers are set to meet King XI Punjab, who haven’t had a good tournament either. In fact, Kings XI Punjab have done worse than Sunrisers Hyderabad, and are placed at the bottom of the ladder. Although, there are still a good number of matches to go a loss here will push the losing team a bit more farther from the playoffs. Both teams will be desperate to get back to the winning ways and we expect them both to come hard at each other. A cracker of the contest is certainly on the cards. The match between the two sides is to be played at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai, on 8th October 2020.
Pitch Report:
Dubai International Stadium hosted a few IPL fixtures in 2014. In T20I matches played on this ground, the teams batting first have breached the 200-run landmark on multiple occasions. The UAE pitches have generally assisted the slower bowlers, but the track at the Dubai International Stadium has been good for batting as well. The highest first innings score at this venue has been 211, which was recorded by Sri Lanka in 2013 and the average run rate in T20I games at Dubai is 7.13. This beautiful ground would support a lot of turn in the ball, which means spinners will be able to ace the surface quite easily.

SRH VS KXIP SUPER 9:
Top Picks:
- Rashid Khan
On the number one spot we have SRH’s best spinner Rashid Khan. The current Afghanistan player was crowned the youngest emerging player 2 years ago for his impressive spin bowling. He is all set to turn SRH’s fortune this year.
2. David Warner
On number 2 we have the captain of the Sunrisers Hyderabad, David Warner who will be opening the innings. He is a classy batsmen and can hit extremely good shots all over the ground. We expect some good and matured captaincy from this big man this year too.
3. Glenn Maxwell
On number three stands the tall man Glenn Maxwell. Maxwell has got very few opportunities to bat for his team, as the entire job is carried over by the openers itself. Maxwell has hit the ball well until now, of the very few chances that he has got. He has been handed over the ball in the bowling section as well, and has never failed to impress there too.
Captain Choices:
- KL Rahul
In this section the top choice would be the Kings XI skipper KL Rahul. The present captain recently created a record breaking innings of 132 against RCB, making him the highest individual run scorer among Indians. The other two match that he played also averages more than 50, making him the owner of the orange cap.
2. Mayank Agarwal
On number two stands the opener and Karnataka player Mayank Agarwal. The right handed batsmen proved his credits in his very first match when he brought his team to inch the taste of victory by his 90. He is also the first centurion of the IPL 2020. Therefore he is player to watch out for amongst the flocks.
3. Kane Williamson
On number 3 we have the former SRH captain Kane Williamson. SRH’s fate changed only after the arrival of Kane this year. This player indeed provides a balance to the team, as they have found difficulty in the batting order.
Budget Picks:
1. Ravi Bishnoi
On number one we have the spin bowler Ravi Bishnoi (8 credits). The 19 year old youngster has managed to take 4 wickets out of the 3 matches played with a best bowling figures of 3/32. This emerging player will surely look to grab the eyes of many unless he stops bowling a lot of wide deliveries.
2. Manish Pandey
On number 2 we have Manish Pandey (9 credits), who is a very valuable player with a very reasonable credit amount for his extraordinary skills. He was out of form for a few days, but once he gets started no one can stop him. He is on top priority for this match.
3. Sarfaraz Khan
On number 3 we have the youngster Sarfaraz (8 credits), who is a specialist in unorthodox and reverse shots. This player is indeed dangerous at times and has the gut to face even the fastest bowlers in the world.
