We look at 5 players who could have the maximum impact in the match.

  1. Sanju Samson (RR) Sanju Samson gave two Player of the Match performances in this IPL in RR’s victories at Sharjah but has failed in the last four matches registering single-digit scores in all these encounters. He has a weakness against the short ball. Can he overcome it and show his prowess once again?

  1. Steven Smith (RR) Like Samson, Smith gave two stellar performances in Sharjah – a 47-ball 69 against CSK followed by a 27-ball 50 against Kings XI Punjab. But has failed thereafter. Smith got a start in the previous match and would be hoping he can get a significant performance against SRH.

  1. David Warner (SRH) David Warner scored a 40-ball 52 against KXIP and gave glimpses of his old self. Though still not quite at his destructive best, he forms a formidable partnership with Jonny Bairstow at the top of the order for SRH. Warner is the only batsman to have won the Orange Cap in 3 editions of the IPL.

  1. Jonny Bairstow (SRH) Jonny Bairstow gave a Player of the Match Performance against KXIP smashing 97 off just 55 deliveries. The English batsman has scored 686 runs in 16 IPL matches at an average of 49 – the highest in the tournament’s history. He also scores his runs at a phenomenal strike rate of 150.1.

  1. Rashid Khan (SRH) Rashid Khan – the master spin wizard, has been SRH’s hero with the ball in IPL 2020. He has picked 8 wickets in 6 matches but what has been stunning is his ability to choke the batsmen in the middle overs. Rashid’s economy rate of 4.83 is the second-best in IPL 2020 only after Axar Patel.
