IPL Match 56 SunRisers Hyderabad vs Mumbai Indians
SRH, MI in another virtual Quarter-Final
Venue: RGI Stadium, Hyderabad.
Time: 20:00 IST
SRH play MI at home in a winner-takes-all match. Both teams have turned around their season after poor starts but one of them will bow out at the last hurdle before the play-offs.
Players to watch out for:
SRH- David Warner will once again provide a bright start to the Sunrisers. He is expected to lead the batting attack from the front aggressively.
MI- This match totally depends on Rohit Sharma. If MI are to qualify for the play-offs, this man can do it single-handedly.
Prince's Prediction Stats: 2-0PRINCE's Prediction: SRH beat MI, B Kumar takes at least 2 Wickets.
Warner to sit out of BBL this season
Test opener David Warner has followed his captain Michael Clarke in sitting out of this summer's Big Bash League, declaring himself unavailable for the Sydney Thunder. Clarke announced on Thursday that hewould not renew his Thunder contract this year due to Australia's heavy international schedule and the likelihood that he would be unable to play any BBL games anyway.
Warner has also decided to focus exclusively on Australia's Test series against India and the one-day tri-series against England and India that follows, as well as spending more time with his fiancé and their new baby, expected in the next few months. Warner said his decision was only for this year and he was keen to return to the BBL next summer.
"It was obviously a really hard decision because I love playing in the Big Bash," Warner said. "But with a massive summer of international cricket I want to focus on doing the best I can for the Test team and hopefully help us win the World Cup.
"Given there is so much international cricket it was unlikely that I would be available for many BBL matches. By then I'll also have a new young family so the extra day or two at home between international games will be invaluable. I've made this decision just for this season; I'm looking forward to being involved in the Big Bash again next summer."
