Great win for SRH tonight. Thanks to the win they now have 6 points from 6 matches and they jump to third spot on the points table. Sadly nothing is going right for KXIP at the moment and they have mere 2 points from their 6 matches and are at the bottom of the table. Tommrow RR return to Sharjah where they face DC. So, join us for then. For now it is goodnight!
Jonny Bairstow: Very pleased. The consistency is the key. The partnership at the top was the key tonight. He's (Warner) a good fun, we know what a quality batter he is. I am happy with the way I am striking. The temperature is different, the dimensions and pitches are different too. The guys held the nerve. (On keeping to Rashid Khan) It's great fun, tricky at times.
Player of the Match
No prizes for guessing that Jonny Bairstow is the Player of the Match. Bairstow hammered 97 from 55 balls hitting 7 fours and 6 sixes.
David Warner: I was a bit nervous while Nicholas was hitting it over the stands. I have always had high prospects. I was fortunate to play in Bangladesh with him. You always think, 'What can I do?'. He's (Rashid) a world-class bowler, it's great to have him. He always delivers in pressure situations. What a player. Sad for Bhuvi, but having one of our best death bowlers out of the team gives an opportunity for others. We love batting with each other. At the moment, I am just rotating strike for him. We enjoy batting with each other. If we apply pressure by coming at them. We have got a tough game against RR, have to start fresh again.
KL Rahul: I think when we lose wickets in the powerplay, it's always going to be tough and getting Mayank run-out was a disaster. We kept losing wickets after that and it was one of those days where everything (aerial shots) went into the hands of fielders. The last five games we've been struggling in the death overs, but we pulled things back, else 230 was on the cards. Pooran is so good to watch, he's hitting proper cricket shots. If we get a decent job at the start, he can do the job for us later. He's (Ravi Bishnoi) always enjoyed those situations, that's great to see for a youngster. All of them are professionals, and they know where they're going wrong. Everyone's working hard and they want to contribute for the team. They have proved themselves in the past.

KXIP Playing XI
KL Rahul(c), Mayank Agarwal, Mandeep Singh, Nicholas Pooran(w), Simran Singh, Glenn Maxwell, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Mohammed Shami, Sheldon Cottrell
SRH Playing XI
David Warner(c), Jonny Bairstow(w), Manish Pandey, Kane Williamson, Priyam Garg, Abhishek Sharma, Abdul Samad, Rashid Khan, Sandeep Sharma, K Khaleel Ahmed, T Natarajan
KL Rahul: I was hoping I'd lose the toss but I would have wanted to bat first too. We've just not been able to close games with bat or ball. We've started well, but not closed down things. Set batsmen haven't been able to convert into bigger scores. Bowlers haven't executed their plans but we know that can happen. I'm happy that the dressing room is a place where the boys are having a lot of fun. Doesn't feel like we've lost a lot of games. Guys know that we've made mistakes and everyone is keen to come back stronger. Three changes - Prabhsimran, Arshdeep and Mujeeb come in for Jordan, Brar and Sarfaraz.
David Warner: We'll have a bit. Last game while chasing, we lost a lot of wickets in the middle. And in the bowling, there were about two or three overs where they just overpitched. 170-200 has been the range of par scores. Don't know how the track will play until you are out there. One change - Khaleel in for Kaul.
Toss
SRH skipper David Warner wins the toss and opts to bat.
Pitch Report
Good hard track on offer. The ball will carry on to the bat which will make strokeplay easy. The pitch might slow a bit as the match progresses and then it could spin. But the captain winning the toss should bat first.

David Warner (c), Kane Williamson, KL Rahul (wk), Mayank Agarwal, Abdul Samad, Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan, Ravi Bishnoi, T Natarajan, Mohammad Shami, Khaleel Ahmed
Impact player for KXIP
Mohammad Shami: The Indian pacer got eight wickets in five matches with an average of 19.12 and an economy of 8.19. If KXIP want to win, Shami should be in the mix with his wicket-taking impact.
Impact player for SRH
David Warner: The Aussie batman isn't at his best. As one of the all-time leading run-scorers in the IPL, Warner needs to find his best form for the team to succeed. SRH need his big scores to make a play-off push.
KXIP Threats: Another loss and KXIP's tournament may be as good as finished. They will not want to find themselves in that situation. They should treat each match as a must-win game.
KXIP Opportunities: Chris Gayle is overdue. His record in the IPL is phenomenal with six hundreds and a strike rate of 151.02. He could lift team morale quickly with his batting heroics.
SRH Weaknesses: Glenn Maxwell is proving to be a liability at the moment. He was supposed to anchor the middle order and accelerate as needed. Unfortunately, he hasn't found his rhythm in the UAE. He will need to be rested.
KXIP Strengths: KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal are in form and are getting the big runs. If Chris Gayle plays, then the top three will be formidable and the big scores will follow.
The SWOT analysis of KXIP
SRH Threats: With Bhuvneshwar Kumar out of the tournament, SRH have lost a lot of bowling experience and the attack has been considerably weakened. This is a serious problem for David Warner.
SRH Opportunities: SRH could bolster bowling and batting options by bringing in either Mohammad Nabi or Jason Holder in place of Jonny Bairstow. The two are proven all-rounders and could make a difference.
SRH Weaknesses: An unreliable middle order. SRH’s middle order has talented young Indian players but they are still raw. With openers Warner and Jonny Bairstow unable to recreate last year's magic, the middle order is a huge weak link.
SRH Strengths: David Warner and Kane Williamson are two match-winners with a world of experience. They have different approaches but they need to click together. The presence of these two world-class players in the eleven is SRH’s biggest strength.
