Sunrisers Hyderabad

Last-five form: W W L W W

SRH have won four of the last five. The team tops the league for powerplay scoring rate (10.4 runs per over). Death-overs economy has slipped to 10.8 - the middle-overs partnership is the trend to track.

Squad watch

Travis Head opens with Abhishek Sharma. The middle order is Heinrich Klaasen, Aiden Markram, Nitish Reddy. The finishers - Klaasen and Abdul Samad - have been the trend to track in the back end.

Pat Cummins leads the pace. His economy at the death (9.2) is the team's leading indicator. Bhuvneshwar Kumar is the new-ball specialist; his swing in the powerplay is the second trend.

Next three fixtures

vs Royal Challengers (home, April 15), vs Rajasthan Royals (home, April 20), vs Chennai Super Kings (away, April 25). The RR game is the swing - the spin match-up between Chahal and the left-handed top order will set the chase.

Depth chart

Opening: Head, Abhishek. Middle: Markram, Klaasen, Reddy. Finishers: Samad, Jansen. Pace: Cummins, Bhuvneshwar, Unadkat. Spin: Markram, Sundar.

Editor's note

The ceiling is Head-Abhishek crossing 90 in the powerplay and Cummins taking three at the death. The floor is when Klaasen is dismissed in the middle overs and the chase falls to one finisher. The trade window is typically used on an Indian seamer; that role is the shallowest on the current roster.
