Team Preview
Hyderabad
Hyderabad is currently at number eight spot at the points table. The team had a rocky start to this season of Indian T20 League. However, in the last match, Hyderabad made a fantastic comeback when the team defeated Chennai. The wobbling top order of Hyderabad showed a lot of promise in their last match. Openers Abhishek Sharma and Kane Williamson contributed over 100 runs for the team. Eventually, it was the match-winning performance of Abhishek Sharma (75 runs) that ushered Hyderabad to the other side.
Meanwhile, the bowling unit still lacks depth. Veteran Bhuvaneshwar Kumar is yet to tap into his ‘beast mode’ this season. However, Washington Sundar and T Natranjan have been consistently taking wickets for the side. Hyderabad must work on their side if they are looking to move forward in the tournament.
Gujarat
Gujarat is playing the Indian T20 League for the first time this season. However, the team has proven to be the most successful side of the tournament. Gujarat is sitting comfortably at number three at the points table. Gujarat has yet to taste the bitter taste of defeat in the tournament. Batter Shubhman Gill (96 runs) is making headlines this season for the franchise. Skipper Hardik Pandya is in tremendous form, and is constantly performing with both bat and bowl.
The bowling unit of Gujarat is one of the most lethal units of the Indian T20 League. Veteran Mohammed Shami and youngster Avesh Khan together are delivering performances of their lifetimes for their team. Spinning sensation, Rashid Khan recently joined the party with the other bowlers.
