CAPTAINS’ TAKE:
Eoin Morgan (KKR):
We will have to improve our basics better, we didn’t do that against MI in our last match. Two changes for us – Kuldeep and Lockie in, for Green and Prasidh. We don’t want to rush Sunil back, we’ll give them some time.
David Warner (SRH):
We’ll have a bowl. The wickets have been challenging in Dubai compared to this one. Two changes for us – Thampi replaces Khaleel, we have left out a spinner.
TOSS: Sunrisers Hyderabad captain David Warner wins toss, opts to field against Kolkata Knight Riders.

It’s TOSS time, folks.
PITCH REPORT:
“The sun is out and it’s around 35 degrees at the moment in Abu Dhabi, so it should be comfortable for the players. We are playing on pitch number four today and that means it’s pretty much even boundaries on both sides of the ground. The surface looks green, so it should offer something for the faster men. It’s a pitch where you’ll need to hit the deck hard – bowl short and reap rewards” – Ian Bishop and Danny Morrison.
GOOD NEWS!
The IPL on Sunday said West Indies spinner Sunil Narine can continue to bowl after it found nothing illegal in his deliveries during an assessment that was prompted by an on-field caution earlier this month. Narine’s team, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), asked for the assessment after umpires suspected an illegal elbow bend in an Oct. 10 tie against Kings XI Punjab and issued a warning. The clearance means the 32-year-old can continue bowling in this year’s tournament, which is being held in the United Arab Emirates due to concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic in India.
