Since it’s a day game and the wicket is expected to remain dry, Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahman is hopeful his off-cutters will come good when defending champions Sunrisers Hyderabad take on Kolkata Knight Riders.

“Cutters depend on wicket. If the strip is dry and it’s a day match, like it is tomorrow, yes there is a chance you will get to see them,” Mustafizur, who is also called “The Fizz”, told reporters on the eve of the match. “I always try to give my best when I am playing.

If I play, I will definitely try and give my best,” the 21-year-old, who made heads turn with his superlative effort against India in 2015, said. Asked if pace-heavy SRH will have an advantage on the Eden turf which assists the quicks, Mustafizur said: “If the wicket is good, definitely we will do well. We have a strong pace bowling unit. Batting is also good.”
