    Yuvraj Singh plays a shot during IPL 2017 match against RCB

    Hyderabad

    Sunrisers are high on confidence after a comfortable 35-run win in their opening game against a depleted Royal Challengers Bangalore while Gujarat Lions were demolished by the KKR opening pair of Chris Lynn and Gautam Gambhir during their 184-run opening stand. 

    With Yuvraj Singh in prime form and Australian Moises Henriques and Ben Cutting making all-round contributions, Sunrisers are favourites going into the match. 

    Under the spotlight will be teenage Afghanistan leg-spinner Rashid Khan Arman, who got a couple of wickets on IPL debut.

    Lions could ring in a few changes with Australia all-rounder James Faulkner may replace a horribly out-of-form and out-of-shape Dwayne Smith.
