Pitch Report: Hyderabad has historically been a two-paced wicket, where batters aren’t able to score freely until they settle down on the crease. As there was a week’s breather before this game, the track might be a bit better. There will be help for pacers with the new ball and spinners would also get some purchase. Overall, a bowling-supportive wicket.
Weather: It will be a hot day in Hyderabad with temperature rising around 37 Celsius.
Dependable Trio for D3
Heinrich Klaasen (Hyderabad) [Captain]: Klaasen has been Hyderbad’s best batter this season. He is striking the ball tremendously and might come out to bat a bit higher in this game. He is also a top wicketkeeper and would fetch some points from behind the stumps as well.
Quinton de Kock (Lucknow): de Kock played his first match of the Indian T20 League on Sunday and fired a good-looking 70 off 41 balls. He looked in top form and would be a key batter for Lucknow at the top in this game as well. He could once again play a big knock and is a safe pick.
Mayank Markande (Hyderabad): The ball will start gripping at Hyderabad as the game goes on and that’s where Mayank Markande could become dangerous. He has been bowling beautifully in the middle phase of the innings and with Lucknow’s middle-order a bit vulnerable against spin, he could take a few wickets.
