In the last few games, we have batted first; we have the ability to post good scores. We want to play some aggressive cricket; that's our mindset at the moment. We have seen that we don't have a fantastic record in the power play. We don't have that thought at the back of our minds. Every individual in our team plays their brand of cricket. We've got to be top-notch and need to back our instincts. We have to keep repeating that again and again. Playing with the same team," Shreyas Iyer said after winning the toss. During the time of toss, the Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper Pat Cummins informed that the team have made one change in the playing XI where they have brought in Eshan Malinga in place of Kamindu Mendis.

Not an ideal start. But we are training really well. Everyone is in a good space. We have lost a few in a row, but that isn't ideal. One change. Malinga comes in the side for Kamindu Mendis," Pat Cummins said.
