#5 Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) – 10 matches and 10 points
SRH will at least two of their remaining four games in the season in order keep their hopes alive for qualifying in this season. However, they will not have the full services of their prolific opening pair any more – Jonny Bairstow will miss all the remaining 4 games while David Warner will miss the last two league matches. The duo has scored in more than 70% of SRH’s runs this season and they are also the highest scorers of the tournament. The rest of their batting hasn’t been tested much and looks weak.
Their NRR of 0.654 – the best in the tournament – could well come into play with the possibility of a number of teams ending with 14 points.
