NEW DELHI: Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper Pat Cummins won the toss and chose to bowl first against Gujarat Titans in their Indian Premier League clash on Friday. The SRH side remains unchanged from their previous match.
“We will have a bowl. You never really know what you will get. Sometimes it is better to bat at night. We won our first game at CSK’s venue. Hopefully the trend continues here as well. If we win all our games, we still have a chance. We haven’t quite clicked as a team. Last couple of games, we have done better. Same team,” Cummins said at the toss.
Gujarat Titans made one change, bringing in Gerald Coetzee in place of Afghanistan allrounder Karim Janat.
“We would have bowled first as well. Looks like a good wicket. Last game here we played against Mumbai, we batted first as well. The season has been pretty good for us. Nothing changes for us. This is the time when good teams peak. We are not really looking at the NRR. We are looking to see each game as it is. We have one change. Gerald Coetzee comes in for Karim Janat,” said GT captain Shubman Gill.
Afghanistan allrounder Janat had a tough outing in Titans’ previous game against Rajasthan Royals, where young sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi took him apart, smashing 30 runs in a single over with three sixes and three fours.
