The Sunrisers Hyderabad are encountering a horrible run of form and to add to their miseries, their main man David Warner will be playing his final game of the season on Monday. Warner, for the third time in his career, has scaled over 600 runs in an IPL season. His brilliant run resulted in Sunrisers getting off to a good start, but their lacklustre middle order isn’t giving him enough support.

The Sunrisers now face an uphill task of winning all of their remaining games to confirm a berth in the playoffs. The disappointing factor for them is that they only have one home game remaining. After that, they will be travelling to Mumbai and Bangalore to face their respective home sides and the road to playoffs look pretty complicated for the Orange Army.

David Warner might have a new opening partner in Martin Guptill, as speculations suggest, but Kane Williamson loves having either one of Shakib Al Hasan or Mohammad Nabi in the team. This would mean that Martin Guptill can only enter the squad when Warner will fly back to Australia as a part of his World Cup commitments.

Warner had a chance of recording his sixth successive fifty in the tournament, which would’ve erased Virender Sehwag and Jos Buttler’s effort of five fifties in a row from the top. His record against Kings XI Punjab has been outstanding and there’s no denying that he has a great chance of putting up another show in front of his home fans on Monday.
