Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have opted to bowl after winning the toss against Gujarat Lions (GL) in their IPL 2017 match at Kanpur's Green Park today. While David Warner's SRH seek full points to make the IPL 2017 last-four, Suresh Raina's Gujarat Lions want to end their unimpressive campaign with a bang.
After back-to-back losses against Delhi Daredevils and Rising Pune Supergiant, SRH carved out a seven-wicket win over table-toppers Mumbai Indians at Hyderabad and David
Warner's men need another inspiring show this afternoon.
With 15 points from seven wins and five losses in 13 games, Sunrisers Hyderabad are currently placed at the fourth spot, while Gujarat Lions are already out of contention with only eight points from 13 matches.
If SRH lose against GL, then their play-off hopes will depend on the match between Rising Pune Supergiant and Kings XI Punjab in Pune on Sunday. They would need RPS to beat KXIP to make it to the playoffs.
