Sunrisers Hyderabad have won the toss and have opted to bat vs KKR.

SRH skipper Captain Pat Cummins is confident about his team's batting prowess on a seemingly good batting wicket. 'Looks like a belter,' he said, hinting at using the bat first.

'The boys have been phenomenal, and hopefully, they can continue their form tonight. We expect a high-scoring game,' Cummins added.

KKR skipper Shreyas Iyer, though a bowling enthusiast, acknowledges the captain's decision. 'While I would've loved to bowl first,' he admitted, 'the curator mentioned a mixed-surface pitch. We'll have to adapt and see how it plays out. The key is maintaining momentum and staying focused on the present moment.'

Here's to a good game!!!
