||| IPL 2015: RR v SRH @ Mumbai ||| SRH won - Page 3

Not too long until the start now. David Warner and Shikhar Dhawan will once again attempt to kickstart the Sunrisers innings, and hope that the strengthened middle order - three overseas players in it today - will be able to capitalise and post a competitive total. Given that batting is the Royals strong suit, Sunrisers will need something substantial.

Gowtham: "It's not such a bad bowling attack given the excellent yorkers being deployed by both Kumars and you never know how Ishant is going to bowl. Even Karn and Henriques are doing their job effectively. For me, this is a better SRH outfit with strengthened middle order."

Arinjaya: "They should have played both Steyn and Boult .To strenghten their middle order , they could have Warner at 4 as he was very successful last year and helped his team a lot. The could have Williamson at 3 ,open with Dhawan and Rahul and Ojha at 5"

3.45 pm Rene : "It is really strange that without good results, SRH continue to bench some of the best international players in the world for players that aren't even certainties for their national sides. SRH has lost the plot big time."

Avinash: "Choice of Bopara over Williamson might be due to the extra bowling option that he provides given that both Steyn and Boult are not playing."

Toss, 3.30 pm Shane Watson has won the toss and Rajasthan Royals will bowl first at the Brabourne Stadium.

Royals have made two changes. Chris Morris comes in for Tim Southee and Pravin Tambe for Rajat Bhatia.

Sunrisers have also made two changes. Ravi Bopara replaces Dale Steyn, so it means they don't have any overseas specialist bowlers. Ishant Sharma returns for Bipul Sharma. Moises Henriques and Bopara will have to chip in with overs. Sunrisers have basically tried to strengthen their weak middle order but weakened their bowling.
