PROBABLE XIs

RR - Buttler, Jaiswal, Samson(C/Wk), Dussen, Dube, Miller/Parag, Tewatia, Morris, Unadkat, Mustafizur/Tyagi/Gopal, Sakariya

Probable Changes
Rassie Van Der Dussen is available for selection and will either come in for Miller or Mustafizur. If he comes in for Miller, then that'll be the only change. However, if he comes in for Mustafizur, then Kartik Tyagi or Shreyas Gopal could come in for Riyan Parag.

SRH - Roy/Garg, Bairstow(Wk), Pandey, Williamson(C), Shankar, Jadhav, Rashid, Holder/Suchith, Kaul, Khaleel, Sandeep

Probable Changes
Kane Williamson has been appointed as the captain which means David Warner is set to be dropped from the XI. Either Jason Roy would come in to the opening slot alongwith Bairstow, or Jason Holder could come in for Suchith, with Priyam Garg coming in for David Warner. If that happens, either Garg will open or Williamson will open with Garg at 4.
