(Cricket news) One of these teams’ winning momentum will be snapped as both have made identical starts to the season with two successive defeats before bouncing back with two wins each. Sunrisers have finally got the best out of Harry Brook’s IPL career by using him as an opener, last match he made a match-winning century. Brook the opener and the return of Abhishek Sharma along with the in-form Aiden Markram in the middle order have given Sunrisers the lethal potency in their batting line up. But the player that has impressed the most is Mayank Markande which has allowed Sunrisers to play Marco Jansen, which gives the side a extra pace needed in the side.
If Jofra Archer is not yet available then Duan Jansen plays which means that he will face his twin brother as it will be only for the second time in professional cricket. The longevity of Archer’s injury is still unknown but he should become available at some point. Suryakumar Yadav showed signs of form which sets them up beautifully with the bat. All eyes are still on Archer but Cameroon Green also needs to show his magic as the MI think tank need to promote him up the order.
