Important for us to leave this game here and move forward. We bowled pretty okay, we did not get a good start with the ball. Was one of those days were nothing went for us. We fielded well which s a good sign, a positive to take forward."

Rohit: "We will bowl first. Pretty hot but it's very dry and sticky, unlike Mumbai. We came couple of days early to get used to the conditions. We have won the last three games. Whatever we spoke in the dressing room, we executed it. We have to be at our best to beat these guys."

The last time the two teams faced each other on April 18, it was the Sunrisers who had the last laugh by registering a seven-wicket win with 15 balls to spare and the Mumbai side will be itching for a revenge when they meet their rivals at Dr. YS Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, MI's new 'home' venue.
Both Mumbai and Hyderabad have been driven by the batting prowess of their respective skippers Rohit Sharma and David Warner, who have proven to be the run-machines for their teams with a total of 383 runs and 410 runs respectively so far in IPL-9.
For Mumbai, Ambati Rayudu and Parthiv Patel have stepped up whenever their skipper has failed, whereas for Hyderabad, Shikhar Dhawan has taken the responsibility of guiding their batting unit apart from Warner.
Australian all-rounder Moises Henriques too has proved to be an important cog in SRH's wheels with some crucial contributions.

Sunrisers Hyderabad also now have the services of Yuvraj Singh, who made his IPL-9 debut after recovering from an ankle injury.
Interestingly, both Mumbai and Hyderabad have depended on their pace battery when it comes to restricting their oppositions.
While New Zealand's Mitchell McClenaghan has led the Mumbai attack, claiming 13 wickets so far to be placed second in the top-wicket takers' list, Bhuvneshwar Kumar has snapped 12 scalps to get the job done for Hyderabad side.
Among others, Jasprit Bumrah and Tim Southee have taken 11 and 7 wickets respectively to be the next best bowlers for Mumbai.
Similarly, Bangladesh's Mustafizur Rahman (10 wickets) has proved to be an asset for Hyderabad and Barinder Sran (six wickets) too has chipped in.
