IPL 2017: MI vs SRH, 5 factors of winning

#3 Strategy

Warner has not been as handy against spin and MI can probably try Krunal Pandya against him at the top

Like every other game, strategy will play a massive role in this encounter as well. MI’s think tanks will have to come out with a plan to stop Warner at the top and test SRH’s Achilles Heel. Warner has not been as handy against spin and MI can probably try Krunal Pandya against him at the top.

Yuvraj Singh, on other hand, has been vulnerable against short pitched deliveries and McClenaghan can come handy for MI.

On the other hand, SRH have been astute in their planing and counter-attacking with the ball as well. Rohit, who has been out of action for a while with injuries and has not managed to get going in two games so far, has a weakness against the ball moving away from him and SRH have the likes of Nehra and Rahman to exploit it.
