IPL 2017 Player battles: Top 4 player encounters to look for in the Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Gujarat Lions match

#3 Moises Henriques vs Dwayne Smith

Moises Henriques was superb with the bat against RCB in the Sunrisers’ first match

Coming off a match-winning innings in the first game, Henriques will look to keep contributing whether with the bat or with the ball. Coming in behind the explosive opening pair of Warner and Shikhar Dhawan, Henriques might once again have to help his team navigate through the middle overs without losing too much steam.

He did extremely well in the opening game against some mediocre bowling and fielding, but he will need all his experience against the wily Dwayne Smith. Smith was carted for 23 runs in the only over he bowled in Rajkot. He will definitely want to put it in the past and produce a winning spell or an entertaining innings to take his team over the line.
