#6 Sunrisers Hyderabad

SRH has always been known for their bowling and even in this season, it is their bowling that is helped them win matches even in this season. With the loss of Warner, the batting of SRH was always going to be weak and in spite of Williamson heroics, they have the least run rate in the tournament.
