A beauty from Boult to get rid of Stokes.

An absolute jaffer from Boult.

Maybe speaking prematurely here but think Rajasthan may struggle this IPL. Just look like they're going to struggle to get the balance of their side right although adding Sodhi should help.

First things first, Tripathi should open with Short, Rahane 3, Samson 4, Stokes should be 5, Buttler 6. Samson and maybe even Rahane demoted if they get off to a flier and Buttler/Stokes promoted.

Great game in prospect today Sunrisers vs Mumbai, two strong sides - fancy Mumbai myself as think they're the best equipped side in the tournament, anyone got any thoughts

Hyderabad are far too good for Mumbai. Sunrisers bowling attack is sensational. Mumbai overly reliant on Rohit

I worry that Sunrisers batting is a little pedestrian and Warner a big miss.

Opening with Dhawan and Williamson is just not devastating enough IMO. Williamson is a 120 s/r specialist.

Mumbai have a powerpacked side with the Pandya brothers, Lewis, Sharma and gun bowling spearheaded by Bumrah. I fancy Mumbai for this one. Really like the makeup of their side. Should be a classic

Bhuvi has the most wickets in the last two ipl's. Also Hyderabad record at home is fantastic. Rashid Khan gives Sunrisers the advantage, Mumbai only have average spinners
