After that incredible win over Pune Warriors, Sunrisers Hyderabad will look to continue their good form when they host Kings XI Punjab in IPL 2013.
Sunrisers came back amazingly after looking dead and buried against Pune, with Amit Mishra picking up four wickets in five balls, including a hat-trick to give his side a remarkable win, their fourth in six matches.
Kings XI, on the other hand, have only played four all season, winning two and losing two. Their batting has been a concern and coach Darren Lehmann is determined to put things right against the Sunrisers.
"We'd like more runs," said Lehmann, who coached the now defunct Deccan Chargers last season. "I think we are the only team in the tournament so far with no batsman scoring a fifty. That's disappointing from the batting group point of view.
"I thought we started to bat well in the last match but it was mainly due to (Manpreet Singh) Gony's powerful 40-odd. We're doing all things right in the nets and off the field. They've just got to make more runs now."
Kings XI also pulled off an impressive win over Kolkata Knight Riders in their last match, but that has not papered over the concerns regarding the batting form of skipper Adam Gilchrist, who has struggled quite perceptibly this season.
"As captain he has done a really good job and his keeping has been fantastic as well," Lehmann said of his compatriot. "He has to get more runs and he knows that. But no dramas as such."
However, Kings XI will not have it easy against the Sunrisers, who probably have the best bowling side in the IPL.
"They've got a very good bowling attack. But we have got our plans. We know pretty much what they do and they know how we play," Lehmann added.
"I've always rated Mishy (Amit Mishra, who bagged his second IPL hat-trick, against Pune Warriors in the last match) high. We've got Piyush Chawla and it's going to be a contest between the two leggies.
"Ishant has had a fine time with the Indian team. He's a fine young man. He was injured and missed last year's IPL which was disappointing for the team. He's a quality bowler and we will have to work our way to get on top of him."
