Hyderabad have been hit by their fair share of injuries this season, with Kane Williamson having missed out on the start of the tournament due to a niggle. Mitchell Marsh and Bhuvneshwar Kumar were ruled out midway through the tournament, while there are clouds over Vijay Shankar and Wriddhiman Saha's fitness as well. Hyderabad would hope that the likes of Warner and Williamson bring their best form with them at Sharjah.

With Mumbai having already qualified for the playoffs, the four-time champions could rest some key players for this fixture, handing Hyderabad the advantage.
