However, the reputed commentator believes that the pitch in Dubai would assist the Sunrisers Hyderabad bowling attack.
While talking of the playing XIs the two teams should go with, Aakash Chopra reckoned that Sunrisers Hyderabad should play Kane Williamson ahead of Mohammad Nabi, considering their brittle middle-order and the nature of the pitch.
From the RCB perspective, he wants them to open with Aaron Finch and go for a pace-heavy attack considering the seamer-friendly conditions. He also hopes that Shivam Dube is given a decent run with the ball.
