Hyderabad have made one change as Mohammad Shami misses out and Jaydev Unadkat come in. For Mumbai Indians, Vignesh Puthur comes in for Ashwani Kumar.
Sunrisers Hyderabad Pat Cummins said, "One change for us - Shami goes out. It is a cause for optimism, we know this surface and ground really well. We've played some really good cricket this year. It has been heartbreaking for us as well, our thoughts are with the victims and their families."
