The visitors come into the match after a 16-run win over defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in a rain-affected match via the Duckworth-Lewis method on Wednesday.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">&quot;It&#39;s good to have a Super Over, because at the end of the match you want a result. You don&#39;t want teams to share points. It&#39;s exciting and also has something for the crowd,&quot; Laxman said at the pre-match press conference here.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">&quot;It is also not time consuming, it&#39;s equal to both the teams. It&#39;s not something which favours just one team. I favour it more than the bowl out. In bowl out one can be unlucky sometimes,&quot; he said.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">Their opponent Mumbai Indians have lost five out of six outings so far in the ongoing season. Batting has been a problem for Mumbai in the season, specially at the beginning of an innings.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">When asked if Hyderabad&#39;s fast bowling duo Dale Steyn and Trent Boult would both be in the squad on Saturday to outclass the Mumbai batsmen, the 40-year-old said: &quot;That&#39;s a possibility. But let us see how the wicket is on Saturday. We haven&#39;t taken any decision yet on the playing eleven. On Saturday we will take the final call.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">The former Indian batting great said despite the home side being in poor form, Hyderabad are no taking Mumbai lightly.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">&quot;Mumbai didn&#39;t play to their potential till now, but they have got a dangerous batting line-up. They have got match winners in them. It&#39;s important for us to focus on what our strengths is and what we have to do right to have the right result on our side,&quot; Laxman concluded.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
