Having lost the opener 1-2 against to Delhi Waveriders, Magicians have now travelled to Ranchi, leaving them with very less time to prepare for Friday's game.
The Ranchi will be full of confidence after handing Punjab Warriors their second successive defeat in an away game.
Rhinos, who have invested a lot in local talent, defended extremely well towards the end stages of the game on Wednesday, and the team management would love to see a similar performance from the backline against Magicians.
Magicians were dominated in the first three quarters of the match by Waveriders and the team think tank would like to see them to be a bit more aggressive at the start.
They made a match out of it in the final quarter, and, perhaps, there is some clue as to how Magicians would like to play in the future games.
They almost sealed a draw on Wednesday, before Sandeep Singh's penalty stroke in the last minute hit the cross-bar. Such a loss can take a lot out of a team psychologically and Magicians and Singh in particular, would need to forget Wednesday
