Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings Preview

With the Sunrisers having qualified for the playoffs their potent batting line-up is sure to take advantage of a Punjab side missing Curran and Bairstow from their batting line-up, as well as Rabada from their bowling attack.

After losing three of their last four matches, the Sunrisers bounced back by smashing the Lucknow Super Giants by 10 wickets. Their next match was rained off.

The Sunrisers bowled superbly, with Bhuvneshwar Kumar (2/12, econ 3.00) excelling with the ball as the Super Giants struggled to 165/4 off their 20 overs.

The Sunrisers barnstormed their way to victory as Abhishek Sharma (75* off 28 balls) and Travis Head (89* off 30 balls) shared an unbroken stand of 167 off just 9.4 overs.

The Sunrisers’ have rediscovered their form from a few weeks ago and should give the Punjab Kings a tough time.

Punjab Kings Form

After suffering back-to-back defeats against CSK and RCB, the Punjab Kings bounced back with a five-wicket win over the Rajasthan Royals.

The Punjab attack bowled superbly to restrict the Royals to 144/9 off their 20 overs. Sam Curran (2/24, econ 8.00) was the pick of the bowlers.

Sam Curran top-scored with 63* off 41 balls as Punjab won by five wickets with seven balls to spare.

Punjab will be without Jonny Bairstow and Sam Curran, who have returned to England to prepare for the T20 World Cup.

Verdict

Sunrisers Hyderabad v Punjab Kings

I am backing Sunrisers Hyderabad to win. I am also backing Travis Head to top score for Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Shashank Singh is a good bet to top score for the Punjab Kings.
