PBKS vs SRH Team Previews
Punjab Kings
After suffering back-to-back losses, the Punjab Kings bounced back smartly in the last match as they defeated the Gujarat Titans by chasing down a mammoth 200-run target. The team now has 4 points and is placed 6th in the points table.
As expected, Shikhar Dhawan is yet again in prime form and is the leading run-scorer for Punjab. Prabhsimran Singh too seems to have picked up from where he left during the last season and has got some good starts.
However, the team will need him to play a big inning if they want to post a match-winning total. The Punjab Kings have a couple of all-rounders in the form of Sam Curran and Sikandar Raza, who not only add depth to the batting but also provide quality bowling options.
Shashank Singh scored a brilliant half-century in the last match and might just be the finisher that the Kings were looking for. The team has a strong seam attack consisting of Arshdeep Singh, Kagiso Rabada, Harshal Patel, and Sam Curran but they tend to be a bit expensive.
The spin attack consists of Harpreet Brar and Rahul Chahar who have picked up 6 wickets between them.

Sunrisers Hyderabad
Just like their opponents, the Sunrisers Hyderabad has lacked consistency and have alternated between a loss and a win in the 4 matches played so far. Albeit, they did defeat CSK in their latest fixture and will be feeling confident as they head to Chandigarh.
Sunrisers have a strong batting line-up and that is evident from the fact that they have two scores of 200-plus runs in the 4 matches. The team will yet again look to post a massive total. Heinrich Klaasen and Abhishek Sharma are in prime form, scoring 177 and 161 runs respectively, and have been scoring boundaries at will.
They have received excellent support from Aiden Markram and Travis Head. With the likes of Nitish Reddy, Shahbaz Ahmed, and Abdul Samad available for selection, there is no dearth of batting talent in the squad.
The bowlers will need to be a bit disciplined with their line and length. Mayank Markande, Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, and Jaydev Unadkat have all gone for over 9 runs per over and that is something the team will look to work on. Pat Cummins is the leading wicket-taker for SRH with 5 wickets.

Pitch and Conditions
The pitch in Mullanpur is likely to be a high-scoring one. The surface in the last match was flat offering plenty of bounce and pace for the batsmen to work with. The quicker bowlers might be able to get some movement with the new ball but they will have to bowl a good line to keep the batsmen in check. A score of around 180 will be a par score.
The weather is likely to remain clear with temperatures between 24 and 27 degrees.

Bonus Cricket Bets
Both, the Punjab Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad have a strong batting line-up. Two of the 4 matches played by SRH have seen scores of 350 or more, while all 4 matches played by Punjab Kings have seen at least 350 runs. With a good batting surface on offer, another high-scoring encounter is on the cards.
While the Punjab Kings have won the toss twice in their 4 matches, the Sunrisers have managed to win it in 3 matches during the same time. We can therefore expect a similar outcome in this match.
Klaasen is in brilliant form this season and has scored 2 half-centuries in 4 innings. He was the top batsman for his team in both those matches. While the other batsmen in the team are in good touch too, Klaasen has a higher probability of playing a big inning.
The opening pair for Hyderabad has been pretty consistent so far. They have put up partnerships of at least 34 runs in each of the 4 matches. On the other hand, barring a century stand against LSG, the openers for Punjab Kings have struggled a bit.
