SRH vs PBKS Team Previews

Sunrisers Hyderabad

Opening for Hyderabad will be the left-handed duo of Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head. Sharma has almost 1500 runs in the IPL with seven 50s in the competition. Complementing the two blazing ball-strikers is Ishan Kishan can slot in anywhere in the top order and bring high tempo to the innings. He has four T20 centuries.

Nitish Kumar Reddy continues to grow into one of the newest prospects to emerge on the Indian domestic circuit. He made a start with 31 runs against Gujarat Titans. Heinrich Klaasen, donning the gloves, serves as the team’s finisher with match-turning innings in the back end of the game.

The South African has 1145 IPL runs while striking at almost 170. Youngster Aniket Verma and all-rounder Kamindu Mendis bring depth to the lineup, particularly with the finishing batting touches the team requires at the death. Verma has started off with a bang in the form of a batting strike rate just over 180 in five innings.

Pat Cummins, Australian captain and World Cup winner, lines up alongside Indian seamer Mohammed Shami to form one of the most formidable fast-bowling duos in the league. Both bring skill and wicket-taking ability to the party. Cummins has 67 IPL wickets.

Shami grabbed a couple of wickets against Gujarat. Backing the two right-arm seamers are the spin skills of Zeeshan Ansari and the seasoned left-arm pacer Jaydev Unadkat.

Punjab Kings

The Punjab team's batting lineup is particularly strong, featuring dynamic players like Priyansh Arya, who recently made headlines with a blistering 39-ball century against Chennai Super Kings. The century was the fourth fastest in IPL history. Prabhsimran Singh will accompany the young star and can be equally explosive.

Shreyas Iyer is working his way up the charts as one of the strongest captains in this tournament. His batting has not trailed far behind either. The Punjab skipper has three T20 centuries.

The Kings boast a versatile all-rounder contingent, including Australian powerhouses Glenn Maxwell and Marcus Stoinis. Maxwell's aggressive batting and off-spin bowling, combined with Stoinis's capability to contribute as a power-hitter or with a couple of medium-pace overs of bowling covers all bases for the team.

The inclusion of South African all-rounder Marco Jansen adds a left-arm pace option who can also deliver valuable runs in the lower order. Jansen showed his batting proficiency with 34 runs unbeaten in his previous innings. The team is well-stocked for taking the game deep with bat and ball. Shashank Singh’s lower-order exploits with 52 runs unbeaten against CSK kept his side in the game. Another local boy Nehal Wadhera could be a top batter for Punjab. He has three IPL half-centuries.

The spin expertise of Yuzvendra Chahal and the pace duo of Arshdeep Singh and Lockie Ferguson will take charge of duties with the ball. Chahal's leg-spin has been a consistent wicket-taking threat in the IPL. He has six four-wicket hauls and one five-wicket haul in the IPL.

Arshdeep's left-arm swing and Ferguson's express pace offer contrasting styles that can challenge any batting lineup. The New Zealander Ferguson grabbed a double in his previous IPL game.

SRH vs PBKS Toss Prediction

The toss could be important to consider. Four of the five most recent results between the teams have ended in the side chasing walking away with the points. This fixture will also be a night fixture, so dew may come into play in the second innings.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

Under the floodlights at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, the pitch transforms into a batter's paradise. The flat surface and consistent bounce mean stroke-makers can play their shots freely. The Sunrisers Hyderabad posted a monumental 286 for six in 20 overs against Rajasthan Royals. The bowlers may have little else to work with outside of swing with the new ball.

The players will need to navigate some warm and mostly cloudy conditions, while also feeling the impact of the slight humidity. The chance of rain is at five percent.
