TEAMS PREVIEW
Sunrisers Hyderabad Preview
It’s becoming a downhill slide for Pat Cummins and his men. The side has suffered four consecutive losses. They struggled with the bat in the last game against the Gujarat Titans, going down by 7 wickets. It is a must-win game for the team to keep hopes alive for the rest of the season. Cummins expects a better show from his batsmen, who have struggled in the last few games.
Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma are struggling, and the team expects an explosive start from this pair. The team has a strong middle order and expects good performances from Ishan Kishan, Nitish Reddy, and Heinrich Klaasen in the game. The lower middle order has struggled, and the team needs Aniket Verma, Kamindu Mendis, and Pat Cummins to do well.
Mohammed Shami and Pat Cummins must strike early as the Punjab Kings have a formidable top order. Simarjeet Singh struggled in the last game, and he must bowl well in the middle overs with Jaydev Unadkat and Zeeshan Ansari. The team also expects good performances in the supporting role from Kamindu Mendis and Abhiskeh Sharma.
Punjab Kings Preview
The Punjab Kings have surprised everyone this season with their consistency. Shreyas Iyer will be proud of his players’ performance in most games. It was a clinical show from the team against the Chennai Super Kings, where they won by 18 runs. They have a poor record at this venue, and Iyer would like a strong show from his men to beat the jinx at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.
Priyansh Arya hit a match-winning hundred in the last game and will look to deliver a positive start with Prabhsimran Singh. Shreyas Iyer will look to lead from the front and do well in the middle order with Marcus Stoinis and Nehal Wadhera. Glenn Maxwell, Shashank Singh, and Marco Jansen add firepower to the team’s batting.
The bowling attack will look to exploit the weaknesses in Sunrisers’ batting. Arshdeep Singh and Yash Thakur will look to strike early in this game. Glenn Maxwell has done well this season and will look to do well in the middle overs with Marco Jansen. Yuzvendra Chahal, Stoinis, and Lockie Ferguson add variety to this attack.
Weather Conditions
We will see clear skies over Hyderabad. We will see a flat surface where the batsmen can score runs at will. Bowlers will have a tough time on this surface as there is little on this track for them. The average first-innings score is 205 runs and the team batting first will aim for 230 on the board.
SRH vs PBKS Pitch Report
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad, has an excellent batting surface. Batsmen have done, and they can play their strokes at this venue. There isn’t much on this track for the fast bowlers, and they must bend their backs to do well. Spinners have enjoyed the conditions and have been successful here.
Toss: To Bat
It is among the best batting surfaces in the IPL, where we have seen batsmen take the bowling attack to the cleaners. Big scores have been the norm at this venue. Most teams have found it difficult to chase runs on this surface. The side winning the toss would look to bat first.
