Hello and Welcome to our preview for Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Kings XI Punjab. We are covering Hyderabad vs Punjab. Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI for IPL. This match will be played at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad.
The table toppers Punjab meet Hyderabad who also are having quite a tournament and sitting on the 3rd place on the points table. While Punjab looks more solid and balanced, Sunrisers are not so behind in the race and serious contenders when they are playing at their home.
If you are to defend 118 runs in 120 balls, you got to have the Sunrisers’ spirit in you. The bowlers are their strength, and boy they deliver always. With 5 of their six bowlers bowling under the economy of 6, Siddharth Kaul being the leading wicket taker with 3 wickets, and Basil Thampi’s quick 2 wickets, Hyderabad defended a score only they can defend. But the batting had its own issues, With only the highest score being 29 from Williamson and Yusuf Pathan. Only two other players scored in double digits.
Like a well oiled machine, Kings XI Punjab have won 5 matches out of the 6 they have played. For the team that has been mostly out of top 4 for last 10 years, this must have felt like a breath of fresh air. Lokesh Rahul, going through purplest of the patches, is looking as threatening as a batsman can be. Along with names like Karun Nair, Yuvraj Singh and David Miller to come after him in the middle order. The bowling has captain Ashwin and Mujeeb Ur Rahman are the trumps, choking up runs.
