The Sunrisers are through while the Punjab Kings are out. To add to Punjab’s struggles they will be lining up without Sam Curran and Jonny Bairstow. Shikhar Dhawan could be back. Another bonus for them could be the weather. Hyderabad at night has been a belter. With the sun beating down though there could be some more help for spinners, and that could be a bonus for Punjab as they plot ways to silence the rampaging SRH batters.

SRH vs PBKS Key Players

Nitish Kumar Reddy

Nitish Kumar has been one of the finds of the tournament. His batting, particularly against spin has been very measured, and he has shown that he can hit big. While Nitish Reddy has not yet made an impact with ball, he is showing glimpses of what he can do in the future with good pace and a good action.

Harshal Patel

Harshal Patel has silently found the purple cap on his head again. His slower balls are working well and the death overs are deceiving batters this time around.
