Team News

SUNRISERS HYDERABAD

• Sunrisers, who is in the eighth spot with just two points in the account, are practically out of playoff battle unless the teams on eight or ten points don’t win a single game from now. And that’s very nonsensical as SRH will also need to win their surviving 6 matches very convincingly. 
• As far as the team combination is involved, former skipper David Warner, who returned to the playing 11, had a frustrating game against DC. But he is too great a player to drop with the vacancy of Jonny Bairstow. However, with the matches of Jason Roy and Mohammed Nabi available, SRH may try squeezing their line-up

PUNJAB KINGS

• Who is in the seventh spot with six points in a pocket, are still in the run for a playoff position, but they will need to win their left 5 matches to keep that active. And after the batters tried to take the side over the line against RR notwithstanding an excellent start from the openers Rahul and Mayank Agarwal.
• Punjab Kings somehow found how to show certain victory into defeat against Rajasthan Royals last outing after failing to attain just the four runs needed from the ultimate over to successfully chase down a target of 186.
• The Kings played overflow the course of the competition and aren’t expected to overreact to the loss, although it might be a surprise if the likes of experienced big-hitting batter Chris Gayle and leg-spin bowler Ravi Bishnoi aren’t brought into the side for this match.

Today’s match prediction: Punjab Kings to win the match.
