Sunrisers Hyderabad Preview: At rock bottom
Things just aren’t happening right now for Sunrisers Hyderabad. Bottom of the table, can’t find a way and were comfortably beaten last time out by Gujarat Titans. They lack potency with the ball and pop with the bat, a nightmare combination which is costing them, not to mention confidence within the camp likely being on the floor.
Punjab Kings Preview: Back to winning ways
Punjab Kings responded perfectly to their 50-run reversal at the hands of Rajasthan Royals by getting the better of Chennai Super Kings by 18 runs. They took full advantage of an out of form Chennai, playing better in clutch situations across the match and will be confident of doing the same against another struggling side in SRH.
Sunrisers Hyderabad Betting Analysis
If anyone can help to inspire a Sunrisers Hyderabad revival, it would be Mohammed Shami. The veteran India bowler is such a skilful operator who can hold his own against big-hitting opposition and find a way to churn out wickets. He took over 1.5 scalps against the Titans last weekend and is well worth backing to do the same again vs Punjab.
Punjab Kings Betting Analysis
New Zealand’s Lockie Ferguson boasts significantly more pace than Shami and whilst his control can sometimes waver, leading the opposition scoring runs more freely against Ferguson, the right-arm speedster represents a substantial point of difference for Punjab Kings, especially in what is likely to be a flat pitch.

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings Expert Prediction
Punjab Kings bat right down the order and that was shown vs CSK as Shashank Singh and Marco Jansen accumulated 86 runs batting at number of seven and number eight respectively. This means the Sunrisers Hyderabad bowlers won’t get a moment’s rest and heads could drop if an opposition partnership begins to blossom.
The Kings did a professional job against one under-performing team in Chennai and are well-placed to do the same again here to another side who simply can’t stop losing right now. Back the two points to find their way back to Punjab.
