Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings | Team News

Sunrisers Hyderabad

Hyderabad had all the plans in place, play only three overseas players if batting first, bring in Heinrich Klaasen if struggling with the bat, or go for big Marco Jansen when bowling. However, they got blindsided on a pitch designed to neutralize their pace attack. Sunrisers will come back to the more familiar environment of Hyderabad with two defeats in two matches.

Punjab Kings

Punjab Kings have won two without their full team with Liam Livingstone's arrival delayed and Kagiso Rabada having only just arrived. Kings' game seems simple with captain Shikhar Dhawan to anchor if needed, and others around him going big. There are two allrounders already in the squad, and Nathan Ellis cannot be the straightforward exclusion for Rabada after his five wickets in two matches.
