Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will welcome Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad.
SRH is currently standing in the last position while PBKS is placed at the 5th position.
PUNJAB KINGS (PBKS) Analysis:
PBKS is on the verge of making their hattrick win in Hyderabad. Team performance till now is up to the mark. It is more appreciable that they are playing without Livingstone and Rabada. Livingstone is yet to get the clearance from ECB while Rabada joined the squad. Dhawan’s captaincy shows PBKS a road to get the trophy.
Punjab’s opening batsman Prabhsimran and Dhawan both scored half centuries in their last match. Prabhsimran scored 60 runs in 34 balls while Dhawan made a solid 86 runs in 56 balls and that too goes not out. Due to their large contribution PBKS managed to get 197/4 which RR couldn’t chase down.
Nathan Ellis made his day by taking 4 precious wickets of RR and helped PBKS to win the match by 5 runs. Despite being a long batting lineup of RR they couldn’t finish the things according to them due to well manageable captaincy of Dhawan.
SUNRISERS HYDERABAD (SRH) Analysis:
SRH is still in search of their first win in TATA IPL 2023. They will play in their home which might be a little bit helpful for them. Markram’s debut captaincy did not go well as they lost the match against LSG by 5 wickets. Their batting and bowling both are not up to the mark and they need heavy improvement in both the departments.
Harry Brook, one of the most expensive players in the auction still didn’t show his impactful batting in the two matches. He only scored 3 runs in the last match. Rahul Tripathi made 34 runs but took 41 balls to reach this score. He had the capability to score big without wasting many balls. Markram captaining innings starts with a golden duck. Lastly Abdul Samad like in their first match again finishes it right by making 21 runs in just 10 balls.
Fazalhaq Farooqi bowls economically and again justifies his role in SRH. Adil Rashid takes 2 wickets. Bhuvneshwar kumar takes 1wickets but gives 19 runs in 2 overs. Umran Malik also takes 1 wickets with a whooping economy of 11.00.
