SRH vs PBKS: Hoping for a new start to their already topsy-turvy campaign, the Sunrisers Hyderabad would look forward to arrest their decline as they meet a ferocious Punjab Kings who are on song as they have secured two wins from their first two games.
The Sunrisers have faced some stiff challenges until now and as things stand, their gentry in the ongoing edition of the IPL has been all over the place. Their batting unit has remained as a major concern and as the days pass by, the woes keep on manifolding. They were confined to 131 in the first game while being left reeling at 121 in the second fixture.
Punjab Kings, on the contrary, have been banking heavily upon their go hard approach from ball one and somehow it has worked wonders for them in the first two games as they managed to drub the likes of KKR in the opener followed by the finalists of 2022, Rajasthan Royals. With Bhanuka Rajapaksa still to be certain after copping an injury in the preceding fixture, Punjab will be hoping to get a due replacement of the Lankan hard-hitter.
This will be a typical David versus Goliath clash particularly with the kind of form that Punjab has found themselves in. The Sunrisers can only hope for a miracle if they are to stall the inexorable juggernaut of the Kings.
