Sunrisers Hyderabad: The Sunrisers have struggled this season against quality opposition, with their opening batters as well as their bowling attack failing to rise to the challenge.

Possible XI: Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan (c), Liam Livingstone, Heinrich Klaasen, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Aniket Verma, Harsh Dubey, Shivang Kumar, Harshal Patel, Eshan Malinga.

Key Stats

Punjab Kings’ Cooper Connolly has scored 72* & 36 in his 2 IPL innings.
Punjab Kings’ Shreyas Iyer hit 3 sixes in his 29-ball 50 against CSK.
Punjab Kings’ Vijaykumar Vyshak has taken 3/34 & 2/38 in his 2 bowling innings.
Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Heinrich Klaasen has scored 31, 52 & 62 in his 3 IPL innings.
Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Nitish Reddy hit 5 sixes in a 33-ball 56 vs the Super Giants.
Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Harsh Dubey took 2/18 (econ 4.50) against the Super Giants.

Match Analysis

The pitch in New Chandigarh promises to serve up a run-heavy surface offering reliable bounce and nice pace. The outfield is fast and will reward quality strokes through the gaps, with the powerplays being key to setting or chasing.

There will be some early life for the pacemen, and with the Sunrisers’ top-order struggles the Kings will be looking for early breakthroughs.

The Sunrisers do have some big hitters who can take advantage of the relatively small boundary, although there are wider and longer parts so hitters need to select their hitting areas with care. Scores over 200 are possible with a good batting effort, with an average innings score sitting in the mid-170s.
