This Punjab Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad prediction preview looks ahead to the IPL group match played in India. The Punjab Kings have made a superb start to their season, winning their opening 2 matches and having the Knight Riders in trouble at 25/2 in the 4th over before rain ended the contest.

The Sunrisers picked up a big win over the struggling Knight Riders, but that victory came either side of two 5-wicket-plus defeats.

Team News


Punjab Kings: With an unbeaten record and home ground advantage, the Kings are unlikely to look to make any changes in a match they will be expecting to win. 

Possible XI: Prabhsimran Singh, Priyansh Arya, Cooper Connolly, Shreyas Iyer (c), Nehal Wadhera,  Shashank Singh, Marcus Stoinis, Marco Jansen, Vyshak Vijaykumar, Xavier Bartlett, Arshdeep Singh.

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.

Betting Markets to Watch


Score Over/Under Runs 

Heinrich Klaasen hasn’t scored under 29 in his last 5 innings and has topped 30 in all 3 of his IPL innings this season. Cooper Connolly has scored 108 runs in 2 innings this season (S/R 163.63) with scores of 72* and 36 so he’s worth backing to score over 28 runs against the Sunrisers.

Best Bowler

Vijaykumar Vyshak has starred with the ball for the Punjab Kings, picking up figures of 3/34 and 2/38 in their 2 bowling innings this season. Harsh Dubey was superb in his last match (4-0-18-2) after picking up 1/35 and 1/17 in his previous 2 matches.
