THE LOWDOWN
SUNRISERS HYDERABAD
- Only two matches in and already the heat is starting to build on Sunrisers Hyderabad, who have made a miserable start to the 2023 IPL, losing two from two and are now propping up the table on net-run-rate.
- The batting simply hasn’t been up to standard, the big guns within their order not contributing enough runs, summed up against Lucknow Super Giants when captain Aiden Markram was dismissed for a first ball duck in his first match of the tournament.
PUNJAB KINGS
- It’s now two wins from two for Punjab Kings, the opposite of their opponents with successive scores of over 190 batting first, followed by excellent bowling to defend their totals under pressure.
- Key overseas all-rounder Liam Livingstone will miss out once again as he waits to receive the green light from the English Cricket Board to travel over to India, but Punjab are expecting to have him available for selection very soon.
THE PREDICTION
Two teams in very different positions with differing levels of confidence. Sunrisers Hyderabad cannot afford to lose a third game in a row and will hope that home advantage can help them here. But when taking into account the performances of their batters, it’s hard to see them being able to score a winnable total whether they are setting or chasing a target, with them facing the likes of Sam Curran, Nathan Ellis and Kagiso Rabada. With that in mind, back Punjab Kings to extend their winning streak.
