Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings prediction

Sunrisers Hyderabad remain in a top four spot heading into the start of the week, but only via net-run-rate, so every point is absolutely crucial from their perspective, as is reacting strongly to a tough loss. The SRH batting continues to rake, scoring over 200 runs in three of their last four and in their home stadium, you’d expect a pitch curated for batting and the hosts doing what they’ve done well across the tournament so far, smashing the opposition bowling attack around the field.

Punjab Kings are in danger of drifting despite being at the top of the table at the end of the weekend. They’ve now lost two in a row and the frustrating that comes from losing two tight matches decided in the final over could easily leak into future performances. With that in mind, backing SRH to edge a close one should be seriously considered.
