Kings XI Punjab v Sunrisers Hyderabad – Team News

Punjab have enjoyed an upswing in results since belatedly including Chris Gayle in the XI. That’ll likely continue, with the big-hitting West Indian a solid complement to openers KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal.

Nicholas Pooran will be key in the middle order, while it’ll be interesting to see if they select all-rounder Jimmy Neesham ahead of Chris Jordan again.

Kane Williamson missed the match against Rajasthan due to injury. If he has recovered, he might filter back into the middle order, leaving David Warner at top alongside Jonny Bairstow.

While Hyderabad’s batting is packed with international stardom, their bowling attack is lined with local talent and Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan. The inclusion of Jason Holder is a boost, too.

Sandeep Sharma, Basil Thampi and Vijay Shankar need to support Khan and Holder better, though, if they are to remain in the hunt for a second IPL title.

The Sunrisers can look to lean on Vijay Shankar and Manish Pandey again. The batting duo starred in the win over the Royals.

Kings XI Punjab v Sunrisers Hyderabad – Betting Tips and Prediction

Here are more betting tips for today’s match. They are based on generous odds offered by the best INR betting sites. Cricket betting in Indian rupees couldn’t be more straightforward.

Bet on Rahul to Be KXIP’s Top Batsman Again

Captain KL Rahul has been Punjab’s top batsman in a few matches this season so far. He’s priced at 3.24 with 22Bet to do so again. This could bring good value for your bet.

He has been in terrific form and now that he has assumed the role of wicketkeeper, too, looks to have an even better grip on conditions.

Select Sharma to Be SRH’s Top Bowler

The Sunrisers bowling attack has really struggled since Bhuvneshwar Kumar exited the tournament due to injury.

But Sandeep Sharma has bowled reasonably well in Kumar’s absence. He’s priced at 4.5 with LeoVegas to get this right. Sharma will probably need at least two wickets to be their top bowler in this match.

Pick Shami and Rahul in an Accumulator Outcome

We remain big fans of the accumulator outcomes 1xBet have on offer for this match and others. This time, they have Rahul and Mohammad Shami priced at 7.5 to be Punjab’s top batsman and bowler, respectively.

We’ve mentioned how well Rahul has been doing, but Shami has also been performing really well with the ball. He has won a few games for his team with all his experience and clever lines and lengths.
