Punjab Kings v Sunrisers Hyderabad – Team News

• Dawid Malan and Chris Jordan – The England teammates could be pushing for a first start this IPL after Punjab’s recent defeats.
• Riley Meredith – The Aussie pacer has struggled so far and has gone for plenty of runs after failing to adapt to Indian conditions. It would be no surprise to see Kings look to make a change.
• Nicolas Pooran – The West Indian has failed to fire this IPL and couldn’t take advantage in the last game despite Punjab’s openers building a good platform. Both he and Chris Gayle will be under pressure with Dawid Malan waiting in the wings.
• Kane Williamson – The New Zealand captain has been battling fitness issues but could be nearing a return for this contest.
• Jonny Bairstow – The England cricketer has been in good form so far and looked to relish a return to the top of the order alongside David Warner.

Punjab Kings v Sunrisers Hyderabad – Betting Tips and Prediction

This looks an interesting contest between two sides that haven’t got going this tournament.

Punjab look capable of hitting some big scores with the bad but weak in the bowling department.

Sunrisers, meanwhile, are strong with the ball in hand but have been found wanting once their openers depart.

Bairstow to Beat Warner to 10 Runs

Backing Jonny Bairstow to get to 10 runs ahead of David Warner looks a good bet in this game.

The pair are again forming a fine partnership at the top for Sunrisers but Bairstow is likely to be more aggressive early on.

He has been in fine form so far and is priced at 1.91 with 1xBet to get to 10 runs before his fellow opener.

More Wickets for Arshdeep

Arshdeep Singh has been excellent for Punjab so far.

His consistent performances have brought him regular wickets in the opening matches and he can continue to build on that.

Jhye Richardson and Riley Meredith have both struggled and Mohammad Shami has also lacked a little consistency.

While Chris Jordan could return to the side, Arshdeep looks a solid selection in the Punjab top bowler market.

He can be backed at 4.5 with bet365 and certainly represents good value at that price.

Back Mujeeb for Top Hyderabad Bowler

Mujeeb Ur Rahman has plenty of potential yet to be realised and can cause more problems for Punjab.

The spinner will be in good spirits after taking two wickets against Mumbai, including dangerman Quinton de Kock.

With his fellow bowlers looking dangerous, it would be no surprise to see Punjab have to take Mujeeb on.

His price of 4.5 with 1xBet looks worth considering.
