Team preview

Kings XI Punjab (KXIP)

KXIP’s campaign in IPL 2020 has not been less than a roller-coaster. At one stage they were struggling at the last spot in the Points Table, and suddenly everyone is talking about their chances of qualifying for the playoffs.

Chris Gayle arrived three matches back for KXIP and has turned out to be the lucky mascot for them. Nicholas Pooran and Glenn Maxwell also chipped in a few runs in the last encounter. Moreover, Punjab is coming to this clash after winning three consecutive games.

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)

With eight points in ten matches, David Warner-led Sunrisers Hyderabad is better placed than KXIP due to a superior Net Run Rate. Moreover, they registered a comfortable victory in their previous clash against Rajasthan Royals.

After failures from David Warner and Jonny Bairstow, middle-order batsmen Manish Pandey and Vijay Shankar performed well in that encounter. Their performance will help to boost their morale for their season ahead.
