Toss Prediction
The PCA is all set to host its first IPL game of the season. The wicket here has been seen to be more supportive to the bowlers during the second period of play in the past few games. Moreover, since three of the last four T20 matches at this ground have been won by the side batting first, the toss-winning team might want to have a bat first. We predict the hosts KXIP to win the toss on Friday night as they have won the toss three times in their last four matches at the PCA.

PBKS Team News & Playing 11
Team News
Kings XI Punjab are free from all injury concerns at the moment and the team management won't be too keen on tinkering with the lineup, especially after their big win against Gujarat Lions in the previous game.
Key Players
Hashim Amla will be the best man with the bat for the KXIP. The South African opening batsman is leading the runs charts of the IPL 2017 with 299 runs which includes one hundred and a couple of fifties. He has scored 169 runs from the last two games and will be eyeing his third big score in a row. Axar Patel continues to impress with the ball. The left-arm spinner had claimed two wickets against SRH earlier in the season and he picked up a couple again in the last game against Gujarat Lions.
Recent Form
It has been yet another bumpy ride for the Kings XI Punjab in the Indian Premier League who started off well with back-to-back wins, then went on a four-match losing spree before registering their third win of the season against Gujarat Lions. They are currently fifth in the standings with six points and need to win their next few games in order to avoid getting into the danger zone.
KXIP Predicted Playing 11

M Vohra, HM Amla, SE Marsh, GJ Maxwell (c), MP Stoinis, AR Patel, WP Saha (wk), MM Sharma, KC Cariappa, T Natarajan, Sandeep Sharma.
SRH Team News & Playing 11
Team News
No players from Sunrisers Hyderabad were reported to be injured at the time of writing. So the team looks in good shape and it is unlikely that there will be a change of any kind in their current combination for this upcoming fixture.
Key Players
Skipper David Warner is hitting amazing form this year. He is averaging 56 and is giving Hashim Amla a tough competition for the orange cap. Moises Henriques struck an unbeaten 55 in the last game against RPS and this was his third fifty of the season. Bhuvneshwar Kumar will be Sunrisers Hyderabad’s go-to bowler for taking wickets. He bagged a five-fer against KXIP in the reverse fixture and his ability to swing the ball both ways is what makes him a big threat with the new ball.
Recent Form
Sunrisers Hyderabad are comfortably placed on the third spot on the IPL leaderboard with four wins and three losses from eight league matches. They have wins in all the four games they have played at their home ground but are yet to find their first win away from home.
SRH Predicted Playing 11
-
DA Warner (c), S Dhawan, KS Williamson, MC Henriques, DJ Hooda, NV Ojha (wk), Bipul Sharma, B Kumar, Rashid Khan, Mohammed Siraj, S Kaul.

KXIP vs SRH Head to Head
Sunrisers Hyderabad are way ahead of Kings XI Punjab in terms of head-to-head count with seven wins from nine matches - a healthy win percentage of close to 78. The former have not been beaten by the latter even once at the PCA. The two teams have met three times at this ground and SRH have won on all three occasions.
KXIP vs SRH Betting Odds
Sunrisers Hyderabad find themselves as favorites to win this upcoming contest among bookmakers. The defending IPL champions are 1.84 with Betfair and 1.80 with Bet365. This doesn't come as a big surprise as they have been the more dominant side against Kings XI Punjab in the past. KXIP have been very inconsistent since the 2015 edition and their inexperienced bowling attack has come under the scanner several times this season. So the hosts, despite having won two of their three home games, are outsiders at 2.04 with 1xbet and 2.00 with bet365.
KXIP vs SRH Prediction
Sunrisers Hyderabad have a tremendous record against Kings XI Punjab and they will be coming into this game with a five-match win streak over them. Plus, having a pristine win record against them at this ground is further going to lift their morale. The only thing that SRH will be wary of is that they have lost all their three away games so far this IPL, which in turn will give some hope to Maxwell's men who will be eager to capitalize on the momentum they have received by beating Gujarat Lions in their last game.
KXIP might have an outside chance if their bowlers are able to keep things tight just as they did in the last game. But given their inconsistent nature, it becomes a little too risky to wager money on them. The more balanced and reliable Sunrisers Hyderabad seem to be a safer bet and we predict them to secure their first away win of the season come Friday.
Final Verdict: Back Sunrisers Hyderabad to beat Kings XI Punjab in the 33rd match of IPL 2017 at 1.84 with 1xbet and 1.80 with bet365
