Sunrisers Hyderabad and Punjab Kings will lock horns for the final match of the league stage of IPL 2022, on 22nd May at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.

SRH is at the 8th position on the points table with 6 wins while PBKS just above SRH at 7th spot with 6 wins and a better net run rate than SRH.

There will be few changes in the playing 11 of both the sides, since their last head to head match of this season, which was won by SRH.

Let’s take a look at the probable playing 11 for Match 70 SRH vs PBKS.

Sunrisers Hyderabad

Top order : In the last match, SRH rested Shashank Singh and gave Priyam Garg a chance which he took pretty well and opened the innings with Abhishek Sharma. Priyam Garg smashed 42 runs off 26 deliveries. He will be retained for the playing 11 in the last match.

Skipper Kane Williamson will not be a part of this match as he has flown back to New Zealand for personal reasons. His absence might give a chance to another Kiwi player Glenn Phillips who hasn’t got the opportunity in the playing 11 this season.

Rahul Tripathi has been impressive at the 3rd spot and will retain his position after smashing 76 runs in the last match.

Middle order : With Nicholas Pooran and Aiden Markram, SRH displays a strong middle-order line-up with Pooran, Markram and Washington Sundar. Glenn Phillips might join the middle-order along with them in this match. Markram and Pooran have the highest batting average in SRH currently.

Lower order : The bowling unit of SRH has looked pretty strong this season but with pace attack only. Their main spinner Washington Sundar has missed a few matches due to hand injury and struggled to find the form back after recovering.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Umran Malik and T Natarajan are one of the top pace armies of this season and SRH might go with the same pacers in the match against PBKS. Umran Malik and Bhuvneshwar Kumar ripped apart the Punjab’s line-up in the last face-off.
