KXIP vs SRH, Prediction & Betting Tips, IPL 2020
Kings XI Punjab will bid for a fourth consecutive win when they take on Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 2020 Indian Premier League. The match will take place at Dubai’s International Cricket Stadium on October 24 and the live action starts at 18:00 local time.
Kings XI Punjab won just once in their first seven games – a run which included a 69-run defeat to Sunrisers when they last met. A resurgent streak of three consecutive wins, however, with KL Rahul in fine batting form, has lifted them back up the table. They go into this game after a five-wicket win against Delhi Capitals.
Sunrisers Hyderabad also go into this game on the back of a win, which also moved them to eight points so far. Jason Holder took 3-33 with the ball against Rajasthan Royals and Manish Pandey then smashed 83* from 47 balls in reply.

PBKS Team News & Playing 11
KXIP Team News
With Chris Gayle in the top three, Kings XI Punjab have been on an upturn in form and they could be unchanged for this match as they look to make it four wins in a row.
KXIP Key Players
- KL Rahul: Key with their bat all season in IPL 2020, he fell short last time out but has now hit 540 runs, including one century and five half-centuries.
- Nicholas Pooran: Scored 77 when these teams last met and his 53 against Delhi was key to their successful chase last time out too.
- Mohammed Shami: Moved to 16 wickets in ten matches so far as he posted tidy figures of 2-28 last time out.
KXIP Team Form
Kings XI Punjab have stormed back to form with three consecutive wins. KL Rahul and Chris Gayle both hit half-centuries in an eight-wicket win against Royal Challengers Bangalore to start the winning streak. Against Mumbai Indians, Rahul hit another half-century and, after two super overs, Kings XI finally emerged victorious. And the winning streak continued last time out, when Nicholas Pooran’s half-century led a chase of 165 to beat Delhi Capitals by five wickets.
PBKS Predicted Playing 11

SRH Team News & Playing 11
SRH Team News
Sunrisers claimed a valuable win last time out and, despite their high-profile openers falling short, there seems no reason to change their winning team for this game.
SRH Key Players
- Jonny Bairstow: Smashed 97 when these teams last met and, while he has not hit the heights of the 2019 tournament, he still has 326 runs this time around.
- David Warner: Like Bairstow, he has not managed to repeat quite the same feats as last season but he does still have 335 runs to his name at the top of the order.
- Rashid Khan: Still one of the best T20 spinners in world cricket, the Afghan icon has taken 12 wickets so far this season.
SRH Team Form
After a super-over defeat to Kolkata Knight Riders, Sunrisers Hyderabad got back to winning ways last time out by defeating Rajasthan Royals. Jason Holder took 3-33 to leave Sunrisers with 155 to win, and Manish Pandey (83*) and Vijay Shankar (52*) ensured they eased home to win by eight wickets.
SRH Predicted Playing 11
David Warner (c), Jonny Bairstow (wk), Manish Pandey, Vijay Shankar, Priyan Garg, Abdul Samad, Jason Holder, Rashid Khan, Sandeep Sharma, T Natarajan, Shahbaz Nadeem
PBKS vs SRH Head to Head
Jonny Bairstow smashed 97 in a thumping Sunrisers Hyderabad win when these teams last met – Sunrisers 11th win in 15 matches between the two. There is hope for Kings XI, however, given they have won one match apiece against each other in each of the previous two editions of the IPL.
