Punjab Kings have lost each of their last two games by the margin of six wickets, although they came out of the more recent defeat against Delhi Capitals with more credit than against Chennai Super Kings. KL Rahul has scored 157 runs in three games, 61 runs more than Deepak Hooda his nearest team-mate. With the ball, Arshdeep Singh has taken the most wickets and has the best economy rate in the Punjab Kings ranks.
David Warners’ Sunrisers Hyderabad made four changes ahead of their third game against Mumbai Indians, but the batting collapses continued. In each match they have got themselves into winnable positions only to throw it away with groups and clusters of wickets. Jonny Bairstow is their leading batsman with 110 runs, Rashid Khan has taken 4 wickets with an economy rate of 5.33.
Punjab Kings are yet to give a game to overseas stars Dawid Malan, Moises Henriques, Fabian Allen or Chris Jordan. Sunrisers must be giving serious consideration to playing New Zealand Captain Kane Williamson who has been rehabilitating from an elbow injury, they also have not selected Jason Roy.

PBKS vs SRH T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, IPL 2021
Sunrisers Hyderabad will attempt to get their first win in this year’s IPL at the fourth time of asking when they face Punjab Kings in Chennai. Punjab Kings themselves have only got one win in the tournament so far, a four-run win over Rajasthan Royals, they come into the game in 7th position. Read on as we preview this clash of the 2021 IPL. The match will be played at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium and will get underway at 15:30 local time.
Punjab Kings hit a low point when posting only 106-8 against CSK, the game was all over before Chennai began their reply and they got to 107 with 26 balls remaining. However there was real improvement and cause for encouragement from Punjab’s performance against Delhi. There were runs for KL Rahul (61) and Mayank Agarwal (69) and they are clearly back playing better cricket again.
For Sunrisers Hyderabad, they will take heart from last year’s IPL when they won only three of their first nine games but still qualified for the playoffs. However, in their current form they are not qualifying for anything! They have match winners and world-class players in every department which means that their run of defeats must come to an end soon.

PBKS vs SRH Match Toss Prediction
Sunrisers Hyderabad have failed by chasing in all three of their games so far. If David Warner wins his third toss of four maybe he will be tempted to post a total in an attempt to change their fortunes.

PBKS Team News & Playing 11
PBKS Team News
KL Rahul’s side may be tempted to make some changes as only the captain has been consistent with the bat and none of the bowlers have taken more than 5 wickets. However, they showed improvement against Delhi Capitals so may give that XI another opportunity.
PBKS Key Players
KL Rahul - Last year’s Orange Cap winner has maneuvered himself into a good position to retain it in 2021. Even though some of his team-mates are not of the same standard, he continues to produce the goods.
Chris Gayle - The big man at 41 years of age doesn’t do much running between the wickets but can still hit a clean ball. He’s yet to strike a half-century this year but it won’t be far away.
Mohammed Shami - Opposition batsmen still treat him with respect and he has picked up 4 wickets so far in the tournament. The quicker he returns to his best then the better for Punjab Kings.
PBKS Team Form
After losing their final two games last year and winning only one from three so far in 2021, you certainly can not call them a form team at present.
PBKS Predicted Playing 11
KL Rahul (c) (wk), Mayank Agarwal, Chris Gayle, Deepak Hooda, Nicholas Pooran, Shahrukh Khan, Jhye Richardson, Jalaj Saxena, Mohammed Shami, Riley Meredith, Arshdeep Singh
PBKS vs SRH Dream11 Team Prediction, Captain, Vice Captain
Wicket-keeper
KL Rahul (10.5) and Jonny Bairstow (9.5) will be our wicketkeepers. Both have delivered the most runs for their sides so far.
Batsmen
David Warner (10.5), Mayank Agarwal (9) and Manish Pandey (9) are our batsmen. Warner’s frustrations may well be channeled into a century.
All-rounders
We’ve selected Deepak Hooda (8.5) as our all-rounder. He already has a half-century to his name and can produce useful runs with the bat.
Bowlers
Rashid Khan (9.5), Mohammed Shami (9), Arshdeep Singh (8.5), Riley Meredith (8) and Khaleel Ahmed (8) make up our bowling attack. With batting frailties on both sides it makes sense to pack the XI with five bowlers.
Captain/Vice-captain
KL Rahul will be captain, his deputy will be Rashid Khan
Bowler:Rashid Khan, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Riley Meredith, Khaleel Ahmed
SRH Team News & Playing 11
SRH Team News
After picking up successive wins against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders, it looks like Mumbai have found a team which suits the conditions in Chennai. However, there is still much room for improvement so a change to the XI may not be out of the question.
SRH Key Players
David Warner - Sunrisers Hyderabad require a siege mentality to kick start their season and there is no one better in world cricket at going out and performing when the fans, media and opposition smell blood. One half-century to his name so far, a player like David Warner will score big runs in this tournament.
Jonny Bairstow - Leading the runs for his team in the competition this year, Bairstow also kept wicket in the most recent defeat to Mumbai Indians. He has been in fine form with the bat in white ball cricket in India for the last two months.
Rashid Khan - Even if the rest of the bowling attack are not firing, Rashid Khan always delivers wickets and keeps the run-rate down. His googly causes problems in all forms against most batsmen.
SRH Team Form
Three defeats in a row in IPL 2021 have meant the strong end to the 2020 IPL season now seems like a distant memory. They need to find a win by hook or by crook!
SRH Predicted Playing 11
David Warner (c) , Jonny Bairstow (wk), Manish Pandey, Kane Williamson, Virat Singh, Vijay Sankar, Abhishek Sharma, Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Shahbaz Nadeem, Khaleel Ahmed

Who will win PBKS vs CSK IPL T20 Match?
KL Rahul and David Warner will be there at the start of the innings and are expected to go big
We are backing KL Rahul, Chris Gayle and Mayank Agarwal with the bat for Punjab Kings. Rahul continues to bat at a far superior level from his team-mates.
For Sunrisers Hyderabad we are backing David Warner, Jonny Bairstow and Kane Williamson. With not many runs coming from the middle and lower order the onus is very much on these three.
We are backing Mohammed Shami, Jhye Richardson and Arshdeep Singh to cause problems for the Sunrisers Hyderabad batsmen. Singh has led the way and could do with some assistance from the more experienced bowlers.
For Sunrisers Hyderabad we have gone with Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Khaleel Ahmed. Khan is used to carrying a side but could do with the batsmen backing him up.
Whenever the bottom sides meet you know that confidence will be in short supply in both camps. However, we think the likes of Bairstow and Warner have the character to grit their teeth and finally grind out a victory for Sunrisers Hyderabad in this game.

KL Rahul, David Warner and Manish Pandey nearing Milestones
KL Rahul need 1 run to reach 5000 T20 runs overall. He is one six away from 200 sixes in T20 format. David Warner will become first batsman to score 50 IPL fifties if he scores more than 50 runs. Manish Pandey will be playing his 150th IPL match and need 2 sixes to reach 100 IPL sixes.
09:53 am | 21-04-2021
World's No.1 T20 batsman might make IPL debut for Punjab Kings
Dawid Malan who has been sidelined for the first three games can make his IPL debut for Punjab Kings in today's game. The Universe Boss Chris Gayle and Nicolas Pooran have not been in good touch so far and therefore Punjab might tinker with their Playing X1. Dawid Malan is topping the ranking charts for T20 batsman in international cricket.
