SRH Team News & Playing 11
Team News
Sunrisers Hyderabad have been dealt a major blow as Australian pace bowler Billy Stanlake has been ruled out of the remainder of the IPL 2018 with a fractured finger. The team management is yet to announce his replacement in the squad. Meanwhile, Bhuvneshwar Kumar missed the last game against the Mumbai Indians due to a back niggle. Basil Thampi is more likely to make way for him if he returns for this upcoming clash.
Key Players
Skipper Kane Williamson and Yusuf Pathan with their last spell against Mumbai Indians have maintained their form which if repeated could play a big role. Saha has a winning wrist but his duck in last game was disappointing and if he could work on it his team could get the right lineup. Bowling lineup at Sunrisers end has shone up in their last faceoff against Mumbai with every bowler grabbing at-least one wicket in his bag. Siddarth Kaul and Rashid Khan along with Basil Thampi are bowlers to look forward to.
Recent Form
Sunrisers Hyderabad have won four and lost two out of the six league matches they have played so far this IPL and are currently occupying the third place on the points table. They beat Mumbai Indians in their last game - the second time this season - even after putting up a meagre 118 runs on the scoreboard. They managed to restrict MI to just 87 despite being without their pace spearheads Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Billy Stanlake.
SRH Predicted Playing 11
Shikhar Dhawan, Kane Williamson (c), Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Manish Pandey, Shakib Al Hasan, Yusuf Pathan, Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan, Basil Thampi/ Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Sandeep Sharma, Siddarth Kaul
SRH vs PBKS Match Prediction
PBKS Team News & Playing 11
Team News
Kings XI Punjab had to make do without Chris Gayle in their last match against the Delhi Daredevils as the star batsman was suffering from some kind of soreness. If he returns for the next game against Sunrisers Hyderabad, the team might consider sidelining Aaron Finch who is struggling to score runs this season. No further changes are expected in their line-up.
Key Players
With first ranking in the standing, Kings XI has the force at its side. KL Rahul and his 69 in the match against KKR was a smashing performance. Chris Gayle's last 104 out of 63 scorecard against Sunrisers is still hot as coal among fans and Skipper might end up having a field day if he ended up scoring another century. KL Rahul, Chrsi Gayle David Miller and Yuvraj singh are a combination that can change things for the team. Andrew Tye has been a making waves and has become a player to look forward too.
Recent Form
Kings XI Punjab are leading the IPL 2018 league standings with five wins and a loss from six matches. They are coming on the back of four consecutive victories - beating Chennai Super Kings, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Kolkata Knight Riders and the Delhi Daredevils en route to their four match winning streak. They have been impressive with the bat, scoring in excess of 150 on four occasions.
PBKS Predicted Playing 11
Lokesh Rahul (wk), Aaron Finch/Chris Gayle, Mayank Agarwal, Karun Nair, Yuvraj Singh, David Miller, Ravichandran Ashwin (c), Andrew Tye, Barinder Sran, Ankit Rajpoot, Mujeeb Ur Rahman

SRH have an impressive record against the KXIP and they also have the home advantage on their side.
