Sunrisers Hyderabad Reviews
Sunrisers Hyderabad had now lost two matches in a row and their most recent loss came against Lucknow Super Giants by the margin of five wickets where they won the toss and made a strange decision of batting first.
The batting order of this team had totally failed to give the best performance and we also saw in the previous match that they could manage to score just 121 runs in 20 overs. Anmolpreet Singh and Mayank Agarwal are
opening the batting inning of this team but had not provided a good start in both previous matches. Rahul Tripathi, Harry Brook, Washington Sundar, and Abdul Samad also failed to give the best performance in this tournament.
The skipper, Aiden Markram was missing from the first match. He joined the team in the previous match but failed to make any impact. Rahul Tripathi was the most successful and highest run-scorer in the
previous match with 35 runs to his account on 41 balls with the help of four boundaries. Anmolpreet Singh also performed well and put some runs on the board. He scored 31 runs while he faced 26 balls and
smashed three boundaries and one huge six. Abdul Samad was the other batsman from their side who put some runs on the board. He remained not out after scoring 21 runs on just 10 balls with the help of one boundary and two huge sixes.

Punjab Kings Reviews
Punjab Kings had been very lucky in their both previous matches where they won by very short margins. They beat Kolkata Knight Riders in their very first match by the margin of seven runs and won their most recent match against
Rajasthan Royals by the margin of just five runs. They lost the toss and were asked to bat first. The way how their batting order performed in the previous match was just outstanding. They scored a total of 197 runs in 20 overs.
Shikhar Dhawan and Prabhsimran Singh are opening the batting inning of Punjab Kings and they had provided a good opening start in the previous match. They had a partnership of 90 runs for the first wicket in their most recent match.
Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Jitesh Sharma, Sikandar Raza, Shahrukh Khan, and Sam Curran are available to handle the top and middle batting orders of this team. The skipper, Shikhar Dhawan was the most successful and highest run-scorer
from their side in the previous match. He remained not out after scoring 86 runs on 56 balls with the help of nine boundaries and three huge sixes. Prabhsimran Singh also had an outstanding performance with the bat in the previous match. He scored 60 runs on just 34 balls and smashed seven boundaries and three huge sixes during his inning.

Pitch Report
The pitch at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium is generally good for spinners, as the surface tends to wear down towards the end of the match which creates more turn for the bowlers. However,
seam bowlers can also get some assistance from the pitch if there is some grass left on it. Overall, the pitch at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad is considered to be one of the better pitches in India,
and it generally offers a good contest between bat and ball.
