Kane Williamson would be missing this fixture due to personal reasons (birth of his child) and Bhuvneshwar Kumar is likely to lead in his absence.  The side snatched a 3-run win from the jaws of defeat against Mumbai Indians.

Priyam Garg played well after being promoted up the order and he would need to provide a solid start with Abhishek Sharma. The side would be happy with the form of Nicholas Pooran and Rahul Tripathi in the middle order, and they would look to build partnerships with Aiden Markram. Glenn Phillips is likely to come into the side as a finisher and he would look to add quick runs with Washington Sundar.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar did well in the last game with the ball, but he would need support from Fazalhaq Farooqi and strike early in the game. Sunrisers Hyderabad would also expect to see tight spells from T Natrajan who has been their best bowler this season. Washington Sundar and Umran Malik will have to put brakes on Punjab’s scoring rates given their batting strength.

Mayank Agarwal would be unhappy with the performance his side put up in the last game against the Delhi Capitals. Their batsmen let the side down in a 17-run loss in what should have been an easy run chase. This has complicated matters for the team, and they must win this game by a big margin and hope lady luck shines on them.

Shikhar Dhawan has been the best batsman for the side, and he will look to set up a good opening wicket stand with Jonny Bairstow. The side would be worried about the forms of Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Mayank Agarwal, and Liam Livingstone in the middle order and they will have to deliver the goods. Jitesh Sharma and Harpreet Brar will look to use the long handle well down the order.

Kagiso Rabada and Liam Livingstone did well with the new ball in the last game and the same would be needed from them. Harpreet Brar and Arshdeep Singh have done well in the tournament, and they will have to come up with their best performance in this game. Rahul Chahar has regained his form which is great news for the team and there would be huge responsibilities for the spinner.
