SRH registered a seven-wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders while Punjab Kings beat Mumbai Indians by 12 runs. Both the teams are unlikely to make any changes in their playing XI.
Despite the absence of Washington Sundar, Orange Army put on a stellar performance against KKR. The team has an in-form top order with Abhishek Sharma, Kane Williamson and Rahul Tripathi. Middle-order batsmen Nicholas Pooran and Aiden Markram have also done well in the recent matches.
Meanwhile, the team is also spot on with its fast bowling. Fast bowlers like Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umran Malik, Marko Janssen and T Natarajan are breathing powerfully with the ball. The only point of concern for the team is spin as Sundar’s absence has paved the way for an inexperienced spinner Jagdish Suchit.
Talking about Punjab Kings, the team has the deadly opening pair of Mayank Agarwal and Shikhar Dhawan. However, the same cannot be said for the rest of the batsmen. Apart from Jitesh Sharma and Liam Livingstone, all the middle-order batsmen are struggling for runs.
By including Bhanuka Rajapaksa, the team can strengthen the middle order as he did well in the first three matches. However, he is expected to give another chance to English batsman Jonny Bairstow.
