IPL 2023: Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings – Dafanews Match Preview

Sunrisers Hyderabad will lock horns against Punjab Kings at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad on Sunday. The Orange Army had lost their opening home game against RR by 72 (not considering their previous match against LSG). PBKS, on the other hand, has made a promising start as they have won both of their games.

We look at the current form, head-to-head, players to look out for, and squads of both teams in our match preview.

Last match result for SRH: L against RR

Sunrisers Hyderabad were thrashed by RR in their opening game and the 72-run loss had a deep impact on their NRR. Thus, it will be pivotal for Hyderabad to bounce back stronger against PBKS and tick the right boxes in the upcoming match. In fact, the Orange Army had failed to get going with either bat or ball.

Last two matches result for PBKS: W W

PBKS have played with an aggressive batting approach in their first two matches and they have been able to reap rewards for the same. The Mohali-based franchise will want to continue in the same manner and they will also be boosted by the return of Kagiso Rabada.

Head to Head: Matches: 20, Won by PBKS: 7, Won by SRH: 13.
