Sunrisers Hyderabad are in need of a win
Sunrisers Hyderabad have had a middling season by their standards and will know that their task is cut out as they take on King’s XI Punjab in the second double header on Saturday. They have performed below the expectations and find themselves languishing in the bottom half of the table. However, given the make-up of their bowling attack and the weakness in the Kings XI batting against spinners, SRH have better odds of 1.83 to squeeze in a win.
Punjab, on the other hand, have been ruthless in their last three games beating Bangalore, Mumbai and Delhi to redeem their season. While they are still some way off from challenging for a top four spot, Punjab look good enough to spring a surprise. That said, they do have a massive hurdle to overcome in Rashid Khan and their odds of winning this game stand at 1.95.

Overall record well in favour of Sunrisers Hyderabad
Kings XI Punjab might be the in-form team among the two but Sunrisers Hyderabad hold all the aces when it comes to overall head to head match-ups. The Hyderabad-based franchise has won 11 and lost just four of the matches against Punjab over the years. Since 2019 too, Punjab have lost two of the three games against Sunrisers Hyderabad
RECOMMENDED BET: Sunrisers Hyderabad have a strong head-to-head record against Punjab and it gives them odds of 1.83 to win this game
Earlier this season, when these teams met, Hyderabad won by a convincing margin of 69 runs, even making their only 200-plus total in the season so far in that game. Punjab, meanwhile, will need to pull above their weight to overcome their weakness against Sunrisers bowling attack.
Keep an eye on…
Rashid Khan: The Sunrisers Hyderabad leg-spinner is the most threatening spinner in the competition and poses a genuine threat for most of Punjab’s batting line-up. The leg-spinner will likely be used in the middle overs phase where Punjab have scored super quickly.
Nicholas Pooran: One of the quickest run-scorers in this year’s tournament, Pooran also has the maximum number of sixes and is best placed to counter Rashid Khan’s threat. Pooran can be an x-factor for Punjab in this game and will be banked upon to counter the Sunrisers leggie.
