Punjab’s last match was washed out in Kolkata where they had to share points with the knight Riders and are likely to play the same XI against Hyderabad. While their batting has been top-notch, their only concern will be Arshdeep Singh’s powerplay bowling with PBKS hoping that the Indian can find his mojo back as we delve closer to deep end of the IPL.
For Hyderabad, they are coming off a loss to Lucknow Super Giants but isn’t likely to tweak their playing XIs. While their batting lineup unlikely to change with big hitters like Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan and Heinrich Klaasen un-droppable, SRH might look to their relatively inexperienced bowling lineup. So in case, Brydon Carse is available, it’s quite likely that he will take an overseas bowler’s slot.
