In today’s IPL match, the Punjab Kings (PBKS) will take on the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. The two teams are at opposite ends of the points table, with PBKS being out of contention for the playoffs and SRH still in the race for second place.
SRH is currently placed fourth on the points table with 12 points from 12 matches, while PBKS is at the bottom of the table with just six points from 12 matches. A win for SRH would take them to second place, above the Delhi Capitals, who have 14 points from 13 matches.
The two teams have faced each other 17 times in the IPL, with SRH winning 11 matches and PBKS winning six. In their last five meetings, SRH has won three matches, while PBKS has won two. The last time these two teams met in this season was on September 25, when SRH won by five runs.
SRH has been in good form in the second half of the tournament, winning four of their last five matches. Their top-order batsmen, such as David Warner, Kane Williamson, and Manish Pandey, have been in good form, while their bowlers, led by Rashid Khan and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, have been among the best in the tournament.
On the other hand, PBKS has struggled throughout the tournament, winning just three matches so far. Their batting has been inconsistent, with only KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal performing consistently. Their bowling has also been a weak point, with the likes of Mohammed Shami and Ravi Bishnoi failing to deliver consistently.
In today’s match, SRH will be looking to continue their winning momentum and secure a place in the playoffs, while PBKS will be hoping to salvage some pride and end their campaign on a high note.
