Info:
- Shikhar Dhawan is the most consistent batter for PBKS. Even though he has not been at his best in IPL 2024, he still is the team’s best bet to top score for the side. With the ball, Kagiso Rabada has been top notch, taking six wickets in four matches. Back him as top bowler.
- SRH have many heroes in the team but none bigger than Heinrich Klassen who has taken IPL 2024 by storm. Klassen has been dubbed as the best T20 batter going around and has lived up to the expectations with blistering strokeplay. He has scored 177 runs in four games at a strike rate of 203. Back him as top SRH batter. T Natarajan, who bowls a lot of cutters, can be effective in Chandigarh. Back him as top SRH bowler.
- SRH are leading the charts of most sixes in IPL 2024. Given the quality of power-hitters in the team, total sixes for SRH in the match should be over 10.5 if they bat first. In case they are chasing, the target should be over 200 for them to hit over 10.5 sixes.

Pitch Report:
It should be a great batting surface, with the ball coming on nicely. The quick outfield will allow the batters to get full value for their shots. A high scoring game can be on the cards.

Team NEWS:
PBKS Team News:
Liam Livingstone missed the team’s previous game against GT due to an injury. However, he was not in great form either way. PBKS got in Sikandar Raza but he too failed to make an impact. There are concerns over the form of Jonny Bairstow as well. Raza should hold his place given his all-round abilities and one of Bairstow or Livingstone should find a place in playing XI.
SRH Team News:
Jaydev Unadkat and T Natarajan are very similar kind of bowlers and it makes no sense to play them together on a pitch that will have pace and bounce. One of them, mostly Unadkat, could be replaced by Umran Malik. Rahul Tripathi can come in place of Mayank Agarwal.

Winning Chances:
Back SRH to win. They have a better team on paper. The likes of Abhishek Sharma, Heinrich Klassen, Aiden Markram, Travis Head form a lethal batting while Cummins, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Natarajan comprise a potent bowling attack. PBKS have been inconsistent, especially with the bat. It will be a very big ask for PBKS to beat SRH who are clear favourites to win.
Sunrisers Hyderabad to beat Punjab Kings.
Punjab Kings a 63% chance to win this match
Sunrisers Hyderabad a 38% chance to win this match
Key Players:
Punjab Kings
Shikhar Dhawan
Shikhar Dhawan is the leading run scorer for PBKS this season so far, with 138 runs, but he has not set the stage on fire yet. Shikhar Dhawan is the heart and soul of this team and if he does not perform, it will be tough for PBKS to win a game.
Jitesh Sharma
PBKS could try something out of the box and promote Jitesh Sharma at the top in case they drop Bairstow from the playing XI. Jitesh Sharma is a clean striker of a cricket ball but he often does not get many balls to face. PBKS could give him a different role in coming games. If that happens, it will be a great chance for him to display his true potential.
Kagiso Rabada
Kagiso Rabada has been magnificent with the ball for PBKS, taking six wickets in four games. The pitch in Chandigarh will have pace and bounce and in Rabada, PBKS have a pacer who is a master of exploiting fast bowling friendly conditions.
Arshdeep Singh
Arshdeep Singh also needs to come good for PBKS now. He has blown hot and cold but has mostly performed below expectations. The conditions might just allow him to get his rhythm back.
PBKS Possible Impact Player Substitutes
Nathan Ellis, Ashutosh Sharma, Rahul Chahar, V Kaverappa, Liam Livingstone
PBKS could use Liam Livingstone as an impact player in case they don’t want to drop Bairstow. They could also use Ashutosh Sharma as an impact player. Ashutosh scored 31 off 17 and played a big role in PBKS’win over GT. In case they need a bowler, PBKS have Rahul Chahar.
Sunrisers Hyderabad
Travis Head
Head has looked in great touch. He has scored just one fifty in four games but he has got the team off to a blazing start in all matches. If Head stays there for a few overs, it could be carnage in Chandigarh.
Abhishek Sharma
Abhishek Sharma has been top notch for SRH so far. He has scored 161 runs in 4 matches at a strike rate of 217. Abhishek has looked to play aggressive cricket and so far it has worked well. The venue will support strokeplay given the fast outfield and bouncy surface thus Abhishek can have another great game.
Heinrich Klassen
Klassen is batting on a different planet it seems at the moment. Game after game, the batter has pulled off some stunning knocks. He has scored 177 runs in four games at a strike rate of 202, including two fifties.
Pat Cummins
The bowlers have taken a beating in IPL 2024 so far but Cummins is a very clever bowler. He can change his bowling style as per the conditions which is a very rare quality to have. Against CSK, he used himself well and bowled short spells, taking a wicket for just 29 runs.
SRH Possible Impact Player Substitutes
Washington Sundar, Glenn Phillips, Nitish Reddy, Rahul Tripathi
Washington Sundar will most likely come in as impact player. SRH have a lot of quality in batting but if they need someone to chip in with a few runs, Tripathi can be backed in case he is not selected in playing XI.
Team Forms:
PBKS Team Form:
PBKS have been inconsistent so far. They have played four games, winning two and losing two in IPL 2024.
SRH Team Form:
SRH have played ruthless cricket. The brand of cricket they play, there will be a few games which they will lose here and there. So far, SRH have played four games, winning two and losing two.
