Aiming for a strong target, Punjab Kings (PBKS) are six wickets down vs Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Match 14 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 season, at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Friday. Fabian Allen and Shahrukh Khan are currently batting for Punjab, and are trying to build a partnership. Meanwhile, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Abhishek Sharma, Vijay Shankar, Rashid Khan, and Khaleel Ahmed have taken a wicket each for SRH.
Bruised and battered after suffering a hat-trick of defeats, a desperate Sunrisers Hyderabad would seek inspiration from skipper David Warner to arrest any further slide when they take on Punjab Kings in an IPL match on Wednesday.
SRH couldn’t have asked for a worse start to the season as they slumped to three straight defeats, and on all occasions while chasing. Punjab is a tad better than SRH, having registered one win out of three games to be placed at seventh in the standings, a rung above their Wednesday’s opponents.
Chasing has been Sunrisers’ Achilles heel so far in the league. They failed to get past a low score against Mumbai Indians in their last match. SRH has been hit hard by the lack of depth in their playing XI and below-par Indian bench strength. In these circumstances, the onus rests on Warner to do some magic and inspire his side to bounce back in the tournament.
