It will be a battle of bottom placed teams when Punjab Kings take on Sunrisers Hyderabad here at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Wednesday (April 21). Nothing much has gone right for these two teams in the IPL 2021 so far. The Kings will be looking to register a win and get to four points and get a move on from the bottom half of the table. The Sunrisers have an even stiffer task at hand, registering their first win of the IPL 2021.
Sunrisers Hyderabad would be looking to get off the mark on the points table when they take on Punjab Kings. With three losses from three matches, SRH are languishing at the bottom of the table. They would be desperately looking for their first win. In their last match against Mumbai Indians, the bowlers did well to restrict the opposition to 150. Later, they got off to a blistering start courtesy David Warner and Jonny Bairstow. However, they then suffered a collapse to fall short by 14 runs.
PBKS too are on a similar plane as SRH. They are just above SRH in the points table with two points from three matches with two losses and just one win. After getting off to a winning start against Rajasthan Royals, they have lost their way. They would be looking to get back to winning ways.
PBKS would be looking to improve their record against SRH. They have lost 11 of 16 matches they have played with a win percentage of 68.75. While SRH would be looking for their first win of the season. We can expect a cracker in Chennai.
