The Sunrisers are bottom of the table, while the Kings are lurking closer to the top. Worrying signs for the home team are the failure of their aggressive openers Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma. While the home fans wait in anticipation, Punjab look strong in the big hits and could win that count.

- Hyderabad conceded the most 6s in 3 of their 5 matches this season.
- Punjab average 11.75 sixes per match, the highest in the league this season.
- Sunrisers Hyderabad conceded 10.20 sixes per match in the league this season.
Head to Head
Sunrisers and the Kings have played each other in 23 matches so far, with Hyderabad holding a 16-7 edge in wins over Punjab. That included winning the last three in a row, two of which were held in Hyderabad.
Encouragingly for the hosts, they have won eight of their nine IPL matches played at this venue against Punjab. That included seven consecutive victories.
Sunrisers Hyderabad Form
Sunrisers are bottom of the points tally with only one win and two points. Their lone win has come at this venue against the Rajasthan Royals in the second match of the tournament.
They were beaten by seven wickets by Gujarat Titans at this venue when they played last Sunday. The batters are struggling for runs, and their over-dependence on the openers has impacted them negatively.
Heinrich Klaasen (152 runs) has done his bit in the middle order, but SRH need more from their openers. The bowlers haven’t been any better, with Mohammed Shami (five wickets) being their highest wicket taker!

Harshal Patel missed SRH’s last fixture due to a niggle. His comeback may be a bit delayed. Kamindu Mendis could be replaced by a foreign bowler – Eshaan Malinga or Adam Zampa.
Punjab Kings Form
Ahead of Friday’s match, the Punjab Kings have six points and are fourth in the table. They won three of their four matches in this season, but their lone defeat has come at home.
They won against CSK by 18 runs in their last match, as teenage sensation Priyansh Arya (103 off 42) scored a scintillating hundred. Captain Shreyas Iyer (168 runs) remains their best batter of the season.
Punjab still have issues to sort with the ball, where everyone conceded at more than eight runs per over. The highest wicket-taker has been Arshdeep Singh (six wickets), but he conceded nearly 10 runs per over.
Punjab Kings Team News
Marcus Stoinis remains under pressure to retain his place with the likes of Aaron Hardie and Azmatullah Omarzai looking to break into the playing XI.

Verdict
If any team needs a refresh and reboot, it’s the Sunrisers. They got a week off and would have looked back at what’s ailing them. It wouldn’t be a miracle if they quickly get back to their aggressive best. That said, Punjab Kings have ticked most of the boxes and continue to be one of the top sides this season so far. Back Punjab to score the most 6s.
