Both SRH and PBKS have to fight out for survival in this IPL 2021. Another defeat for SRH would take them out while another defeat for Punjab would mean that like Hyderabad, they would have to win all their matches and also depend on the results of other teams. Therefore, this contest is do or die for both the parties.
Players to watch out for: -
David Warner: This batsman is the pivot of Hyderabad's batting. One of the key reasons for Hyderabad's struggle is his lack of form. Even though it is a little late now, it is still not too late for Hyderabad if he manages to play up to his true potential.
Rashid Khan: With the match taking place at Sharjah, it will be the responsibility of him to limit the pace of their runs by giving big blows to Punjab at the right time. It remains to be seen whether he succeeds in this or not.
KL Rahul: The biggest weakness of the Punjab team is the overdependence on the opening pair of KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal. Captain KL Rahul's role is more important in this opening pair as well. Them scoring big runs will be a key for Punjab to win.
Arshdeep Singh: The way he bowled in the beginning and especially in the end against Rajasthan was commendable. In this match also Punjab will expect some similar bowling from him.
