Kings XI Punjab will take on Sunrisers Hyderabad in the league match of IPL 2020 aka Indian Premier League which will be played at the Dubai International Stadium in Dubai.
Sunrisers Hyderabad have lost three of their five games in the tournament so far and are in desperate need of a win in this game. The injury of Bhuvneshwar Kumar has left a huge void in this team’s fast bowling line-up and they will really feel that throughout the tournament. The top-4 in their batting line-up needs to take their team along as the middle-order is really inexperienced. Warner and Bairstow must give a good start to them in this game.
Kings XI Punjab, on the other hand, have won just one of their five games in the tournament so far. Kl Rahul and Mayank Agarwal are in the list of top-3 highest run-scorers but still, this team is finding it so difficult to win. The bowling line-up could not pick a single win in the last game whereas the middle-order is really unsettled as well. This is going to be a really important game for the Kings.
Pitch Report – This pitch has been decent enough for the batting in the first innings whereas it gets a little slower in the 2nd innings. The average 1st innings batting score in IPL 2020 in Dubai is 179.
