Preview:

This season of the T20 League has been as bad as it has been good for both Punjab and Hyderabad so far.

Yet, both the teams have failed to convert the opportunities on hand.

Hyderabad, in 5 matches they have played, have won only two of them and are placed at the 6th position in the points table. Their opponents in this match, Punjab have fared even worse, managing to win only one match of their quota of 5 matches. So, it will be interesting to see which team gets another win to their name and shoots up in the points table, in what promises to be a cracker to a game of cricket.
