Preview

As we are approaching towards an exciting finish of the tournament’s League stage, Punjab are up against Hyderabad in a mouth-watering encounter on Saturday evening. Punjab are back on track and in some style by beating the table toppers by 5 wickets. They had a brilliant game with the ball, restricting Delhi to only 164. It wasn’t KL Rahul or Mayank Agarwal, but young Nicholas Pooran who played a match-winning knock.

In addition, Glenn Maxwell got some crucial runs and gained some much needed confidence. Their death bowling was outstanding with Mohammed Shami blazing all guns with his yorkers. However, they are looking good and ready for the number four spot in the playoffs. 

On the other hand, Hyderabad also won their last match and took crucial two points from Dubai. Similar to Punjab, Hyderabad also won their last match without any contribution from the opening pair and chased down the target by 8 wickets. They desperately need to win this game to keep their hopes alive for the playoffs. They are just ahead of Punjab because of better NRR with 8 points under their name.

The addition of Jason Holder improved their bowling and middle order batting with his valuable experience. However, Rashid Khan has been brilliant and all of their bowlers are doing well. The current Hyderabad team looks balanced and very strong on paper to get the two points from this game in Dubai.
