IPL MATCH PREDICTION: Punjab Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad, match 28
In Match 28 of IPL 2022, the Punjab Kings will face the Sunrisers Hyderabad in an entertaining match at the DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai. The Mayank Agarwal-led squad is now third in the points table after a narrow victory against the Mumbai Indians in their previous match. The openers rediscovered form in the previous match, which will give them a boost, but they are expecting a lot more from Jonny Bairstow, who can be devastating once he settles in.
The Sunrisers Hyderabad, on the other hand, have won their last three games and are coming off a massive win against the Kolkata Knight Riders in their previous match. So far, the Kane Williamson-led side has been nailed on with their bowling changes, and T Natarajan has proven to be a fantastic death bowler. Rahul Tripathi and Aiden Markram are in fine form, and they haven't noticed Washington Sundar's absence yet.
Match details
Punjab Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad, 28th match of IPL 2022
Date & time: 17th April, 2022, 3:30PM IST
Venue: DY Patil Stadium, Mumbai
Pitch report
The Gujarat Titans scored a large total and successfully defended it with 37 runs in the bank in their previous encounter at this venue. The team batting first has won both of the last two games at the venue, thus runs on board could be beneficial if the bowling strategy is executed successfully. The captain who wins the toss, on the other hand, is likely to bowl first, based on the tournament's tendency.
One of the nicest batting strips we've seen is at DY Patil Stadium. There's plenty of pace and bounce, and the dew in the second inning only helps the ball come on more easily. We could be in for a high-scoring contest between two clubs who have recently been in excellent batting form.
