IPL MATCH PREDICTION: Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings, match 70
The Sunrisers Hyderabad are ready to face the Punjab Kings at the Wankhede Stadium in their upcoming match. Both clubs are out of playoff contention, but they will be hoping to finish the season on a high note. The Orange Army defeated the Mumbai Indians in a tense game, but they will be without skipper Kane Williamson, who has returned to New Zealand to give birth to his child. Glenn Phillips is anticipated to take his place in the starting lineup.
Punjab Kings, on the other hand, have had a hit-or-miss season and a win today may propel them to sixth place in the points standings. Mayank Agarwal has battled for runs in particular, and falling to the middle order hasn't helped matters. His leadership has been amazing at times, but there is also a case to be made for his performance. In place of struggling Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Shahrukh Khan can get a chance in the last game.
