Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) will look to continue on their positives when they square off against the undefeated Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on April 19 (Thursday) at the IS Bindra Stadium, Mohali.

Meanwhile, Punjab will jump to the second spot if they beat Hyderabad. The visitors have won their all three matches, however, Punjab has all the capabilities to stop their juggernaut.

Punjab is currently in a good space with two wins from three games. However, Hyderabad has one of best bowling attacks in the tournament.

While 200 are easily scored, they haven’t conceded more than 150 in their three matches. But even SRH will have to be at their best as the batsmen of the hosts are in great form as well.
