PBKS vs SRH Match Preview
Punjab Kings will face the Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Wankhede Stadium on 22 May in the last match of the league stage.
Both teams have mixed IPL 2022 campaigns and they surely aim to end the league stage on a high. Punjab Kings have a strong batting line-up with the likes of Mayank Agarwal, Shikhar Dhawan, Bairstow, and Livingstone at the top. All of them have played some match-winning knocks for their side in this competition. Liam Livingstone is the key player for Punjab Kings as he is the one who is hitting the ball hard in the middle overs.
Kagiso Rabada has been the front-line pacer for Punjab and he is well supported by Arshdeep Singh. In the spin department, Rahul Chahar has been excellent with his leg spin throughout the season for Punjab Kings.
On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad has definitely missed some of their former players like David Warner and Rashid Khan who were the main pillars of the side over the years. They don’t have an ideal season under the leadership of Kane Williamson but they will be hoping to win their last game of the league stage.
Abhishek Sharma and Kane Williamson have played some impressive knocks this season. Aiden Markram and Nicholas Pooran also have smashed some match-winning cameos but the bowling has been the main strength of Hyderabad in IPL 2022.
The pace sensation from Jammu Umran Malik has bowled some really quick deliveries in IPL 2022 and he has crossed the 150 kph mark in almost every game that he has played this season. He is probably the fastest bowler India has ever produced and he is a great contender to be a part of India’s squad for the T20 World Cup in Australia.
