Two teams who are enjoying contrasting fortunes in the early stages of the tournament are meeting tonight. Sunrisers Hyderabad are buoyed after winning their last two games, especially since they began on a poor note by losing the first two. Kings XI on the other hand, are at the bottom, a place they have been familiar with for some time now after their heroics in 2014.

David Warner has been SRH's mainstay leading from the front. Has his success protected their middle order which has looked vulnerable? They will certainly be relieved with Shikhar Dhawan's half-century on the other night though.
David Miller and Glenn Maxwell have been under pressure to deliver for a long time now and all eyes will be on the skipper yet again who is desperate for a win so that his side can move to mid table.
Sunrisers are unchanged and they are once again looking to bowl first. And why not? This formula has worked for them and Warner hopes to make the most out of it yet again. Punjab have made two changes though. Nikhil Naik and Rishi in for Saha and Sahu
