SRH WIN Jonny Bairstow may have stretched their chase longer than they would've liked, but have managed to secure a nine-wicket win - their first victory of IPL 2021. Punjab Kings just couldn't find the right plans in their first game in Chennai this season. Their batsmen struggled to come to terms with the pace of the wicket and were eventually bowled out for 120. David Warner and Bairstow provided a strong start and eventhough the end was delayed, they won with 9 wickets in hand 8 balls to spare.

Punjab Kings spinners have tightened the scoring the last few overs. SRH now need 21 in the last 4 overs. Despite the presence of Jonny Bairstow and Kane Williamson at the crease, could there be a twist in this run chase? Never say never in Chennai

SRH should try combo of Kedar Jadhav and Shahbaz Nadeem to fill out 5th bowler need. Vijay Shankar can be back-up for any pacer having bad day.

KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal have walked out to open the innings for Punjab Kings

TOSS: Punjab Kings have won the toss and elected to bat. Both team have made three changes to their XIs. Fabien Allen and Moises Henriques are set to make their debuts for Punjab while Kedar Jadhav has been handed his debut SRH cap.

Punjab Kings (Playing XI): KL Rahul (c/wk), Mayank Agarwal, Chris Gayle, Moises Henriques, Nicholas Pooran, Deepak Hooda, Shahrukh Khan, Fabian Allen, Murugan Ashwin, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh

Sunrisers Hyderabad (Playing XI): David Warner (c), Jonny Bairstow (wk), Kane Williamson, Virat Singh, Vijay Shankar, Abhishek Sharma, Kedar Jadhav, Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Khaleel Ahmed, Siddarth Kaul

Not much has changed for the KL Rahul-led side. They continue to delight and disappoint in equal measure and remain the ultimate unpredictables of the tournament. Sunrisers Hyderabad though, have a much stiffer challenge at hand - of bringing an end to their miseries on the slow pitches of Chennai. They will be hoping to have Kane Williamson fit for the game to solve their middle order woes and help the side to their first win of the season.
