The Sunrisers Hyderabad and the Punjab Kings will meet at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in the Indian Premier League on Wednesday. SRH are in third place, while PCKS lead the league standings. Let’s get into the match prediction.
The Sunrisers Hyderabad saw their five-match win streak brought to an abrupt halt on Sunday afternoon, when they suffered a seven-wicket loss to the Kolkata Knight Riders at home.
However, Abhishek Sharma and Heinrich Klaasen have been excellent for the Sunrisers, currently first and third in the Orange Cap standings, respectively. Eshan Malinga is their leading wicket-taker with 15 scalps in 10 matches.
Shivam Mavi has now been ruled out for the remainder of the IPL with a groin injury. RS Ambrish has been brought into the squad as Mavi’s replacement.
Meanwhile, after going their first seven games unbeaten, the Punjab Kings are now hoping to bounce back to winning ways following defeats to RR and, most recently, GT on Sunday.
Arshdeep Singh leads the team’s bowling department with 10 wickets in nine games, while Prabhsimran Singh is their leading run scorer in the competition with 361 runs in eight innings.
Shashank Singh has missed the last two games through injury and is a doubt for this one. PBKS beat this opponent last month, ending their five-match losing streak against SRH.

Our Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings Prediction
While the Punjab Kings are entering this match following back-to-back losses, they are still the league leaders in the IPL and made fairly light work of beating this opponent on April 11 at home.
However, SRH have improved significantly since then, and much of that is attributable to their top-order, specifically Heinrich Klaasen. The South African has returned for us in every match in this season’s IPL, and we’re backing him to do so once again in this one. Our Punjab Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad prediction is Heinrich Klaasen over 29.5 runs.
