Back to their winning ways after sucessive victories, a rejuvenated Sunrisers Hyderabad will look to continue their good run when they take on laggards Kings XI Punjab in an IPl T20 clash at the Rajiv Gandhi International stadium here on Saturday.
After losing two games in a row, Hyderabad made a quick turnaround in their fortunes by scoring two stupendous wins in their last two matches - against Mumbai Indians (by 7 wickets) and Gujarat lions (by 10 wickets) on Thursday.
Despite injuries to its key players, including Yuvraj Singh, Ashish Nehra and Kane Williamson, the Hyderabad side has been on a high with the team clicking collectively during the last two matches.
SRH captain and the swashbuckling Australian batsman David Warner has been in great form, having made unbeaten 74 in 48 balls against Gujarat yesterday and 90 not out in the contest against Mumbai.
The other SRH batsmen, including Moises Henriques, Eoin Morgan and wicket-keeper batsman Naman Ojha, have also been making useful contributions to the side in crucial situations.
The KXIP batting has not been very consistent so far with only Vohra putting up decent scores and others falling short of expectations. Needless to say, the Punjab side needs to pull up its socks and its batsmen, including Miller, Maxwell and Vohra, have to come out with all cylinders blazing to pose any challenge to Hyderabad.
