PBKS have a concern with their top order as Jonny Bairstow, Shikhar Dhawan and Prabhsimran are yet to deliver collective and consistent performance. Sam Curran has played a good knock in one game but he has been average with the ball and his bat has not delivered in the last few games. Liam Livingstone missed the last match due to injury and his availability is yet to be clear. Bowling has been a bigger disappointment for PBKS with Harshal Patel not delivering according to his reputation as a death specialist. Arshdeep Singh is also struggling for form. With SRH posing a threat with their explosive batters, PBKS bowlers have to be on toes.

SRH on the other end, will look at Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head for another good start. They have found a combination that suits them in the top order with Abhishek and Head opening and Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen to follow. Abdul Samad, Shahbaz Ahmed and all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy are likely to be used as floaters. Captain Pat Cummins has been consistent and economical with the ball and he has received good support from Jaydev Unadkat and Bhuvneshwar Kumar. With T Natarajan not being at his best of forms, Umran Malik might make his way in the playing XI in this game.
