PBKS vs SRH Prediction: Given their form, there is no doubt that Punjab will start favourites against Hyderabad. While Punjab have won two out of their three games, Hyderabad has managed just a solitary win three games. For the unversed, Punjab is yet to lose a game as they had to share points with Kolkata after a washout. Abhishek Sharma and Heinrich Klaasen will be under the spotlight as fans would hope they fire and give Punjab a real run for their money at their own den. 

But again, the surprising bit is that SRH have historically had the wood over Punjab, but times have changed. Hyderabad has won 17 games against Punjab, while losing seven. 

In what would come as a relief for fans, no rain is forecasted for the game. In fact, it is expected to remain hot during the afternoon with temperatures hovering around 32–33°C, according to AccuWeather. With only a 2% chance of precipitation, fans can expect a full and uninterrupted contest.

PCA Stadium Pitch Report

Traditionally, the strip at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh PCA Stadium in Mullanpur have favoured the pacers. But because it is an afternoon game, the pitch is expected to remain firm and allow strokeplay. And as the game progresses, the pitch will start assisting the slow bowlers. At this particular venue, a total of 170 could turn out to be a winning score.
