LIVE SCORE IPL 2020, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Kings XI Punjab Live Updates: That’s. Arshdeep left and SRH beat KXIP by 69 runs. Arshdeep hits Warner square halfway through and the inning comes to an end. A complete victory for Hyderabad, which has surpassed the Punjab team in every department.
Advance: Sunrisers Hyderabad faces Kings XI Punjab in match 22 of the Indian Premier League, in Dubai.
Unlike 2014, Kings XI Punjab have had a poor start to the 2020 season in the United Arab Emirates, languishing at the bottom with two points from five matches. They have lost their last three matches and overall they lost four out of five and won just one. It’s about time they upped the ante in a big way.
Their starters, KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal, have been in good shape and have consistently provided platforms for the mid and mid-low order, and will form the vital gear once again against Sunrisers Hyderabad. However, a lot will depend on how they approach Rashid Khan and the middlemen and this is where the role of the middlemen will become crucial. SRH have always had a good bowling team, but in their last game they ended up conceding 208 against the Mumbai Indians. Therefore, they will seek to recover strongly.
KXIP’s biggest concern is death skittles. Time and time again, bowlers have leaked races in the final stages of the game and lost control of the situation. A much better bowling effort is the need of the moment. Chances are KXIP could bring in Chris Gayle and Mujeeb Zadran as their hitting coach Wasim Jaffer hinted at.
“It should happen soon. Like I said, it should happen sooner rather than later. We don’t want to bring them in when every game is a must-win game. Hopefully we’ll have those guys presenting soon,” Jaffer said.
SRH, on the other hand, will be looking to achieve consistency in the league. They have won two and lost three of their five games and sit sixth in the table with four points. They lost their losing game against the Mumbai Indians. While the bowlers fell short of conceding 208, their order half faltered. Medium order consistency is the need of the moment, while bowlers need to get back to their best.
With both teams looking to get back on track, we can look forward to an exciting competition.
