Although there have been the odd low-scoring affair, this year's IPL has been a festival of run scoring, and plenty of them! This game brings together two sides who have plenty of big-hitting potential although in reality it is Sunrisers Hyderabad, the holders of the highest team total in the history of the IPL, who have shown it on a more consistent basis.
However, Punjab Kings showed off Shashank Singh in the last match and he took the Player of the Match Award as he produced his highest ever T20 score with an incredible 61 runs from 29 balls.
But that could be like a red-rag to the likes of Heinrich Klaasen or Travis Head for Sunrisers, both of whom are experts in making massive scores from a minimum of deliveries!

As a team who have seemed to relish taking on the inconsistent tag in recent seasons, Punjab Kings have done little to suggest they are a changed outfit so far this season with two wins and two defeats from their opening four games!
They have been competitive in all four of their matches and it was with only one ball left that they beat Gujarat Titans in their last game, in Ahmedabad last Thursday.
With a team which includes Arshdeep Singh, Kagiso Rabada, Sam Curran, Jonny Bairstow and Shikhar Dhawan, many are still scratching their heads as to why this side is not challenging at the top of the table.
Prabhsimran Singh has got off to good starts scoring quick fire knocks this season. He has piled up (35, 19, 25 & 26) 105 runs in 4 matches and has scored a minimum of over 19 runs in all the matches. We predict Prabhsimran to continue his good form and score over 18.5 runs.

It was a comfortable win for Sunrisers Hyderabad in their last game as they enjoyed a comfortable 6 wicket victory with 11 balls remaining against Chennai Super Kings. South African Aiden Markram stole the headlines away from the usual suspects (Travis Head and Heinrich Klaasen) with a half-century in the chase but he still could not take the Player of the Match Award away from opener Abhishek Sharma who hit a remarkable seven boundaries (3x fours, 4x sixes) in his 37 runs from 12 balls.
Under the captaincy of Pat Cummins, Sunrisers seem a more focused unit this season and their batting power remains the envy of all other sides. With the ball, they also have plenty of variety and experience, all of which will be crucial in this game.
The left hander has been on a terror path this season smashing opponent bowlers for fun. He has scored (32, 63, 29 & 37 ) 161 runs in four matches and in each innings he has scored a minimum of 25 runs. Given his recent form we back Abhishek Sharma to score over 21.5 runs in today's match.

There will be some cloud cover at times but overall it will be a clear evening with sunshine to begin the match. The temperature will drop from 32 degrees to around 27 over the course of the game.

Average TurnThere were 351 runs scored along with 15 wickets taken in Mullanpur in the previous 2024 IPL game here. We expect another good contest between bat and ball with a par score no higher than 190.
It is only the second match that will be played at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Stadium in Mullanpur. The total aggregate score in the first match played at this venue is 351 runs. Punjab Kings average score per match is 183.25, while their opponents Sunrisers Hyderabad's average score per match is 202.25 runs. Both teams batting unit have been incredible this season and expect another high scoring affair.
This will be the second game at this venue in this year's IPL and Punjab Kings came out on top in that earlier clash when batting second. Therefore, we predict that both sides will want to bowl first in this match.
With both sides on four points from four games, they will be of the opinion that this is a winnable match. Whoever wins this clash, will be right up there in the table, knocking on the door of the top sides and we expect the batting power of Sunrisers Hyderabad to lead them to victory in Mullanpur.
We are backing Sunrisers Hyderabad to win this game!
