The Punjab Kings are being torn apart by the Sunrisers Hyderabad as they have lost their formidable 3 batters in quick succession. The opening pair of Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh has been the most destructive one this season and they have failed to hit the mark today.
Shreyas Iyer has been their key to most of their high chases and this time, he has fallen prey to the brilliance of Eshan Malinga. The Sunrisers Hyderabad are well and truly on top of their game at the moment and they will be looking to pick a couple more.
The bowling of the Sunrisers Hyderabad has improved really well compared to their performances in the early part of the season. The form of Eshan Malinga and the addition of Pat Cummins are massive differences that make an impact on the scoreboard. The wicket of Marcus Stoinis and Cooper Connolly could be the final blows to the Punjab Kings and if they lose the duo now, that will be their final nail in the coffin.
Fans express frustration as SRH bowlers run riot with Eshan Malinga’s brilliance against Punjab Kings
The viewers on X have been disappointed with the batting of Punjab Kings as they haven’t been able to get off to a good start. They will be in a spot of bother here at Hyderabad, as things don’t seem to be working well for them. Here are some of the reactions on X:
Shreyas Iyer has a better PR campaign running around him. As a captain, he has conceded the most runs. Punjab Kings literally leak runs like water. https://t.co/ITZtNTw5Uo

Punjab Kings suddenly look fragile beyond belief. RR were also a team that won their first 6 games couple of years back and then went on to lose so many.

The Punjab Kings are on 57/3 after the 6 overs and they will be hoping that the partnership between Marcus Stoinis and Cooper Connolly doesn’t end.
