Both SRH and PBKS have been reeling at the bottom of the points table and will be desperate for a win in tonight's clash. SRH's only win in this tournament came against PBKS and they would look to take heart from their previous meeting. PBKS, on the other hand are coming on the back of a shocking loss against RR. Punjab's over-dependence on KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal hasn't served the team well.
PBKS bowling in this IPL has been a big issue while SRH have a good bowling attack with the likes of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Rashid Khan and Sandeep Sharma to name a few. Team batting first is likely to have an advantage in this contest as both teams don't have a strong middle order and thus, chasing side could end up choking this game.
