PBKS vs SRH Dream11 Prediction: 14th Match, IPL 2021

PBKS vs SRH Dream11 Prediction, Probable Playing XI, and Fantasy Cricket Tips of IPL 2021. Punjab Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad will play against each other in the 14th match of IPL 2021 at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai.

Punjab Kings:

Punjab Kings are having a hard time currently as they have won only one out of the three matches played so far and are at the 7^th position on the points table with two points. They had to face disappointment in the last game as they lost by six wickets.

Skipper Rahul has been in excellent form as he has been scoring runs from the top, but he has appeared to be very slow in his approach. After two failures, Mayank Agarwal is back to form as he scored a brilliant fifty in the last match. At No.3, Gayle has not scored much in the previous two games.

Deepak Hooda has been scoring a decent amount of runs at a reasonable strike rate in the middle-order, but Nicholas Pooran has appeared to be entirely out of form this season. Sharukh Khan has also been batting very well and performing the role of finisher very well.

The bowling department, which was doing a good job, appeared to be ultimately out of rhythm in the last match. They conceded a lot of runs and failed to pick up wickets at regular intervals. Arshdeep Singh has been picking up wickets consistently for PBKS so far in this season. Shami, after a couple of good performances, was too expensive in the last match. Richardson and Meredith managed to pick up two and one wicket, respectively.

The main drawback of Punjab Kings is that they do not have enough all-rounders who can bat and bowl, which is causing imbalance to the team.

Sunrisers Hyderabad:

Sunrisers Hyderabad had to face disappointment in all the matches as they have lost all three and are currently at the bottom of the points table. The bowlers and top-order batsmen have done an outstanding job, but the middle-order batsmen failed the team in almost all the matches.

Jonny Bairstow has been promoted up the order as an opener, and he batted well but was unlucky to miss his fifty by just seven runs. David Warner is batting well and scoring runs in every match. At No.3, Manish Pandey has been very slow and is creating pressure on the middle-order batsmen.

The middle-order of SRH has been a complete mess as they have lost all the matches from a winning position. Vijay Shankar and Abdul Samad haven’t lived up to the expectations and are struggling to score runs. The team tried various options like Nabi, Virat Singh, Jason Holder, Abhishek Sharma, but none seems to be playing well.

The bowlers have been putting up brilliant performance so far by picking up wickets and restricting the oppositions to a decent score. Rashid Khan has bowled exceptionally well but was unlucky to be wicketless in the last match. Bhuvneshwar has been conceding a lot of runs this season. Mujeeb-Ur-Rahman and Vijay Shankar bowled well in the previous game picking up two wickets each.

Until and unless the middle-order starts performing for SRH, they are likely to struggle in this season.
