33rd match of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2017 will be played between Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at Punjab Cricket Association Stadium, Mohali on 28th April. This will be the first match at Mohali; Mohali is the home ground for Kings XI Punjab. High scoring game can be seen here.
This will be the 8th match for Kings XI Punjab, till now they had played 7 games and is with 6 points in the points table (3 wins and 4 loss). While they are coming with a win in this match after 3 consecutive defeats. Bowlers are the most inconsistent; unit comprises of Mohit Sharma, Sandeep Sharma, Ishant Sharma and Varun Aaron. They also lack spinners on their side. In batting Hashim Amla and skipper Glenn Maxwell are the most reliable one. David Miller is not able to score from the last season of IPL is major concern. Team had played with the same playing XI for seven matches; there is hardly any chace of team changes.
Sunrisers Hyderabad are at the 3rd of the IPL 2017 points table with 9 points; 4 wins and 1 abandoned match point in their 8 games. SRH had strong batting line up, more specifically to say their middle order is not really tested. David Warner and Shikhar Dhawan are performing well as opening pair. While SRH has the strongest bowling line up make them the most probable team for play-offs. They would be unsatisfied with 1 point they got against RCB as match was not played due to rain. Yuvraj Singh will return for the game as he missed the last game played against RPS due to illness.
