Kings XI Punjab: Axar Patel, who missed the game against CSK, confirmed that he has a left thigh strain. He expressed hope that he can be back in contention after a couple of matches. Aaron Finch’s golden ducks in the last two matches notwithstanding, he’s likely to get another run. There is also a case for Manoj Tiwary to be brought in to replace Yuvraj Singh, who has looked off colour.
Probable XI: KL Rahul, Chris Gayle, Mayank Agarwal, Aaron Finch, Yuvraj Singh/Manoj Tiwary, Karun Nair, Ravichandran Ashwin (c), Andrew Tye, Barinder Sran, Mohit Sharma, Mujeeb Ur Rahman.
Sunrisers Hyderabad: The visiting side are unlikely to tinker with their combination that has given them three wins. Sandeep Sharma only got a game against Mumbai Indians due to an injury to Bhuvneshar Kumar. However, once the lead pacer was fit, Sandeep had to make way despite a good showing. SRH are likely to remain unchanged for the game.
Probable XI: Wriddhiman Saha, Shikhar Dhawan, Kane Williamson (c), Manish Pandey, Shakib Al Hasan, Deepak Hooda, Yusuf Pathan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Rashid Khan, Siddarth Kaul, Billy Stanlake.
