The usually bowling-centric Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) has let its batting make an emphatic statement so far in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) season. This facet will once again be the focal point as Pat Cummins’ men take on Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium here on Tuesday.
The season’s only match (vs. Delhi Capitals) on Kings’ new home ground here was played on a black-soil strip that typically doesn’t offer great bounce. The ball held up a lot. It’ll be interesting to watch Sunrisers’ batting approach here.
Pace variation might work at this ground and Sunrisers’ seamers best executed it in its last match to greatly restrict Chennai Super Kings (CSK).
