The SRH vs KXIP match will be a battle between two top heavy teams. That the batsmen have done more than the bowlers means the results have not been skewed. Most IPL teams look for 'balance' and on the generally slow wickets of UAE, the team with the better death bowlers have tended to prevail. Mumbai Indians is a clear case in point. But for a few exceptions, both SRH and KXIP have suffered on that count.

SRH is slightly better off than KXIP. David Warner's team has two wins from five matches while KL Rahul's Punjab has just one win to show from an equal number of games. It is ironical that KXIP have two of the leading batsmen of IPL 2020 -- Rahul and Mayank Agarwal. Their largely weak bowling has been their undoing.
Hyderabad's fortunes have revolved around Warner's batting. Manish Pandey and Jonny Bairstow have been inconsistent and that has put enormous pressure of a rookie middle-order. Pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar's exit from the tournament due to a thigh injury only adds to SRH's woes. Watch SRH vs KXIP live.
