King XI Punjab's position in the league is not good either.
The 22nd match of IPL 2020 will be played between Sunrise Hyderabad and Kings XI Punjab in Dubai today. With Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mitchell Marsh out of the tournament due to injuries, the Hyderabad team's balance has deteriorated. He has won just 2 matches so far this season.
If we talk about the last five matches played between the two, Hyderabad has won 3 and Punjab has won 2 matches. In the 2 matches played between the two teams in the GT season, both won 1-1.
Important responsibility on Warner and Bairstow
Sunrisers Hyderabad captain David Warner (Australia) and opener Johnny Bairstow (England) will be responsible for giving the team a great start. SRH skipper Manish Pandey has not been able to do anything special in this IPL 2020 so far. All 3 batsmen will have to score runs from above to relieve the pressure on the young players.
Bowling responsibility on Rashid Khan
With Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mitchell Marsh injured, spinner Rashid Khan is in charge of the SRH team's bowling. The last few matches have seen Rashid back in rhythm. In the last match against Mumbai, Rashid was one wicket quick with 22 runs in 4 overs. The team will have high expectations from him in such a match.
Apart from Rahul and Mayank, the rest of Punjab's batsmen are not running
Punjab captains Lokesh Rahul and Mayank Agarwal are in the top-3 in terms of most runs scored so far this season. But the poor form of middle-order batsmen including Glenn Maxwell, Sarfaraz Khan has become a matter of concern for the team.
KXIP bowling weakened in the death over
Kings XI Punjab bowlers are bowling brilliantly in the opening overs, but in the death, overs are not stopping their bowling team from scoring high. Mohammed Shami has taken 8 wickets in 5 matches and West-Indies bowler Sheldon Cottrell has taken 5 wickets in 5 matches. Ravi Bishnoi has impressed team management with his sharp bowling.
Mumbai- Hyderabad's most expensive player
The most expensive player in Sunrisers Hyderabad is David Warner. He will provide Rs 12.50 crore for the franchise season. Then there is Manish Pandey (11 crores), the other most expensive player in the team. In Punjab, Captain Lokesh Rahul is the most expensive player at Rs 11 crore and Glenn Maxwell at Rs 10.75 crore.

- Total T20: 61 on this ground

SRH won the title 2 times
