IPL 2020 | KXIP vs SRH: Match Preview, Predicted XI & Dream11 Fantasy Picks

Onecricket


The second clash of the Saturday, October 24 will be between two resurgent teams who have been eyeing elusive spots in the top four on the points table in the Indian Premier League 2020. While the Kings XI Punjab have been on the patch to recovery after beating the top two teams of the season in Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals in consecutive games, the Sunrisers have been showing signs of peaking in performances with batsmen taking the control of the game even without match-winning contributions by David Warner and Jonny Bairstow.


KL Rahul has been on song with the bat right throughout the season and Mayank Agarwal has not looked any weaker at the other end. The inclusion of Chris Gayle has solidified the outlook of the middle order and with Nicholas Pooran coming off in the middle order augurs well for the team going into the phase of the tournament where every win and loss will matter dearly to the team which always has carried the tag of ‘underachiever’ in the history of IPL and KL Rahul will be reminding his players about the challenges they are facing and may come up against going deeper towards the knockouts stage. The team will have to take one game at a time and put on performances like their lives are dependent on a particular game if they have to stake claim to one spot in top four on the points table.


The bowling department looks promising as ever with Mohammed Shami being successful in maintaining the rhythm he was in at the start of the innings. He has shown signs of coming off age and on the day when KL Rahul had handed over the task to defend a score that deemed to be undefendable, Shami outshone Jasprit Bumrah to snatch the match away from the Mumbai Indians.


On the other hand, David Warner’s Sunrisers Hyderabad showed signs of stabilising after finding out a few combinations that have yielded results for the team. The inclusion of Vijay Shankar in the last game proved to be crucial as the all-rounder showed exemplary calmness under pressure after the early loss of both Warner and Bairstow. Manish Pandey turned back the clock in the IPL and showed the capability he was once showing in KKR Colours to take the game away from the Rajasthan Royals in the last over. Warner was ecstatic at the splendid match-winning partnership by Vijay Shankar and Manish Pandey in the last game and it showed how much he had missed solidity and valuable contributions from batsmen batting below him and Bairstow.


Both the sides have been blamed for losing games that they were supposed to win and from situations when all looked comfortable. Both these sides were part of the two games of last Sunday that went down to the super over when they looked all set to seize the game. The sides have not been able to unlock their potentials but the Kings XI Punjab are looking like men on a mission after outshine the Mumbai and Delhi sides in the back-to-back games. Apart from playing super overs on the last Sunday, both the sides secured their last wins on the back of impressive bowling and dominant performances from the batsmen in the middle order. Nicholas Pooran did the job brilliantly for the Kings XI while Manish Pandey and Vijay Shankar scripted a near annihilation of the Royals after Jason Holder’s discipline proved too costly for the Royals to contain while batting.

Team news

Kings XI Punjab

KL Rahul’s side finally achieved the target of finding an eleven that gave the team a much-sought balance after a long struggle and it is highly unlikely that he will want to change it against the Sunrisers. However, the inclusion of James Neesham in the last match in place of Chris Jordan who had bowled brilliantly in the second super over in the match preceding the last game against the Mumbai Indians but Neesham did not do any harm to his reputation as he scalped Prithvi Shaw in his first spell in the last game.

Expected XI

KL Rahul (c & wk), Mayank Agarwal, Chris Gayle, Nicholas Pooran, Glenn Maxwell, Deepak Hooda, James Neesham/Chris Jordan, Murugan Ashwin, Mohammed Shami, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh

Sunrisers Hyderabad

Like the Kings XI, the Sunrisers too tasted success after a long time and trying far too many options and are likely to continue with the same XI in the game against Punjab. Jason Holder’s addition proved to be a masterstroke and captain Warner called him an all-round package after the end of the game The Sunrisers will rely on him once again to strike early in the innings as Punjab’s top order has been in a top-notch form.

Expected XI

David Warner (c), Jonny Bairstow (wk), Priyam Garg, Manish Pandey, Vijay Shankar, Abdul Samad, Jason Holder, Rashid Khan, Shahbaz Nadeem, Sandeep Sharma, T Natarajan

What experts said as Manish Pandey, Vijay Shankar punish listless Royals

The Sunrisers Hyderabad put on a clinical performance to trounce the Rajasthan Royals by eight wickets in a crucial encounter of the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League. The men in orange were chasing a modest total but lost two early wickets in the form of Jonny Bairstow and David Warner. Then, Manish Pnadey and Vijay Shankar teamed up to take the game away from the Royals. Here is a compilation of what readers of the game had to say about the match between the Royals and the Sunrisers. Captains’ take The losing captain Steve Smith was all praise for Steve Smith in the post-match interaction with Simon Doull. On the question of the outlook of the bowling performance from the team, Smith said that they had made a really good start but Manish Pandey took the game away from them albeit with some help from due. Discussing the possibility of giving Archer a third over on the trott to attack Manish Pandey early in his innings, Smith said that the option was on his mind and he had discussion with his teammates as well before deciding against it. However, with the benefit of hindsight, he said that he could well have given him the third straight over. The winning captain David Warner was pleased with the performance and said that the game was just the sort of performance the team has been expecting for a long time. He also showed a bit of frustration about his batting and getting out in similar ways. "It was a stunning performance. Starts with the toss where you questioned my decision to chase. We were able to bring them back after Powerplay. All in all, the kind of game we were asking for. I was frustrated in these games because in these games against world-class bowlers, when there is a bit of seam or swing. And it is jagging at 150ks. And you are trying to get through the over. And the edge goes straight to hand,” Warner said in the post-match presentation ceremony. Warner was impressed by what Jason Holder offers to the Sunrisers team and he said that the Windies captain is an all round package and the amount of experience he brings to the table is invaluable. “Jason adds an extra string to our bow. His height. His experience. And he couldn't bat today, but he is an all-round package,” Warner added. Warner was also expressive about the fact that his team is showing signs of having a much-improved middle order after the batsmen at the number three and four positions led the team to this win. “ It is just great to show people that we do have a middle order. For them to come out and play like this, I am so happy for them. They showed they can build a platform for us to get across the line. Or set a big total. I am chuffed for them. Discussing his decision to chase against the Royals, Warner added that although the Sunrisers are a better team at defending totals, he made his decisions based on the outcome of the last two games along with cooler weather and a possible onset of due in the latter half of the game. “We probably are a better defending team, but my decision to chase was based on the last two games. And the weather is cooler, with dew around, it might be flipping around for everyone," Warner added in his defence to field first. Experts’ take Cricket commentators tried to show the audience about the equality of the game and how it balances players in different situations. He saw Ben Stokes struggling to get going and expected that a break free shot was around the corner. When Saju Samson got out to Holder in search of quick runs, the blame was on Stokes in Harsha’s views as the youngster tried to make up for a struggling batsman at the other end. Harsha was highly impressed by Manish Pandey’s composure and the experience he brought on the field by guiding the team to a win after taking control of the game in the first over of the game. Vijay Shnakr wasn’t too far behind in the Harsha’s list of optimis for the Sunrisers and he said that Shankr should be batting at the number four position in the orange line up as an Indian batsman. Cricket analyst and former Indian opener Aakash Chopra took out a piece of stats to show the level of Stokes’ struggle in the IPL 2020 so far as the left-hander has joined the list of batsmen who have not hit six after playing a considerably higher number of balls. He was also left puzzled with Rajasthan's batting order and had suggested a par score on the pitch. The showstopper of the night--Mans=ish Pandey was also on the highlight of Aakash Chopra and he rated his inning as one of the best he has played in the IPL history.

Veteran cricket journalist Ayaz Memon came down hard on the famous trio of Butter, Smith and Stokes and pointed out that the Royals failed to seize the momentum after the 10th over mark when the team was 74/1. He also commended Jofra Archer for a ‘torrid’ spell of bowling but said tha the score put on by the Royals was way below the par score on the Dubai’s pitch.
