Team Preview
Punjab
Mayank Agarwal's team is now in third position in the points table after a narrow victory against Mumbai in their last match. The openers rediscovered form in the previous match, which will give them a lift, but they are expecting a lot more from Jonny Bairstow, who can be devastating once he settles in.
Hyderabad
Hyderabad has won three straight games and is coming off a massive win against Kolkata in their previous match. So far, the Kane Williamson-led team has been nail on with their bowling changes, and T Natarajan has shown to be a fantastic death bowler. Rahul Tripathi and Aiden Markram are in fine form, and they haven't noticed Washington Sundar's absence yet.
Pitch Report & Conditions
Gujarat put up a large total on the board in the last game at this venue and successfully defended it with 37 runs in the bank. The team batting first has won both of the last two games at the site, thus runs on board might be beneficial if the bowling strategy is executed successfully. The captain who wins the toss, on the other hand, is likely to bowl first, based on the tournament's tendency. On matchday, the temperature is forecast to be approximately 32°C, with 57 percent humidity and a wind speed of 19 km/hr. During the game, there are no possibilities of rain.
