Nitish Kumar Reddy had missed the KKR fixture due to illness, but is fit to play against PBKS on Wednesday. Reddy’s return will likely push R Smaran out.
Sunrisers Hyderabad (probable): 1 Travis Head, 2 Abhishek Sharma, 3 Ishan Kishan (wk), 4 Heinrich Klaasen, 5 Nitish Kumar Reddy, 6 Aniket Verma, 7 Salil Arora, 8 Pat Cummins (capt), 9 Harshal Patel, 10 Eshan Malinga, 11 Shivang Kumar, 12 Sakib Hussain
Nehal Wadhera has been short of runs, so PBKS could replace him with Shashank Singh. Shashank had dismissed both Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma with his dibbly-dobbly medium pace in New Chandigarh, and restricted SRH to 219. But he hasn’t been among the runs himself, and has dropped plenty of catches. He’s also recovering from a niggle, but Brad Haddin said he should be available.
Punjab Kings (probable): 1 Prabhsimran Singh (wk), 2 Priyansh Arya, 3 Cooper Connolly, 4 Shreyas Iyer (capt), 5 Suryansh Shedge, 6 Shashank Singh/Nehal Wadhera, 7 Marcus Stoinis, 8 Marco Jansen, 9 Xavier Bartlett, 10 Arshdeep Singh, 11 Yuzvendra Chahal, 12 Vijaykumar Vyshak
