Sunrisers Hyderabad will face the strong and in-form team Punjab Kings in their third match of IPL-2023 on Sunday. While Punjab has won both their matches so far, Hyderabad has lost in both their matches. Hyderabad has to play this match at home. In such a situation, she would like to open the account of her victory instead of a hat-trick of defeat. On the other hand, Punjab, captained by Shikhar Dhawan, would like to leave no stone unturned to score a hat-trick of victory.

Punjab defeated Kolkata Knight Riders in their first match. After this, he defeated a strong team like Rajasthan Royals in his second match. Hyderabad had to beat Rajasthan in the first match, while Lucknow Super Giants defeated them in the second match.

Weak batting is the problem
The problem of Hyderabad is its weak batting. Against both Rajasthan and Lucknow, this team could not even stand a respectable score. Against Rajasthan, this team was shattered in front of a huge score and was able to score only 131 runs, that too after playing the entire over. This team had batted first against Lucknow but could only score 121 runs. In the last match, his new captain Aiden Markram had returned, but he could not even open the account.

Hyderabad had the highest hopes from their most expensive player of this season, Harry Brook. But he failed in both matches. Last season's hero Rahul Tripathi's bat is also not working yet. Opener Mayank Agarwal has also not been able to do anything special so far. If these three do not work then Hyderabad will be in a lot of trouble. Anmolpreet Singh had opened in the last match. Hyderabad can make some changes in batting.

Bowlers disappointed
Hyderabad's strength is its bowling. He has bowlers like Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and Umran Malik. Apart from these two, there is also left-handed T Natarajan. But all of them have not been able to do anything special so far. Afghanistan's Fazalhaq Farooqi did well in the last match, but he did not get support from the other end. Hyderabad would like its bowlers to show the kind of game against Punjab for which they are known.

If we look at the spinners, this team has Adil Rashid who took two wickets in the last match. And then there is Washington Sundar. Rasheed's performance has been average so far, so Sundar has not been able to live up to the expectations. It is necessary for Hyderabad to play as a team and perform jointly. Only then can there be a possibility of his victory.
