Team Analysis of Punjab Kings
Punjab Kings is always a surprising team, having a group of international T20 players. The lineup consist of Jonny Bairstow, Liam Livingstone, Kagiso Rabada, Arshdeep Singh, Shikhar Dhawan, Sam Curran, and Sikandar Raza. The players of Punjab are consistent from the first match like Shikhar Dhawan, Prabhsimran Singh, Jitesh Sharma, Sam Curran, Kagiso Rabada, Shashank Singh but still they are not able to get the win consistently.
According to our cricket experts team, The main reason for inconsistency of Punjab lies in the lack of spinners in their bowling department. With only Rahul Chahar and Harpreet Brar as the primary options. This gap overshadow the batters’ efforts and increase pressure on the team overall. Punjab Kings need to work on their bowling department otherwise they have leave the IPL 2024 Title race very soon. With Bairstow comeback the team have a chance to elevate their top order. But, still the PBKS need to address their middle order to have less pressure in the five holer.

Team Analysis of Sunrisers Hyderabad
Sunrisers Hyderabad is one of those teams that has all best pieces of the game. They bought Pat Cummins for a whooping price of INR 20.50 Crore with an aim of having a better captaincy for the team. SRH has the best lineup consist of Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen, Traivis Head, Rahul Tripathi, Pat Cummins, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and T. Natarajan and it looks like a complete unit. This is the strength of the SRH lies in their lineup and in the same lineup we have seen the small loopholes which leads to the underline performance of the team.
The inconsistent performance from the batting lineup creates a lot of pressure on the team especially for the middle order batsmen. This is not just the case with the batting lineup but also with the bowling lineup. Pat Cummins who has a world class stats in the international format but in the IPL 2024 we have not seen a 3 wicket haul from him. Daniel Vettori , coach of the SRH needs to improve the bowling lineup of the team only then the team will be able to create more pressure on the team. Middle order batsman like Heinrich Klaasen who brought wrath on the ground should be placed at top order to give SRH a great headstart.
