The Punjab Kings will take on the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 14th match of the IPL 2021 on Wednesday, April 21. The match will take place at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai from 3:30 PM IST onwards. Here is our PBKS vs SRH Dream11 prediction, team and top picks. 

IPL 2021: PBKS vs SRH match preview

Currently occupying the last two places on the IPL 2021 points table, the Sunrisers Hyderabad and Punjab Kings will see this match as a launchpad for their floundering campaigns. Having lost each of their three matches so far - the only team to be struggling as such - David Warner and his SRH side will hope for the return of the injured Kane Williamson to give a boost to their struggling batting lineup. Meanwhile, KL Rahul and the Punjab Kings will hope to finally close out a match, having lost their last two encounters from very strong positions. Considering that this will be their first match in Chennai, the Kings will be at a slight disadvantage on Wednesday. 

PBKS vs SRH: Pitch Conditions and Weather Report

The track at this venue has been supporting spinners and slow bowlers through and season, with runs in short supply despite the new black soil pitches. Out of the last five games here, the chasing team has won only once, which is why the captain winning the toss is likely to bat first. The weather during the PBKS vs SRH match will be partly cloudy with high humidity, perhaps helping pacers a little more. Dew should not be a factor in this afternoon game.

Average first innings score: 160 (89 matches)

Record of chasing teams: Won – 35

Injury and Availability News

Kane Williamson's participation for SRH is likely.
