IPL 2020 Match 22 – SRH vs KXIP Betting Preview

When you start losing, it’s so difficult to get back to winning ways and this is something that both these teams will keep in mind as we move into Match 22 of IPL 2020, where Sunrisers Hyderabad is in action and despite all their injury and other concerns, they begin as favourite in this game with 2 wins in 5 games so far in IPL 2020, losing their last game after winning two on the trot. They are listed at pre-match odds of 1.73 with 1xBet.

They’re up against Kings XI Punjab who has been good but they’ve thrown away winning matches and the result is that they’re at the bottom of the points table with 1 win in 5 games and a hat-trick of losses right now. The captain himself seems a little dejected and there are all signs pointing towards an increase in their loss streak today. They are listed at 1.90 with 1xBet but either way, make sure you choose live betting to get higher odds.

Batting picks

196 and 178 were the last two 1st innings scores at Dubai International Stadium so you can expect the runs to keep flowing. After a few scratchy games, David Warner spent some time out at the crease in the last game and we think he’s now a good option to top score again for SRH, at odds of 2.99 with 1xBet. We suggest so because he’s also IPL’s best record for any batsman against Punjab – 819 runs. He has 8 consecutive fifties against KXIP.

As for Punjab itself, the openers have done brilliantly. KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal have been really good but there’s talk of Chris Gayle being brought into the side in place of Glenn Maxwell, who hasn’t looked comfortable in even a single game. If this happens, the opening duo will have to be split up. Gayle is a player who likes to prove a point so if he’s picked, we’ll back him to top score for Punjab at 4.5 with 1xBet. If not, we saw Mandeep Singh play a spunky knock of 26 in the last game and he’s worth a punt at odds of 6.5!

Bowling picks

Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been ruled out of IPL 2020, so don’t pick him to be SRH’s top bowler. However, let’s consider some of the less popular picks who could do well here. On return to the side in Bhuvi’s absence, Sandeep Sharma picked 2/41 on a Sharjah pitch which is actually very good returns on that flat track and he’s brilliant value to be their top bowler today at odds of 5 with 1xBet. Like him, we think Siddarth Kaul is a good option even though he has smashed for 64 in the last game; back him at odds of 5 as well.

The Punjab pace bowling has been good with Mohammed Shami holding the Purple Cap for some point of time. Shami is favourite at odds of 3 with 1xBet to be their top bowler today but let us remind you, he has only 1 wicket in their last 2 games. Sheldon Cottrell is a safe bet at odds of 4 while the spinners can be the game changer. In their only match won, the spinners picked 7 wickets but in the 4 games lost, their spinners have a combined total of 3 wickets. Back Ravi Bishnoi to have a good outing at attractive odds of 6.0!

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Kings XI Punjab Betting

All the signs are pointing towards an SRH win especially since Punjab seems to be a little demoralised and since they aren’t even 100% sure on what team combinations they should go ahead with for the next few games. SRH has been giving team performances rather than individual ones and that’s why we’re backing them today, provided we get higher odds that what’s being offered pre-match.
