Sunrisers Hyderabad performed very well in the first two matches of this year's IPL, but in today's match, they are batting at a target of 247 runs against Punjab Kings and Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma have made a fantastic start.
Sunrisers Hyderabad scored 83 runs without losing any wickets after the allotted six overs in the first powerplay, with Abhishek Sharma scoring a fifty off 18 balls. However, the target of 247 runs in front of Sunrisers Hyderabad today is not very easy. So if Punjab Kings cannot break the partnership of Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma in today's match, Sunrisers Hyderabad will win.
Well Punjab failed to restrict Hyderabad below the required and thus out of no where after a long run of five defeat in his recent matches even having one of high potential squad still they failed to mange things, but now finally they able to put his team on a track to make a positive progress. No doubt Punjab put a decent target on board but due to lack of quality bowling they unable to handle situation and thus through vital contribution of head and young abishek get the game singlehandedly for his team. Honestly most of Hyderabad fan were desperately waiting for abishek comeback as he has ability to won match for his team one-sided and that's what he actually does in today match and finally bring green results for his team
We are witnessing a tough competition between the teams in the IPL right now and at this time it is quite difficult to say which four teams will finally secure the playoffs. Even if the team that is at the very bottom of the points table performs well from now on, they will still have a good chance of capturing the top position in the points table. Initially, after seeing the performance of a few matches, I thought that Bangalore would secure the next round by being at number 1 or number 2 in the points table, but Bangalore's position is now at number 5 in the points table.
On the other hand, the teams that were not expected to have much hope for this season are performing well. Last night, SRH got an incredible win against Punjab Kings, so SRH also has a good chance of taking themselves to the top of the points table. Although some teams performed well in other seasons, this season every team is performing well and the big teams are performing poorly, in that case, nothing can be said in advance about this tournament.
