Monday’s IPL action sees Kings XI Punjab host Sunrisers Hyderabad in Match 22 and both sides are looking to bounce back from defeats at the weekend.
Kings XI Punjab
Kings XI’s most recent match saw them visit the Super Kings on Saturday and they went down by 22 runs. They came up short when chasing 161 for victory despite 67 from Sarfaraz and 55 from Rahul. Kings XI now have 3 wins and 2 defeats against their name and they return to Mohali where they have won 2 from 2. In Match 13 they pulled off a dramatic 14 run victory at home to Delhi Capitals who collapsed in losing their last 7 wickets for just 8 runs. Sam Curran was a hat trick hero for KXP, returning outstanding figures of 4/11 in 2.2 overs. KXP also completed an 8 wicket home win over Mumbai Indians at this venue.
Sunrisers Hyderabad
The Sunrisers were away to Mumbai Indians on Saturday, they were chasing a fourth consecutive win but they collapsed to 96 all out when chasing 137 in a 40 run defeat. They also have 3 wins and 2 defeats against their name and other away fixtures saw the Sunrisers lose at the Knight Riders by 6 wickets and their sole away victory came by a 5 wicket margin at Delhi.
Bairstow and opening partner David Warner had been in terrific form up until the weekend and at the time of writing the Sunrisers still had the best net run rate in the tournament.

Betting Angle
This looks a difficult match to call so we look to the Player Performance markets for a selection. Lokesh Rahul, the KXP wicket keeper who opens the batting, made good runs on a tough surface in Chennai and with 1 point awarded per run, 10 points per catch and 25 points per stumping he is on the radar to beat a current quote of 37.5.
Bet: Player Performance Kl Rahul Over 37.5 points at 17/20
