Surisers Hyderabad are currently going through an invincible run and will take on Kings XI Punjab at Mohali tonight. The men led by Ashwin have won two of their previous three matches while the visitors are yet to lose a game in the tournament.

The flawless stewardship of Kane Williamson will be challenged by the mastermind—Ravichandran Ashwin in the 16^th encounter of the IPL.

SRH’s Manish Pandey and Wriddhiman Saha are yet to come out of their shells and offer something positive to make their team even stronger.

In the bowling line-up, Siddharth Kaul can efficiently team up with Billy Stanlake and Bhuvaneshwar Kumar to enhance their pace attack.

With a bowling attack so clinical, SRH will hardly want to make a change in that line-up. They have world-class spinners like Rashid Khan and Shakib Al Hasan who know how to turn things around in a T20.

Meanwhile, a record has left the door ajar for Shakib who will become the first left-arm spinner to take 300 scalps should he bag another wicket. With one more wicket he will also surpass Shahid Afridi to become the 4th highest wicket-taker in the format.

Predicted XI: Shikhar Dhawan, Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Kane Willamson (C), Manish Pandey, Shakib Al Hasan, Deepak Hooda, Yusuf Pathan, Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Siddharth Kaul, Billy Stanlake

Kings XI Punjab

Kings XI Punjab have taken the advantage of the pitch in both of their previous home-matches. They had some great batting displays in those matches and will try to continue with the momentum tonight as well.

Their batting line-up have become stronger with the inclusion of Chris Gayle who was perhaps raring a hit after facing after facing rejections during the IPL auction.

The onus will be KL Rahul and the Jamaican to set up the stage for the home side. Aaron Finch will also need to prove his ability after having scored two ducks in the previous matches. On the other hand, Yuvraj Singh could be axed to make way for Manoj Tiwary.
