TOSS - Hyderabad have won the toss and they have elected to BOWL first.

UPDATE - Mayank Agarwal has been ruled of today's clash. Shikhar Dhawan is all set to lead Punjab today.

PITCH REPORT - Rohan Gavaskar is near the pitch. He reckons it is hot and humid and it's a used pitch and there are tufts of grass. Adds that pace would be the key for the fast bowlers. Informs that the captain winning the toss might choose to bat first.

Punjab on the other hand have done well. They have some serious firepower and we witnessed how dangerous they can be. They have also added Jitesh Sharma to their team and he has been quite impressive, and he just adds more power in the batting order. It’s their bowling attack that needs to perform slightly better if they want to get over the line here. Will Punjab stop Hyderabad’s winning streak? Or will Hyderabad continue their merry way? We will find out. Stay tuned for the toss and other updates.

Talking about momentum, Hyderabad definitely holds an edge over Punjab in that matter. It’s been a spectacular turnaround from them. After losing both of their opening games, they have won three matches on the trot. They have been clinical in all the departments of the game. Even though they were without Washington Sundar in the previous game, they managed to win the game quite convincingly. They will want to replicate the same here and will try and make it four in a row!

Hello and welcome folks! We are into yet another double header of the Indian T20 League. In the first game of this Super Sunday, Punjab will take on Hyderabad. There is not much that separates the two sides, both teams have played 5 games and have managed to secure 6 points thus far. With both teams filled with quality in their ranks, it will be interesting to see which team carries on their winning momentum.

... MATCH DAY ...
