Sunrisers Hyderabad so far in IPL 2020

5 games, 2 losses, 2 wins

The winners of IPL 2016 are yet to leave an impact in the tournament. Began their journey with two back-to-back losses, came back with as many wins and then derailed again. They are one of the strongest teams with pack of young talents.However, they lack consistency which is the key to notch the top spot.

16:40 hrs IST

Kings XI Punjab’s IPL 2020 journey

5 games, 4 losses, 1 win

KXIP remains the unluckiest team of the tournament. They have been piling up runs on the scoreboard but failing to defend it. The irony is the skipper of the 8th ranked team is the leading run scorer of the league. If they manage to bounce back tonight, they can have their chances to carve a way to the playoffs in the later stage.
