Shreyas Iyer's team is playing the same brand of cricket that helped them reach the final last year. The batting has plenty of firepower and depth, while the bowling looks organised. Out of the three matches, they have won two, while one was lost due to rain.
Meanwhile, Sunrisers Hyderabad, led by stand-in captain Ishan Kishan, started their campaign with a six-wicket defeat to defending champions – Royal Challengers Bangalore. However, they made a commendable comeback against Kolkata Knight Riders to win by 65 runs. In their most recent encounter, they were defeated by Lucknow Super Giants. The Orange Army will look to return to winning ways on Saturday.

Vijaykumar Vaish will be fun to bowl to in Chandigarh as his variations will become more lethal with the help from the pitch. The right-arm fast bowler has the ability to bowl yorkers in the death overs, which will be important for Punjab, especially at this time when their key fast bowler Arshdeep Singh has not been at his best.
