Punjab Kings will face Sunrisers Hyderabad in the fourteenth match of the VIVO IPL 2021 on April 21st at M.A. Chidambaram Stadium (Chepauk), Chennai.
Both teams have only played three games so far, with Punjab Kings winning one of them and Sunrisers Hyderabad yet to win in this season.
Punjab Kings have lost two matches in a row and are trying to recover. Punjab Kings' bowlers struggled to defend a huge total in their last game against Delhi Capitals.
