Punjab Kings start as overwhelming favourites, having won both their home games in Mullanpur against the Gujarat Titans and SunRisers Hyderabad. While the Super Giants have a well-rounded bowling unit, the Punjab Kings have an equally in-form batting unit to handle whatever come their way.
The prediction is for the Punjab Kings to continue their winning run but Super Giants are capable of pulling off a surprise.
