Welcome to the coverage of the Indian Premier League match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Punjab Kings in Chennai on Wednesday.

Bruised and battered after suffering defeats in their first three games, a desperate Sunrisers Hyderabad would seek inspiration from skipper David Warner to arrest any further slide when they take on Punjab Kings.

SRH couldn't have asked for a worse start to the season as they slumped to three straight defeats.

Punjab are a tad better than SRH, having registered one win out of three games to be placed at seventh in the standings, a rung above their Wednesday's opponents.

Chasing has been Sunrisers' achilles' heel so far in the league. They failed to get past a low score against Mumbai Indians in their last match.

SRH have been hit hard by the lack of depth in their playing XI and the below-par Indian bench strength.

In these circumstances, the onus rests on Warner to do some magic and inspire his side to bounce back in the tournament.

A big innings is due from the SRH captain as he has scored just 93 runs from the three matches he has played so far with a highest score of 54 against Royals Challengers Bangalore.

It's high time the likes of Manish Pandey, Vijay Shankar, Abhishek Sharma and Abdul Samad pulled up their socks as the likes of seasoned Kedar Jadhav and the young Priyam Garg are waiting in the wings for their opportunities.

SRH have also been hit hard by the below-par showing from their pace duo of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Thangarasu Natarajan.

Rashid Khan has been economical (5.33) but didn't look menacing so far to claim four wickets in three games.

Punjab too are on a losing streak after the win in their tournament opener over Rajasthan Royals, suffering successive losses to Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals.

After their  batting collapse against CSK, Punjab made a significant improvement and rode on skipper KL Rahul (61) and Mayank Agarwal (69) fifties to post a challenging 195/4 against Delhi.

But a below-par effort from their bowlers spoiled the hardwork of the openers.
