Kumar’s Chargers are slight favourites

"But Deccan will be full of confidence after beating Bangalore and they have by far the stronger bowling line-up."

Adam Gilchrist returns to Hyderabad to take on the team he led to IPL glory in 2009. Will Punjab be able to build on their surprise defeat of Chennai?

Deccan
Cameron White is available and could come into the line-up, at the expense of either J P Duminy or Daniel Christian. They need to decide whether to continue with the extra seamer Manpreet Gony or recall international spinner Pragyan Ojha.

Punjab
David Hussey has yet to feature but Adam Gilchrist and Shaun Marsh are fixtures in the team and it is hard to see how they can accommodate Hussey without weakening the bowling, which has depended on the two Ryans, Harris and McLaren.

Match Odds
Gilchrist is an understated but hard working captain and he has already started to get his team together, pulling off a sensational run chase to beat reigning champions Chennai. But Deccan will be full of confidence after beating Bangalore and they have by far the stronger bowling line-up. At [1.96] they should be backed to score another home win.

Total Sixes
The Hyderabad pitch is a slow one on which it isn't easy to time the ball. 8 sixes were hit in the first game here and 9 on Thursday and we are probably safe to go with '9 and Under' in the Total Sixes market at [2.1] or better.

Best Bet

Andrew Hughes says: Back Deccan Chargers to beat Kings XI Punjab @ 1.96
