Sunrisers Hyderabad aims to secure a top-two position in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 with a victory over Punjab Kings in the tournament’s final double-header at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Sunday. The team has already qualified for the playoffs after their previous match against the Gujarat Titans was washed out, but a win will propel them to 17 points. This, combined with a loss by the Rajasthan Royals in their final match, would guarantee SRH a top-two finish. Punjab Kings, on the other hand, have no chance of advancing to the playoffs and will be aiming to end their season on a high note and perhaps improve their current eighth-place standing. Several English players, including Jonny Bairstow, Liam Livingstone, and skipper Sam Curran, have already departed the PBKS squad, creating opportunities for younger players like Shashank Singh or Rilee Rossouw to lead the team in their final match.
