The penultimate group stage match of the 2024 Indian Premier League will take place on Sunday afternoon between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Punjab Kings. While Punjab Kings were eliminated after Match 58, Sunrisers are confirmed to go to the playoffs. On May 19, the game begins at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Uppal, Hyderabad, at 15:30 local time.
The Sunrisers should be well-rested and rested going into this match, despite their disappointment at not being able to play in Thursday’s abandonment without having bowled a ball. They have had a good attitude throughout the season, so we anticipate that they will prevail in this match as well.
Punjab Kings go into this last group stage match with nothing to lose because their elimination was already determined a long time ago. They finished the competition in better shape than when they began, but they will be facing one of the top teams without several important players, so this will be a difficult task.
The squad led by Pat Cummins advances to the next round. Rain forced the postponement of their final game against the Gujarat Titans, guaranteeing them a spot in the playoffs. This season, they have excelled at batting and obliterated bowling assaults. Cummins would anticipate a solid performance from his bowlers in the team’s final league game to build momentum before the playoffs.
Travis Head, who currently ranks third in the league in run total, will be looking to start the season strong against Abhishek Sharma. Having performed admirably at number three, Nitish Reddy will try to lead the middle-order partnership with Heinrich Klaasen and Aiden Markram. Abdul Samad and Shahbaz Ahmed will try to add fast runs in the lower middle order.
In order to give the team an early advantage and establish control, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Pat Cummins will want to take early wickets. With Vijayakanth Viyaskanth, Shahbaz Ahmed, who has performed well in recent games, will try to limit the scoring. Side hopes for a strong performance from Jaydev Unadkat and T Natarajan.
Sunrisers Hyderabad Squads
Pat Cummins (c), Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Abhishek Sharma, Vijayakanth Viyaskanth, Travis Head, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jaydev Unadkat, Shahbaz Ahmed, Abdul Samad, and Sanvir Singh.
In the final game, the Punjab Kings won by a margin of five wickets over the Rajasthan Royals. But because of their patchy play in the first half of the season, the squad is no longer in the running for the playoffs. When they enter the court for the final match this season, Shashank Singh, who is probably going to be leading the team in Sam Curran’s absence, would prefer to end on a good note. They face a potent batting lineup, so Singh will be looking for his bowlers to put on a good performance.
This season, Prabhsimran Singh has been playing well, and he’ll try to get out to a fast start against Harpreet Bhatia. A vital player in the middle order, Rilee Rossouw will want to score more runs when he bats with Atharva Taide and Shashank Singh. Ashutosh Sharma and Jitesh Sharma will want to do well in the last overs.
Given that the Sunrisers top order is playing well, Arshdeep Singh and Nathan Ellis would want to do well with the new ball. Mid-overs scoring must be monitored by Rahul Chahar and Harshal Patel. Their bowling lacks depth, therefore Harpreet Brar must have a strong showing.
Punjab Kings Squads
Nathan Ellis (c), Jitesh Sharma (wk), Rahul Chahar, Arshdeep Singh, Prabhsimran Singh, Harpreet Singh, Ashutosh Sharma, Rishi Dhawan, Harshal Patel, Rilee Rossouw, and Harpreet Brar.

Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Uppal, Hyderabad
Although the Sunrisers have won twice at this venue when batting first, both sides have had success this season when chasing. When the toss comes in this match, we think that both teams will prefer to bat first.
The weather report for Hyderabad indicates that clouds will be present all day on Sunday. Although there is a little probability of rain, there should be enough dry weather to finish the match.
We anticipate that this game will be high-scoring, just like the others this season at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. Since the ball is predicted to travel exceptionally quickly to the boundary during powerplays, the team who bats first will be aiming to score 240 or more.
Punjab Kings has won two of the last five meetings between these two teams, while Sunrisers Hyderabad has won three.
