Watch cricket video highlights between Punjab Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad. Indian Premier League 2024 sixty ninth match, played at Hyderabad.
This IPL, Hyderabad has averaged a first-inning score of 203, making it a high-scoring venue. The only stadium with a greater run rate than Hyderabad’s 9.94 is the Arun Jaitely Satdium (10.69). There’s a 30% chance of rain, so the weather might play spoiler once more. The season did not get off to a fantastic start for Harshal Patel either. In his first four games, he scored 44 or more. After that, though, he made a 180-degree turn around and now has 22 wickets to his name, first among all players this season. Additionally, his economy has decreased to 9.51. If PBKS are to finish the season strong, he will have to take on more responsibility because Rabada and Curran are sidelined.
When these two teams faced off earlier in the season, SRH was put in and found themselves on 39 for 3 within the powerplay. However, they reached 182 for 9 thanks to Nitish Kumar Reddy’s 64 off 37 balls. As a result, PBKS too broke down before being brought back to life by Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma. They eventually lost by two runs. IPL 2024 began with Bhuvneshwar Kumar scoring 0 for 51 and 0 for 53. He was 0 for 60 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru a few games later. However, he only took four wickets in the first eight games; in the following four, he has claimed seven. He has been at his best as usual during the powerplay, taking the most wickets this season with 10 of his eleven coming during this phase.
Atharva Taide and Rishi Dhawan may get an opportunity in Curran and Bairstow’s absence. Arshdeep Singh and Prabhsimran Singh are perhaps their best alternatives for Impact Players. In exchange for Sri Lankan legspinner Vijayakanth Viyaskanth, would SRH get back Aiden Markram? The batting appears a little weak without Markram, but Viyaskanth shone against LSG with scores of 4-0-27-0. A different strategy would be to put in Rahul Tripathi or Mayank Agarwal in place of all-arounder Sanvir Singh. If they bowl first, Abhishek Sharma may be their impact player; if they bat first, T Natarajan might be.
The majority of PBKS’s abroad players had gone home for a variety of reasons, and the team was long since eliminated from the postseason competition. Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, Jonny Bairstow, and Sikandar Raza departed for national duty; Chris Woakes left for family reasons; Kagiso Rabada left due to a lower leg infection. Rilee Rossouw and Nathan Ellis are the only foreign players available to Jitesh Sharma, who will captain the team on Sunday. For domestic athletes, this is an opportunity to make an impact, as they have nothing to lose.
SRH lost their most recent game against Gujarat Titans due to a washout, hence they are now out of control. They could defeat PBKS on Sunday afternoon, but it does not mean they will finish in the top two. The Rajasthan Royals must lose against the Kolkata Knight Riders later in the day for it to occur. Prior to the GT match, SRH had faced the Lucknow Super Giants on May 8 and had successfully chased down 166 in 10 overs. This implies that they will take action 10 days from now. It remains to be seen if they will be refreshed or rusted.
