Preview: This incredible season is nearing its close, with the 69th Indian Premier season match marking the penultimate weekend. At Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi Stadium, there will be a full house for the game. The Punjab Kings will play the home team, the Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Following their game against the Gujarat Titans being rained out, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have already advanced to the playoffs. Even with KKR defeating RR in the second game of the day, Pat Cummins will still want to win, ensure that they finish second in the table, and hope that they can do them a favor.
Sam Curran gave Punjab Kings (PBKS) a significant farewell present after the English player assisted his club in defeating the Royals. With the victory, PBKS topped Mumbai Indians in the standings. Thanks to LSG’s victory over MI, PBKS won’t have to finish the season at the bottom of the standings and can play on Sunday without fear.
