Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are in need of a win today in order to finish in the top-two of the standings, which will confirm them a spot in the Qualifier 1. The teams which play Qualifier 1 get another shot at the final even if they lose the match. Right now, they are on 15 points as their last match was washed out and they got one point. As a result they were assured a spot in th IPL 2024 playoffs. But to finish in the top-two, they must win today and hope that in evening, Rajasthan Royals (on 16 points) lose to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). If this happens, SRH will jump to the second spot with 17 points and RR will be third with 16.
SRH will be hoping that their openers Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma come good in this game. They have been aggressive in the powerplay, taking the team off to many fliers this season. SRH may not look to tone down their aggression in IPL. Punjab will be led by Jitesh Sharma as there is no Sam Curran in the squad anymore as he has left for national duty. Shikhar Dhawan will not play this match as he remains out due to injury. As far as Dream11 team for this match is concerned, Shashank Singh, Head, Abhishek, Ashutosh Sharma and Nitish Reddy are great choices.
