SRH vs PBKS Match Preview
The Sunrisers Hyderabad have been one of the most consistent teams in the IPL 2024 season. They have won four out of their five home games, making them a formidable force at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. Their batsmen have been in excellent form, troubling opposition bowlers and propelling the team to commanding totals.
Travis Head has been the standout performer for SRH, currently sitting as the third-highest run-scorer in the tournament. His aggressive approach at the top of the order has set the tone for the team’s innings. Alongside Abhishek Sharma, Head has formed a lethal opening partnership, consistently providing SRH with blistering starts in the powerplay.
In the middle order, Nitish Reddy, Aiden Markram, and Heinrich Klaasen have played crucial roles, anchoring the innings and ensuring a steady flow of runs. The power-hitting of Shahbaz Ahmed and Abdul Samad in the lower middle order has also provided valuable contributions.
SRH’s bowling attack has been equally impressive. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Pat Cummins have been exceptional with the new ball, often striking early blows and putting the opposition on the back foot. Shahbaz Ahmed and Vijayakanth Viyaskanth have been economical in the middle overs, keeping the scoring rate under check.
T Natarajan and Jaydev Unadkat have provided crucial breakthroughs in the death overs, ensuring SRH’s ability to defend even the most daunting totals.
The Punjab Kings, on the other hand, have had a forgettable campaign in the IPL 2024. Despite their recent victory against the Rajasthan Royals, their inconsistent performances in the first half of the season have cost them a place in the playoffs.
With key players like Sam Curran and Jonny Bairstow returning to England for national duties, the Kings will be fielding a depleted squad against SRH. Shashank Singh is likely to lead the team in Curran’s absence, and he will be looking to end the season on a high note.
The opening pair of Prabhsimran Singh and Harpreet Bhatia has shown promise this season, and they will be tasked with providing a solid start. Rilee Rossouw, Shashank Singh, and Atharva Taide will form the core of the middle order, with the responsibility of building and accelerating the innings.
Jitesh Sharma and Ashutosh Sharma will be expected to provide the late flourish, capitalizing on the short boundaries at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.
PBKS’s bowling attack lacks depth, with the absence of key performers like Kagiso Rabada and Shikhar Dhawan. Arshdeep Singh and Nathan Ellis will need to strike early with the new ball, while Harshal Patel and Rahul Chahar will be tasked with containing the runs in the middle overs. Harpreet Brar’s all-round abilities could prove crucial for the Kings.
SRH vs PBKS Head To Head Records
SRH have won the last two encounters against PBKS and three out of their last four meetings in the IPL. In their previous clash this season (Match 23), SRH emerged victorious by a narrow margin of 2 runs.

Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium Pitch Report
The pitches at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad have been exceptional for batting throughout the IPL 2024 season, consistently producing scores over 200. The average innings score at this venue in the ongoing season is 203, which is something both the Sunrisers Hyderabad and the Punjab Kings will be aiming for to stay competitive during their upcoming match.
Games at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium have been high-scoring this season, and we expect nothing different in this match. Whichever team bats first will be looking to post a total of 240 or more, with the ball expected to fly particularly fast to the boundary during the powerplays.
According to the weather forecast, there will be cloud cover throughout Sunday afternoon in Hyderabad. There is a slight chance of rain, but overall, there should be enough dry time to get a match completed.
Both teams have had success when chasing this season, although the Sunrisers have also won twice when batting first at this venue. We predict that both sides will want to bat first ahead of the toss in this clash.

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings – Who Will Win?
Although the Punjab Kings secured an impressive and surprising win over the Rajasthan Royals in their last game, the Sunrisers Hyderabad have been standout performers this year, and we have them as the top team ahead of this match.
After seeing their last game abandoned without a ball being bowled, we expect the Sunrisers Hyderabad to come out firing on all cylinders in this match, particularly as there is a top-two place potentially up for grabs. While the Punjab Kings secured a very good win against the Rajasthan Royals in their last clash, we do not think their XI will be competitive enough in this match. Our prediction is for the Sunrisers Hyderabad to win.
The Sunrisers Hyderabad will be firm favourites to defeat the Punjab Kings in their final group game of the IPL 2024 season due to their current form and the depleted squad of the opposition. We are predicting the Sunrisers Hyderabad as the winner of this match against Punjab Kings.
The stage is set for an enthralling encounter between two teams with contrasting fortunes. The Sunrisers Hyderabad, riding high on confidence and eyeing a top-two finish, will be determined to maintain their momentum. On the other hand, the Punjab Kings, despite being out of contention, will be eager to end their campaign on a positive note and potentially spoil the Sunrisers’ party.
With the playoffs looming, the Sunrisers Hyderabad will undoubtedly be the favourites, but the unpredictable nature of the IPL means that anything can happen. Will the Sunrisers continue their dominant run, or will the Punjab Kings pull off a surprise and bid farewell to the season with a memorable victory?
Fans around the world are eagerly anticipating this clash, and the excitement is palpable as we inch closer to the final round of league games. Stay tuned for what promises to be a thrilling encounter in the 69th match of the IPL 2024 on the JioCinema app and Star Sports Network on Sunday, May 19, at 3:30 PM IST.
