Placed on number four of the IPL 2019 points table, the Sunrisers Hyderabad will leave no stone unturned to win this game to increase their chances for the playoffs. Whereas, the Yellow Army who had parked themselves at the top of the IPL 2019 points table for quite some time, would want to end the IPL 2019 league stage in a similar fashion. The last time the two teams met at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, the hosts walked away with a six-wicket victory. All thanks to David Warner and Jonny Bairstow who made 50 and 61 runs respectively as they chased the total of 132 runs.
