Sunrisers Hyderabad face Punjab Kings in their last league stage match in IPL 2024 on Sunday, May 18. The Pat Cummins-led outfit has been sensational this season and made it to the playoffs for the first time since 2020, and this alone speaks highly of the impact that the Australian made in his first year in charge. Sunrisers Hyderabad has had a dismal campaign last year, finishing in bottom spot on the IPL points table but a dramatic turnaround this season has kept them well and truly in the hunt for a second title. Cummins and co had a washout against Gujarat Titans in their last match--a result which sealed their spot in the IPL 2024 playoffs and now, they will be going all out to win this match and have a shot in securing the second spot on the IPL 2024 points table, a privilege which can give them two shots at making the final.

Punjab Kings, on the other hand, have had yet another disappointing campaign. Despite the presence of some big players in the squad, the side has failed to live upto the expectations. Led by Sam Curran, Punjab Kings have managed to win just five matches in 13 so far this season. However, with Curran not around, Jitesh Sharma, the designated vice-captain of the side will take up the role of captain for this match. Shikhar Dhawan's absence has been a major factor in Punjab Kings' failure this season with the designated skipper suffering an injury during the reverse fixture against Sunrisers Hyderabad. He is also likely to miss this match. IPL 2024 Points Table Updated With Net Run Rate: Lucknow Super Giants and Delhi Capitals Eliminated From Playoff Race.
