Rain Threatens Double Header Deciding No. 2 Spot in IPL

In a pivotal match, the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will take on the Punjab Kings (PBKS). A victory would maintain SRH's chances of finishing in the top two. They will, meanwhile, be hoping that the Rajasthan Royals (RR) defeat the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) later in the day.

Weather Prediction: Rain is predicted for Hyderabad, which can have an effect on the game. In the event that weather cancels both games, the Royals will go to the postseason on the basis of their net run rate.

Team News: - Although SRH's net run rate is higher than RR's, they still need to win in order to maintain their lead.
- Jonny Bairstow and stand-in captain Sam Curran, who returned home to prepare for the World Cup, will be absent from PBKS.
- Shikhar Dhawan, the regular captain, will not be leading PBKS; instead, Jitesh Sharma will do so.

RR's performance has suffered as a result of Jos Buttler's absence at the top of the order.
