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.
Kolkata Knight Riders vs. Rajasthan Royals
Location: Guwahati
The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), who are currently atop the standings, take on the Rajasthan Royals (RR). While KKR will try to keep up their winning streak, RR will look to secure a top-two finish with a win.
Climatic Prediction:
There is a chance of rain in Guwahati as well, which makes this meeting more dubious.
Squad News:
RR finished in the top four, however they had lost their last four games.
RR's performance has suffered as a result of Jos Buttler's absence at the top of the order.
- KKR, who have already taken the lead, will try to maintain their strong performance.
