PBKS vs CSK. (Source -IPL/BCCI)
The Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, home of former Indian Premier League (IPL) champions Sunrisers Hyderabad, is all set to host its final match of the 2024 season. The 2016 winners will face Punjab Kings (PBKS), who are already eliminated from the tournament, on Sunday (May 19).
The hosts have qualified for the playoffs after a strong campaign but will need to win their final league game to ensure they are in the hunt for second place in the points table. SRH are clear favourites to win the battle not only considering their current form but also in terms of history.
In the history of IPL, the two have met 22 times, Hyderabad won 15 times while Punjab won only seven times. Notably, it was Pat Cummins’ team who emerged victorious in a last-ball thriller (2 runs) when they faced PBKS earlier this season.
