HYDERABAD: Having secured a place in the playoffs after the washout against Gujarat Titans on Thursday, Sunrisers Hyderabad will look to clinch a second-place finish in the points table when they take on depleted Punjab Kings at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket stadium on Sunday afternoon.
With Kolkata Knight Riders (19 points) sure to top the table, Sunrisers’ chances of finishing second will depend on the match between Rajasthan Royals and Knight Riders on Sunday night. A win for KKR will help Sunrisers, who need to win against Punjab, to seal the second spot. Rajasthan Royals can finish second with 18 points only if they defeat KKR.
