SRH vs PBKS: Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will lock horns with Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the Match 69 of the IPL 2024. The game will get underway at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on May 19, Sunday at 3:30 PM (IST).

The Sunrisers have already qualified for the playoffs following a washout in the previous game against Gujarat Titans. They are currently third on the points table with 15 points. They will finish in second place if they beat PBKS and if RR lose to KKR.

On the contrary, the Mohali-based franchise have already been eliminated from the playoffs race. They are ninth on the table with 10 points. When SRH and PBKS faced each other in the reverse fixture, it was a closely-fought contest.

SRH pulled off the ropes from the jaws of defeat as they won the game by 2 runs in Chandigarh. Let's take a look at the four batters who can score the most runs in the Match 69 of the competition.

1. Travis Head: Travis Head is the leading run-scorer for Sunrisers and the third leading run-getter in the ongoing IPL season. The left-hander scored 533 runs in 11 games at an average of 53.30 and a strike rate of 201.89. He is expected to go all guns blazing to help SRH come through with flying colours.
