POTM Abhishek Sharma said:
"It's a matter of time for any batsman. My days are going good so I should utilize it for my team. I wanted to contribute as the target was big today. I think I have told this before, during SMAT I was clear how I was going to play and dominate (during IPL). He (Lara) was our coach as well, have done some work with him, he's in touch. That's helping me now. Just waiting for the loose balls, I am going hard against them and trying to put them (bowlers) under pressure. I was talking to Nitish, the more I was waiting it was getting easier for me. I was ready for that (playing against Harshal). I was trying to take a single but fortunately got a boundary (one of the balls.) I want to thank the crowd, special mention to pitch curator and groundsmen. They have given pitches that have suited our style," Sharma said.
Winning skipper Pat Cummins said:
"It's pretty cool, it's awesome. We have won 6 out of 7 here, it has been great and amazing. I didn't know many guys coming into this season, but we have played great cricket and had some fun. Great bunch of guys. He (Abhishek) is amazing. I wouldn't want to bowl to him. It's scary as he plays with freedom, not only against pacers but also against spinners. Nitish is a class player, looks mature beyond his age, seems to sum up the game really well, he is perfect for our top-order. Really satisfying and exciting. I haven't played in finals before, we'll know in a few hours which game it is. Playing some really good cricket, excited for what's ahead," Cummins said.
Losing skipper Jitesh Sharma said:
"It was fun out there. The boys fought really hard and we enjoyed a lot. Nice game without the overseas players. The discussion won't help till you imply on the ground. We have to play according to the wicket and plan accordingly," Sharma said.
SRH WIN BY FOUR WICKETS
Sunrisers Hyderabad defeated Punjab Kings by four wickets and moved to number two on the points table.

Six runs off the over

Nitish Reddy departs
Nitish Reddy departed after scoring 37 runs off 25 balls. Harshal Patel picked up the wicket as SRH are 176/4 after 14 overs.
14 runs off the over
This is absolute carnage. 14 runs off the over as SRH are 167/3 after 13 overs.
19 runs off the over
Rahul Chahar once again proved expensive. 19 runs off the over. SRH are cruising. They are 153/3 after 12 overs.

As the group stage of IPL 2024 draws to a close, the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) host the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Match 69 of IPL 2024 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad, at 3:30 pm on May 19, 2024. SRH are perched in third position, having a net run rate of +0.406. Meanwhile, PBKS are second from last, with five victories in 13 games so far.
Following their rain-marred draw against the Gujarat Titans, SRH, under the leadership of Pat Cummins, might have experienced a slight setback. Despite confirming their playoff berth, their prospects of securing a top-two finish were slightly diminished. On the contrary, PBKS' focus is on their ultimate fixture of the season, aspiring to bow out on a positive note with a win. The team's morale received a significant boost following their dominant performance against RR, setting the stage for a spirited effort in their final league-stage match.
If SRH win the game and RR lose theirs against table-toppers KKR later in the evening, a top-2 finish would be guaranteed for SRH. PBKS, although having nothing much to play for other than pride, would be looking to spoil SRH's party, in what touts to be a thrilling Sunday afternoon game.
