Surely, SRH's game to lose from here. SRH- 182/4 after 15 overs. They need 33 runs from 30 balls.
Harshal Patel strikes. It's a slower one from the bowler and Rahul Tripathi trying to hit it out of the mark, mistimes this. Gets out caught for 33 off 18. SRH- 72/2 after 5 overs.
50 Up For Hyderabad. 11-run over from Rishi Dhawan. Hyderabad- 50/1 after 4 overs.

Rahul Tripathi joins Abhishek Sharma.
Arshdeep Singh removes Travis Head first ball. SRH are jolted early it's 0/1 in 0.1 overs as Arshdeep hits the top of off after beating the batter with a beautiful swinging delivery. Quite the most perfect start for PBKS.
So PBKS finish at 214/5. It has needed a bit of cameo from stand-in captain Jitesh Sharma who finishes with 32* off 15 that has allowed Punjab to get to that total after solid innings from their top three- Prabhsimran Singh (71 off 45), Atharva Taide (46 off 27) and Rilee Rossouw (49 off 24).
Nitish Kumar Reddy to finish things off for SRH with the ball.
PBKS- 195/5 after 19 overs. Good little fightback this for SRH late in this innings.
Two more wickets. First Rossouw holes out trying to find the fence off a maximum before Ashutosh Sharma gets out off Natarajan. PBKS- 187/5 after 18.1 Overs.
Bhuvneshwar bowls out. He finishes off with figures of 0 for 36 but PBKS are 180/3 after 17 overs.
And out of all the possible ways he could have gotten out, Shashank Singh is run out on what appears to be a batters' paradise. Big mix up and Shashank is nowhere near the keepers' end. Nitish Reddy's throw does the trick. Shashank out for 2 off 4. PBKS- 174/3 after 16 overs.
Prabhsimran Singh Falls for 71 off 45. Tickle off the gloves and through to the keeper. Viyaskanth gets the wicket. PBKS- 151/2 after 14.2 overs.
Fifty for Prabhsimran Singh. Some innings this. He has been joined by Rilee Rossouw at the other end.

It's a powerplay that has been dominated by PBKS. Some attacking display of strokemaking. PBKS- 61/0. 14 runs off the sixth over. Prabhsimran Singh- 33* off 19, Atharva Taide- 27* off 17.

SRH though would also have to hope that RR end up losing their contest for them to finish in top two and play that Qualifier.
PBKS, on the other hand, will also look to end their season on a high and take those 2 points against a side that will compete in the IPL 2024 Playoffs this year which will boost their confidence heading into the next season and perhaps give the management the opportunity to see which are the players they can retain heading into the mega-auction ahead of IPL 2025.
