The SRH campaign in the Indian Premier League has side-stepped a little after starting strong early in the season.
After the first 7 games, it looked like SRH were one of the favorites to enter the playoffs list, but now, in the business end of the tournament, they are struggling to sneak into the final two spots.
With KKR and RR more or less set for the playoff spots, the race is mainly between CSK, LSG, DC and SRH to compete for the remaining two. Out of those four teams, two will play today, 8 May at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.
Pat Cummins and KL Rahul are both coming off losses.
SRH and LSG are tied in points at the league table.
SRH have made it difficult for themselves by losing 3 out of their last 5 matches and they will hope to grab a crucial win against KL Rahul's LSG on Wednesday. It is Pat Cummins' birthday today and the skipper will hope to inspire the side with a quick turnaround from the loss vs MI.
SRH played their last match a day before, so fatigue will be the biggest question mark on the side. Pat Cummins will hope for a better show from the middle-order, who have not shown any kind of character once the openers have gotten out early in the innings.
On the other hand, LSG would hope to forget their 98-run hammering against KKR if they wish to keep their playoff hope alive.
The team has reached the top 4 in back-to-back seasons and it will be a body blow for them if they fail to achieve the same result, if not better it, in 2024.
