Win Projections to be updated soon
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) skipper Pat Cummins celebrated his 31st birthday on Wednesday, May 8th, in a heartwarming way, surrounded by his family and teammates. The special occasion came just before a crucial match against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. With both teams vying for a coveted spot in the IPL 2024 playoffs, the upcoming clash holds immense significance.
SRH Showers Skipper with Birthday Cheer
The official SRH social media channels captured the joy of the celebration with a special video featuring Cummins and his teammates. The lighthearted video showcased the players showering their skipper with birthday love, culminating in a playful cake smash on Cummins’ face during a pre-match bash. The video also featured a heartwarming moment where Cummins shared a selfie with his father, who joined the festivities in Hyderabad.
Prior to the celebrations, SRH released another video where the players playfully discussed what kind of gift Cummins would appreciate most. Interestingly, the majority of teammates revealed that Cummins would likely cherish a win on his birthday and, of course, a delicious cake. The video highlighted Cummins’ love for cake and his tradition of celebrating victories with his team by cutting a cake â a tradition they hoped to continue on his birthday.
Do-or-Die Match for Both Teams
The upcoming match against LSG is a high-pressure encounter for both teams, as neither can afford a loss in the intensely competitive race for the top 4 spots in the IPL season. Currently, SRH sits comfortably at the 4th position in the points table with 6 wins and 12 points from their 11 matches played. Meanwhile, LSG stands at a similar position, having secured 6 wins from their 11 matches but with a higher tally of losses (5).
A win for SRH would not only be the perfect birthday gift for their skipper but would also solidify their position in the top 4. For LSG, a win is equally crucial to keep their playoff aspirations alive. With both teams boasting exceptional talent and fighting spirit, the match promises to be a thrilling nail-biter for cricket fans.
