Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) is the only team that has embodied the ultra-high-scoring attitude of the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL). They were the first team to score 200 points or higher above par consistently, and occasionally even below par. Twice they shattered the IPL record for the biggest score ever. In their last league game, they chased down a target of 215 like it was nothing to guarantee a spot in the first qualifier. In the second qualifier, they will face the Rajasthan Royals (RR), the team from whom they eliminated the opposition on the final day of the league stage. Like their opponents for the day, they hope to advance one more step closer to winning just their second IPL championship.
