The Sunrisers have already secured a spot in the playoffs following a washout in their previous game against Gujarat Titans. They currently sit third on the points table with 15 points. A win against PBKS, coupled with a Rajasthan Royals (RR) loss to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), will see them finish in second place.

Conversely, the Mohali-based franchise has been eliminated from playoff contention. They are ninth on the table with 10 points. The reverse fixture between SRH and PBKS was a closely contested match.
