Preview: In Match 23 of the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL), Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will square off. At Mullanpur, Chandigarh’s Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, the two will play each other on Tuesday, April 9. While SRH continues to be a dangerous but unpredictable side, PBKS has been inconsistent.
Although both clubs have won two of their four games thus far, SRH is now ranked fifth in the points table, one spot ahead of their opponents in the next game, thanks to a greater net run rate. The Orange Army is coming off a thrilling six-wicket victory over the five-time champion Chennai Super Kings (CSK).
Shikhar Dhawan and company, meanwhile, will be bouncing back after their amazing last-over victory over Gujarat Titans (GT), which they attribute to their “mistaken identity,” Shashank Singh. As we prepare for an exciting match, let’s look at potential starting lineups, the pitch report, the best images, fantasy teams, and much more.
