The Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will be facing Punjab Kings (PBKS) in a thrilling encounter in Match 14 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 season on 9th April, on a doubleheader Sunday in Hyderabad.
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), who are still seeking to win their first campaign game, will try to turn things around at home. Even though SRH appeared to have one of the most powerful squads, they have yet to demonstrate that on the pitch. Aiden Markram will take over captaincy along with the availability of two crucial international players Klaasen and Marco Jansen.
Harry Brook will be expected to play at his peak and support the squad. Coach Tom Moody has mentioned the Sunrisers’ right-handedness as a major concern.
Punjab Kings, led by Shikhar Dhawan, are euphoric after scoring two consecutive victories for the first time in six years.
Dhawan has been the anchor of PBKS’s boat, with 6370 IPL runs, while the rest of the squad has beautifully set sails. Kagiso Rabada of South Africa has joined the team, while Livingstone is still awaiting clearance from the ECB. With their winning streak intact, PBKS will attempt to make it three wins in a row.
