The Punjab Kings will be aiming to get back to winning ways when they take on the Sunrisers Hyderabad in Match 23 of IPL 2024. Both teams have had an inconsistent start to the season and will be keen to notch up another victory.
Punjab Kings made one change to their lineup with Kagiso Rabada returning to bolster their bowling attack. The Proteas pacer has been their leading wicket-taker so far and his experience will be crucial. Sunrisers also made one alteration as Shahbaz Ahmed came in to strengthen their spin department.
When these two teams have met in the past, Sunrisers have held the upper hand. In their 21 previous encounters, Hyderabad have won 14 matches compared to Punjab's 7 victories. However, the Punjab outfit will draw confidence from their strong batting unit's ability to post big scores on a ground known to favor batters.
Conditions are expected to assist batters once again with little help for pacers. Dew could also come into play in the evening. Both teams possess some exciting T20 players who will be hoping to make an impact in what promises to be an entertaining contest.
With crucial points at stake to move up the points table, fans are in for an exciting match. The match will provide a chance for one team to gain momentum in their IPL 2024 campaign.
