Punjab vs Hyderabad on April 9

Punjab Kings will battle it out against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Match 23 of the 2024 IPL. The two will face each other on Tuesday, April 9 at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, Chandigarh. PBKS have been inconsistent while SRH remain a formidable unit but an unpredictable side. Both the teams have won two of the four matches they have played so far, but a higher net run rate has put SRH fifth on the points table - one place ahead of their rivals in the upcoming match. The Orange Army is coming on the back of an impressive win six-wicket against five-time champions Chennai Super Kings. Meanwhile, Shikhar Dhawan and Co will be riding high on the confidence of their incredible last-over win against Gujarat Titans, all credits to their 'mistaken identity' Shashank Singh.

Best economical pick – Harpreet Brar has so far stood out for his wicket-taking ability and bowling economically. The left-arm spinner is Punjab's main weapon to pick up crucial wickets in the middle overs and disrupt SRH's scoring rate. He can also chip in with some valuable runs in the lower-middle order.

Top captains & vice captains – Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Heinrich Klaasen could be the best batter in game 23 of the ongoing IPL 2024. With 472 runs in his last 10 matches, Klaasen has been exceptional, and he will be keen on continuing his brilliant run of form against Punjab Kings as well. Shikhar Dhawan is a vital cog in PBKS' batting unit. Known for scoring big runs and anchoring the innings, the skipper aims to get his team off to a strong start. The southpaw has amassed 138 runs in four matches.

Smart pick – The opening combo of Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma has done well for SRH so far. The Aussie batter has given his team a fiery start in the Powerplay and will aim to continue that against PBKS.

Cautious Pick – Harshal Patel has picked up just four wickets and has conceded an economy rate of over 11 in all four matches. He is likely to get hammered by a formidable batting unit of SRH.

My XI – Heinrich Klassen (Captain), Shikhar Dhawan (Vice-Captain), Harpreet Brar, Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Aiden Markram, Pat Cummins, Kagiso Rabada, Sam Curran, Jonny Bairstow, Bhuvneswar Kumar
