Background
PBKS vs SRH LIVE SCORE: Hello and welcome to our live coverage of IPL 2024 match number 23 being played between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Mullanpur. It's a mid-table clash of the season with both teams with almost identical numbers on the points tally. Both the sides have 4 points from 4 matches. However, SRH's net run rate (NRR) is better than that of PBKS which is why they find themselves at the fifth place, compared to Punjab's sixth position.
This is set to be an exciting fixture also because in their most recent encounters both Punjab and Hyderabad tasted victories. While PBKS won by 3 wickets and a ball remaining, SRH were dominant in the manner in which they got the better of CSK. Having said that, SRH's batting and approach has looked threatening and they have already posted the highest total in IPL history this season. How their batters adapt to what will be a new venue for them will be interesting to see.
Punjab will be hosting this game and their team would now have a fair idea of how to go abou their business at this venue. A big innings from Shikhar Dhawan at the top is due and the southpaw will be desperate to make a contribution. As far as the head-to-head record is concerned, the two teams have squared off 21 times with SRH coming out on top 14 times and PBKS winning the other 7 matches.
