PBKS won the toss and elected to field.

In their last five encounters, SRH and PBKS stand at a 3-2 head-to-head count, suggesting an anticipated closely contested match on Tuesday

PBKS will take on SRH at the newly inaugurated PCA Stadium in Mullanpur, marking the stadium's debut night match.

Despite the strong presence of Shikhar Dhawan, Jonny Bairstow, Liam Livingstone, and Sam Curran, PBKS struggles to capitalize on their batting firepower. Apart from Dhawan, consistency eludes other prominent players. Prabhsimran Singh and Jitesh Sharma need to emulate Shashank Singh's impactful performance.

At 7:00 PM, captains Shikhar Dhawan of Punjab Kings and Pat Cummins of Sunrisers Hyderabad will step out for the pivotal toss in Mohali.

The match between Punjab Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad is scheduled at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur, Chandigarh, on April 9, 2024, at 7:30 pm IST.

SRH emerges as IPL's unpredictable force in 2024 with a formidable batting line-up, registering the highest team total against Mumbai. A recent win over Chennai underscores their aggressive approach, bolstered by players like Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Heinrich Klaasen, and Aiden Markram.

In Mullanpur, the temperature is forecasted to be 32 degrees at the beginning of the match, decreasing to approximately 24 degrees later. There's no expected rain, with humidity peaking at 21% and a wind speed of 14 km/h.

Both Punjab and Sunrisers face bowling worries: Punjab struggles in death overs, Sunrisers falters with the new ball. Kagiso Rabada excels for Sunrisers, but Punjab's Arshdeep Singh and Harshal Patel lack consistency

Sunrisers Hyderabad's bowling trio of Jaydev Unadkat, Mayank Markande, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar struggle with conceding runs. Bhuvneshwar, despite experience, faces challenges with the new ball. T Natarajan returns with four wickets. Skipper Pat Cummins seeks consistent support from other bowlers.

Punjab encountered Delhi Capitals in the sole IPL match held here. Despite limited data, both teams will assess the pitch conditions. The surface favored batting throughout, aiding Punjab's successful chase. Additionally, the pitch may assist pacers, especially at night with breezy conditions.

Hyderabad and Punjab have faced off 21 times in the IPL. SRH holds a distinct advantage with 14 wins compared to PBKS's seven.
