PBKS vs SRH Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Fantasy Cricket Tips: IPL 2024 23rd Match | PBKS vs SRH Dream11 Prediction Today | Mullanpur Pitch Report

“Yatra Pratibha Avsara Prapnotihi” are the words written in gold on the IPL trophy. It means the IPL is the place ‘where talent meets opportunity’. And like many times before, the same was once again proved when the two rookies from Punjab Kings took them through to the win against Gujarat Titans.

In the Sunrisers Hyderabad camp, it’s been the top order show thus far. The attacking mindset in powerplay has served them well, and they have continued with that template throughout the innings as well. It seems like they have found their lost fortune with another Australian leading the side very well, but this is a test of their credentials away from home.

Both sides are placed exactly at the middle of the points table with a couple of wins in four matches. The two teams have a lot to play for in Punjab’s new home, Chandigarh, as newly built Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur is all set for the match number 23 of IPL 2024.

• Sam Curran played a fantastic knock of 63 (47) when Punjab played their first match at the same venue. He has scored 73 striking at 166 against SRH thus far and would surely aim to add many more after being promoted in the batting order. He ilso is expected to play a vital role in bowling as well.
• Shashank Singh guided Punjab Kings to their second win with his fairytale knock of 61* in the last game. He has shown the world that he has a lot of potential. It will be exciting to see how he performs against his former side.

In fact, he has smashed 101 boundaries in 326 deliveries (BPB of 3.23) in T20s since the start of October 2023.
