Sunrisers Hyderabad are locking horns against Punjab Kings in an important IPL 2023 encounter on Sunday (April 9). It is going to be the second match of the doubleheader on Sunday at the Uppal Stadium in Hyderabad.
Sunrisers and Punjab are coming into the match with contrasting forms. The SRH side have lost their first two matches while PBKS have registered two wins in their first two outings. Aiden Markram's men need a step up and will be hoping to get off the mark in the points table at home.

SRH team news vs PBKS: Sunrisers Hyderabad have a full team available and they need a decent first half of the game. In terms of injuries, every player is fit to play the upcoming match.
Markram and the SRH think tank will have a conundrum on Harry Brook as the big-money signing so far has disappointed in the first two matches. Abdul Samad has been their only positive with the bat thus far and in terms of bowling, Umran Malik and Natarajan have impressed and both are expected to play against the Kings.
Abhishek Sharma's exclusion in the last match irked a lot of pundits and the southpaw may be integrated back into the team again.
PBKS team news vs SRH: Punjab Kings have a strong unit and they are benefitting from domestic players who are stepping up. Jitesh Sharma, Prabhsimran Singh have played a big part in their two wins and will be in the team that plays against SRH.
Overseas selection can be a tricky one but Shikhar Dhawan may go with the same team if Bhanuka Rajapaksa is fit to play. The Sri Lankan got retired hurt in the last match and left the field.
