PBKS vs SRH: IPL 2024 team news
Liam Livingstone missed the last match for Punjab Kings due to an injury and Sikandar Raza played instead. Raza had an ordinary outing, but may get another look if Livingstone does not recover. PBKS will be boosted by some terrific batting performances by Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma, who helped them pull off a steep chase against Gujarat Titans.
There is no update on whether Sunrisers Hyderabad will have Mayank Agarwal, who missed the last match, against Punjab. SRH’s power hitters have been among the talking points of IPL 2024.
