Punjab Kings (PBKS) take on bottom of the table Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on April 9. Punjab Kings beat Rajasthan Royals in Match 8 of the IPL 2023 at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati to make it two wins in two and are now one of only two teams with a hundred percent record this season.
Captain Shikhar Dhawan led from the front with a perfectly paced 86* off 56 balls after an explosive start by Prabhsimran Singh (60 off 34) as PBKS posted a competitive 197/4. Nathan Ellis then bowled an incisive spell of 4/30 while Curran held his nerve and defended 16 off the last over to help PBKS win by five runs in a tense finish after Hetmyer (36 off 18) and Dhruv Jurel (32* off 15) had led RR’s revival. Dhawan will hope that his team can notch up another win and pile more misery on an already beleaguered SRH side.
