Punjab Kings will travel down south to take on Sunrisers Hyderabad in their respective final games of the season. It is a huge game for the hosts who will want to move to the second spot in the table with a win and put themselves in a position to play the first qualifier of the IPL 2024 season.

After a dismal few campaigns, Sunrisers Hyderabad have played well to make it this far this season. The addition of Pat Cummins and his eventual elevation to the captaincy has been a huge boost for the men in orange. The capture of Travis Head turned the fortunes of SRH and the Australian star has repaid the faith of the team with some stellar performances.

For yet another season in running, Punjab Kings have failed to deliver despite making some heavy investments in the team. The loss of Shikhar Dhawan due to fitness issues didn’t help matters but the form of Sam Curran was a huge positive. The emergence of Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma and the form of Harshal Patel are huge positives for the Punjab side.

Here are the top 3 player battles to watch out for ahead of SRH vs PBKS in IPL 2024, Match 69:

Heinrich Klaasen can dominate the best bowlers around the world. His penchant to score runs against the spinners is well known around the cricketing circles. Rahul Chahar will use this as a chance to make a huge point and get the wicket of the South African star in this keenly anticipated battle. 

Punjab Kings leg-spinner Rahul Chahar has been one of the most key bowlers for his team in the last few games. His bowling spells against Chennai Super Kings was pivotal and he will want to do the same for one final time this season. 

2. Abhishek Sharma vs Arshdeep Singh
