Try this:

# will select item with label 9
$dropdown = $ie.Document.getElementById("skuAndSize")
($dropdown | where {$_.innerHTML -eq "9"}).Selected = $true

Found a better solution which will select the value with exact text

Define a function

applicationList is the id of the select tag

test abc is the exact text to match

function Subscription()
{
$x = $IE.document.getElementById("applicationList");
for($i=0;$i -lt $x.length;$i++)
{
If($x.options[$i].text -eq "test abc")
{
return $i;
}}}

Call the Function

$index=Subscription;
$IE.Document.getElementById("applicationList").SelectedIndex=$index;
