SRH vs PBKS
Abhishek Sharma scored an outstanding 141 off 55 balls to lead Sunrisers Hyderabad past Punjab Kings by eight wickets at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium during IPL 2025 match play at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, setting off one of the fastest centuries ever seen in IPL history – Ishan Kishan and Heinrich Klaasen added further runs so SRH sealed victory with nine balls remaining.
SRH had fallen into the lower half of the table following four consecutive defeats, struggling to put up scores while their bowlers performed below par. To secure more victories, they will need to improve in future matches and put up better performances on bat and bowler alike.
Meanwhile, PBKS sit in fourth position with three wins in four matches, having come into their game against SRH fresh off an 18-run victory against CSK and an outstanding home performance. Their depth has allowed several different players to step up during every match for them.
Yuzvendra Chahal and Mohammad Shami will go head-to-head in this game’s battle of spinners, with Chahal showing exceptional form while Shami has struggled. No matter who wins this one, it should make for an engaging contest!
SRH will hope their top order can gel in this game, especially Klaasen who averages 52 runs with an impressive strike rate of 187% at Rajiv Gandhi Stadium and has already scored 522 runs at an average strike rate of 187%, making him an attractive Dream11 pick for this match-up. Although their recent form has taken a hit, SRH remains one of the premier teams at home; having won eight out of nine matches played at their venue over recent months; thus making them favourites to take another victory; while defeat will likely derail their hopes of reaching top four finish this time round.
Predictions
On Saturday, April 12th at Uppal stadium, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Punjab Kings will battle it out in an intense encounter. Both teams have struggled recently – with Sunrisers Hyderabad failing to hit its high-risk batting formula and its bowling unit falling flat; and Punjab Kings outperforming without their superstar players like batsmen David Warner or Andrew Tye relying on them; so this match should provide plenty of action and excitement!
On the day of the match, weather forecasters predict clear and sunny conditions with minimal chance of rainfall, favoring both teams to bat first. Given its unique bounce that benefits batsmen and allows a high scoring game to emerge.
If SRH win the toss, they may choose to field first as their bowling attack has been unimpressive of late – particularly against CSK in their most recent matchup – making this crucial match a prime opportunity to boost performance across the board and remain competitive in this league.
PBKS have also been in good form recently and will be confident after beating CSK by 18 runs in their previous game. As they currently sit fourth on the points table, they’re keen on keeping up their winning streak against SRH.
After his magnificent IPL-best century against CSK, Priyansh Arya will take centre stage after shreyas Iyer and Marcus Stoinis produced outstanding performances against them. Additionally, Nehal Wadhera, Glenn Maxwell, Marco Jansen as well as Yuzvendra Chahal, Xavier Bartlett, and Kamindu Mendis round off an outstanding bowling lineup for Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Both teams boast powerful Dream11 players, making the outcome of this match difficult to predict. Finding a balance between top-tier hitters and powerful bowlers is key for success; injury and weather conditions could impact its outcome significantly; nevertheless, strong teams with well-balanced squads tend to win most matches; this may especially apply if SRH can get their bowling back on track – in essence it comes down to who’s boldest on matchday!
Toss
SRH vs PBKS will meet for the 23rd match in the 2024 Indian Premier League season and both teams will look to get back into winning ways. Last season’s title holders, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), hope to continue their dominance over Punjab Kings who still need to find their winning formula.
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium’s pitch has proved more suited for batters this season, making a score of over 190 easily achievable on this surface. While spinners may find wickets hard to come by on such surfaces, they should still receive assistance.
Pat Cummins acknowledges that his and Abhishek Sharma have put in hard work on their partnership, and it has paid dividends. It is amazing to watch both players stepping up at once; Pat is particularly fond of Abhishek’s strikes against spin. Furthermore, Pat praises Ishan Kishan’s handling of pressure well as well as their hard work on the field.
Punjab King’s win against Gujarat Titans saved them from consecutive losses, and they hope to maintain that momentum into this game. Backed by their home ground advantage and with talented young players such as Glenn Maxwell and Marcus Stoinis on board like Mohammad Shami and Ishan Kishan to power through an innings, including Lockie Ferguson coming back after suffering injury in their last match, Punjab King have the ability to turn this match into an exciting contest.

SRH are in desperate need of breaking their streak of four consecutive defeats and will look to break it against an aggressive Punjab Kings side when they meet at Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad this Saturday.
Contrary to SRH, their opponents have had a successful start to their season and currently stand fourth on the points table. Their most recent victory came via an 18-run win against Chennai Super Kings; under captain Shreyas Iyer’s guidance their batting unit led by opener Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya has performed impressively, while Arshdeep Singh and Yuzvendra Chahal have led by example when it comes to consistency bowling attack.
Punjab, who have yet to lose this season, are well on their way towards finishing in the top-four and will be further buoyed by Iyer’s return after being rested against Gujarat Titans. He should provide some consistency for their top order alongside Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh while experienced players such as Marcus Stoinis and Glenn Maxwell should help strengthen their performances further in the middle order.
On the other side of things, SRH have had difficulty with their bat and will be hoping that some form can come from their key batsmen to enable them to compete with a strong Punjab side. Their last match saw them struggle with an underwhelming total and ultimately lose with over three overs remaining.
