Match Overview
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will host Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Match 27 of the ongoing Indian Premier League 2025 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Saturday, April 12. Notably, both franchises have had a big contrast in fortunes so far in the season.
SRH, who were one of the favourites to be on top of the table, haven’t had a season to remember so far. After smashing 286 in their season opener, they’ve lost four straight games. Their over-aggressive batting strategy has misfired, with scores of 163, 120, and 152 in the last three outings. Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma have struggled to give a solid start, while Ishan Kishan has also not been in his best form. The bowling hasn’t helped either, with the side having the worst economy (10.73) and highest bowling average (41.47) in the league. Furthermore, skipper Pat Cummins has been expensive with the ball, and the lack of a quality spinner continues to trouble them.
PBKS will come into this game with a solid 18-run win over CSK and are sitting in fourth position with three wins in four matches. Their batting unit is flourishing, with different match-winners stepping up every game. Even without major contributions from big names like Marcus Stoinis and Glenn Maxwell, Punjab have been a bright player.
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium Pitch Report
The Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad has largely been a batting paradise this season. Although SRH’s scores have dipped in their last three games. The average first-innings score in the last 10 matches is 213, making it one of the highest-scoring venues in the IPL. Teams batting first have won 60% of those games. While the most recent match was a low-scoring encounter, it’s likely to be an exception. The weather is expected to stay dry.

SRH vs PBKS Probable Best Performers
Probable Best Batter: Ishan Kishan
Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Ishan Kishan could be the best batter in the upcoming game against Punjab Kings. Kishan began the season with a magnificent ton, but hasn’t fired since then. The side will bank on him to get some runs to boost his confidence.
Probable Best Bowler: Yuzvendra Chahal
PBKS’ Yuzvendra Chahal could be the best bowler in the upcoming game against SRH. Chahal has just picked up one wicket in the four innings, but has been on the economical side. The leg spinner, who is the highest wicket-taker of the league, will be hoping to bamboozle the opposition batters with his variations.
