Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will look to arrest their four-match winless run when they host Punjab Kings (PBKS) in match 27 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Saturday (April 12).
Pat Cummins’ SRH head into the contest on the back of a 7-wicket loss to Gujarat Titans at home, while PBKS are fresh from an 18-run victory over Chennai Super Kings in Mullanpur.

Having already lost three in a row, including one at home, SRH’s power-packed batting line up failed to make an impression for the fourth game in a row as they managed to put on just 153, which was chased down by GT with 3.2 overs to spare.
Shreyas Iyer’s Punjab Kings, on the other hand, responded to their first loss of the season by posting 219 before restricting CSK to 201 in the run chase at the New PCA Stadium earlier this week. PBKS has won three and lost one so far this season.
While SRH will aim for their first win since their opening game, PBKS will look to keep their winning run going when the two sides cross paths in their 24th meeting in IPL and their tenth meeting in Hyderabad. Here is a look at SRH vs PBKS head to head numbers:
In the 23 PBKS vs SRH head to head matches in IPL so far, it’s Sunrisers Hyderabad that hold the advantage with 16 wins against Punjab Kings, who have won 7 times against the 2016 champions.
