SRH vs PBKS Pitch Report and Weather Condition

We often have seen huge totals to be posted at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. Generally, the flat pitch here helps the batters, except for the last match. With the average first-innings score in the last 10 matches being 213 and both teams having exploding batting lineups, it is expected to be another run-fest in Hyderabad. Given these factors, teams might prefer to bat first to capitalize on a fresher pitch and set a target, as the surface could slow down and offer more assistance to bowlers in the second innings. Weather conditions in Hyderabad are forecasted to be clear, with temperatures ranging between 26 to 37 degrees Celsius and humidity levels below 40%. There is no expectation of rain, ensuring an uninterrupted match.

SRH vs PBKS Team News, Injury Update

Sunrisers Hyderabad

SRH's squad is largely fit, with no major injuries reported. Harshal Patel, who missed the previous match due to injury, is expected to return to the playing XI if deemed fit. After the first match, Hyderabad batters have not ignited in any of the next four matches, and aggravating the problem, the vulnerability of their bowling attack also gets exposed. SRH spinners are the most expensive in this IPL. Rahul Chahar has good records against Maxwell, Stoinis and Shreyas Iyer and is expected to continue to do the same. SRH pacers also have the worst average in IPL 2025.

Punjab Kings

PBKS have not reported any major injury concerns and are expected to field their strongest XI. In the last match against CSK Priyansh Arya made a 39-ball century with a strike rate of 245. Other batters like Shreyas Iyer and Nehal Wadhera are also in good form and expected to do well against the SRH bowling. Maxwell and Yuzvendra Chahal could be more useful in Hyderabad.
