SRH vs PBKS Match Overview
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will face Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Match 27 of IPL 2025 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Saturday, April 12. So far this season, both teams have had very different results.
SRH were expected to be among the top teams, but things haven’t gone their way. They started strong with a big total of 286 in their first match, but after that, they’ve lost four games in a row. Their risky batting style has backfired, with low scores like 163, 120, and 152 in recent matches.
Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma haven’t given good starts, and Ishan Kishan is also not in top form. The bowling has been poor too, with the worst economy rate (10.73) and highest bowling average (41.47) in IPL 2025. Pat Cummins has given away too many runs, and the team still lacks a strong spinner.
PBKS, on the other hand, are full of confidence after beating CSK by 18 runs. They now hold fourth place on the points table with three wins out of four. Their batting line-up looks strong, with new players performing well in every match. Even without big scores from Marcus Stoinis and Glenn Maxwell, Punjab have looked impressive.

Probable Best Bowler: Yuzvendra Chahal
Yuzvendra Chahal from PBKS might be the best bowler against SRH. He has taken just one wicket in four games but has kept things tight. As the highest wicket-taker in league history, Chahal will aim to confuse SRH batters with his clever spin.
