SRH vs PBKS, IPL 2025: Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) would be looking to get back to winning ways when they host Punjab Kings (PBKS) in  the evening match of the double-header on Saturday in Hyderabad. SRH, reputed to be one of the most fearsome sides in the Indian Premier League (IPL), have lost their 4 matches on the trot, with two of those defeats coming at home. As a result, SRH are languishing at the tenth spot in the points table.

PBKS, on the other hand, have been a revelation in this IPL edition having won 3 of their matches, the last victory coming against five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK). The Punjab Kings haven't won a game in Hyderabad in almost ten years. Their bowlers need to be at the top of their game to win.
