The Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will host the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Match 27 of IPL 2025 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on April 12. Both teams are looking to strengthen their campaigns as the league enters a crucial phase.
SRH have struggled this season after a promising start, losing four consecutive matches following their explosive opening game against Rajasthan Royals, where they scored a record 286 runs. Their batting lineup, featuring Travis Head, Ishan Kishan, Abhishek Sharma, and Heinrich Klassen, has failed to deliver consistently, resulting in modest scores in recent games (163, 120, and 152). Captain Pat Cummins will need to inspire his team both with leadership and performance as SRH sit at the bottom of the points table.
PBKS have shown glimpses of promise under their new captain Shreyas Iyer but have lacked consistency. They have a strong squad with impactful players like Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Marco Jansen. PBKS will look to capitalize on SRH’s poor form and maintain their momentum as they aim for a playoff spot.

Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium Pitch Report:
The Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad has earned a reputation as a haven for batters, and the upcoming fixture promises another high-scoring affair. The pitch offers true bounce and a lightning-quick outfield, making it ideal for stroke-makers to play with confidence and freedom. Last season, three of the six matches played at this venue saw both teams surpass the 200-run mark, highlighting the flat surface and short boundaries that leave little margin for error for bowlers. Considering the stadium’s history, the team winning the toss is likely to opt to bat first.
