Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will face Punjab Kings (PBKS) in match number 49 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Wednesday, May 6.
The Orange Army turned things around brilliantly after a slow start to the season, celebrating five consecutive wins before losing to Kolkata Knight Riders in their last game. They are third in the points table with six wins and four losses in 10 matches.
Meanwhile, Punjab Kings have won six of their first seven matches. However, the law of averages probably applied.
These two teams faced each other in the beginning of the tournament. In Mullanpur, Shreyas Iyer and Company defeated Sunrisers by six wickets. However, when these two teams meet again, past records will not matter much.
While Sunrisers is at number 3, Punjab is at the top.
