Punjab Kings host Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 17th match of IPL 2026 at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur on April 11, 2026. SRH dominate the all-time head-to-head 17-7 across 24 IPL meetings.
Both teams are on contrasting trajectories. PBKS are unbeaten in IPL 2026 with two wins and one no-result (KKR washout), sitting second on the table with 5 points. Meanwhile, SRH have lost two of their three matches and desperately need a win to keep their playoff hopes alive.
This is a day-night match starting at 3:30 PM IST, so dew is not a factor. With Shreyas Iyer (567 runs vs SRH in IPL history) leading PBKS and Ishan Kishan captaining a stuttering SRH, this Saturday afternoon clash at Mullanpur could define both teams’ seasons.
