Preview

In the 49th match of the IPL 2026, Sunrisers Hyderabad will take on Punjab Kings. Sunrisers Hyderabad had a disappointing performance in their previous match, suffering a 7-wicket defeat against Kolkata Knight Riders. Batting first, SRH managed to post a total of 166 runs. In response, KKR comfortably chased down the target in just 18.2 overs. With the bat, Travis Head once again impressed, smashing a quickfire 61 off just 28 deliveries, while providing solid support with a well-made 42.

However, SRH’s bowling unit failed to deliver. Defending a moderate total, they needed early breakthroughs but were unable to make an impact, allowing KKR’s top order to get off to a strong start. Although Pat Cummins, Shivang Kumar, and Sakib Hussain picked up one wicket each, it wasn’t enough to prevent Kolkata from sealing a comfortable victory.‌

Meanwhile, the Punjab Kings also suffered a 4-wicket defeat against the Gujarat Titans in their last match. Batting first, Punjab set a good target of 164 runs, but Gujarat successfully chased it down in 19.5 overs. Suryanah Shedge impressed with 57 runs, while Marcus Stoinis played a fine innings of 40. However, Punjab’s bowling attack struggled significantly, with only Vijaykumar Vyashak and Arshdeep Singh making an impact by taking two wickets each, while the rest of the bowlers failed to make a good impact.
