The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 is heating up as the competition intensifies among teams aiming for the top spot on the points table. In Match 27, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are taking on Punjab Kings (PBKS) in what promises to be a crucial clash for both sides.
Punjab skipper Shreyas Iyer won the toss and elected to bat first tonight.
SRH, despite their explosive form in the previous season where they shattered multiple records, have been unable to replicate that success this year. With just one victory from five matches, they currently sit at the bottom of the table with only two points. Their campaign is quickly slipping away, and they will need a turnaround to stay in contention.
In contrast, Punjab Kings have looked like a well-oiled machine this season. With solid performances across departments, they’ve managed to secure three wins in their first four outings. PBKS are currently placed fourth on the leaderboard with six points and will be aiming to continue their strong run as they face a struggling Hyderabad side.
