Sunrisers Hyderabad will face Punjab Kings in Match 27 of IPL 2025. Despite high expectations, SRH, led by Pat Cummins, have struggled, losing four of their five games. Openers Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma haven’t delivered, while Ishan Kishan, Nitish Kumar Reddy, and Heinrich Klaasen lack consistency.
Their strong bowling unit, including Cummins, Shami, and Harshal Patel, needs to step up. In contrast, Punjab have been impressive, winning three of four matches. Captain Shreyas Iyer has led with 168 runs, and youngster Priyansh Arya hit a century against CSK. Arshdeep Singh and Lockie Ferguson have impressed with the ball.
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium Pitch Report
The pitch at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium has seen a shift in behavior lately. SRH head coach Daniel Vettori has also expressed concerns regarding the change. Unlike previous seasons, the surface hasn’t been particularly favorable for batters this time, and that pattern is expected to persist. Opting to bowl first could be the smarter choice, especially with dew likely to impact the second innings. A score above 180 would be considered competitive on this track.
