SRH vs PBKS Dream11 Prediction, Playing 11, Fantasy Cricket Tips: 27th Match, IPL 2025
The second match of Saturday’s double-header brings us to Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad, where Sunrisers Hyderabad will take on Punjab Kings, a matchup between a team searching for rhythm and another building serious momentum.
Hello and welcome to the SRH vs PBKS Dream11 Prediction, and match preview of the 27th match IPL 2025.
Let’s begin with Sunrisers Hyderabad. It’s been a disappointing campaign so far for last season’s IPL runners-up.
They’ve played 5 matches, won just one, and lost four, which places them at the bottom of the table with 2 points.
After an emphatic win in their opening game against Rajasthan Royals by 44 runs, SRH have completely lost their way, dropping four matches in a row.
Their problem is clear, the batting order is packed with firepower, but the approach has been reckless.
Players like Abhishek Sharma have failed repeatedly, and Nitish Kumar Reddy, despite showing promise, hasn’t been able to convert starts into big scores.
The batting unit needs to play with more discipline and avoid throwing away wickets, especially in the powerplay.
To add to their woes, the bowling hasn’t been tight either. Simarjeet Singh has been expensive and inconsistent, and this is hurting the team in the middle overs.
The bowling unit lacks control and bite, which makes it difficult for SRH to defend or restrict even decent totals.
On the flip side, Punjab Kings have had a solid start to their season. They’ve played 4 matches, won 3, and lost just one, currently sitting at 5th on the points table with 6 points.
Their only loss came against Rajasthan Royals by a big margin of 50 runs, but they bounced back strongly in their last outing with a convincing 18-run win over Chennai Super Kings.
Shreyas Iyer has been exceptional, both with the bat and as a leader. He’s held the middle order together and made smart on-field calls.
While stars like Glenn Maxwell and Marcus Stoinis haven’t fired yet, they remain threats who can explode at any moment.
On the bowling front, Lockie Ferguson has been their enforcer. With his raw pace and regular wickets, he’s leading the attack well and causing problems for opposition batters, especially in the middle and death overs.
As the match heads to Hyderabad’s flat and fast outfield, the pressure is definitely more on SRH to bounce back and keep their playoff hopes alive, while PBKS will be looking to climb further up the table with another win.
The pitch is usually batting-friendly, so if SRH’s explosive lineup clicks, we could see a run-fest, but it all comes down to whether their top order can finally play with some maturity.
