Punjab Kings, riding a strong IPL 2026 run, are favored against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Mullanpur. PBKS boasts two wins and a washed-out match, sitting second. Their balanced squad, with key contributions from Bartlett, Prabhsimran, and Connolly, has adapted well. SRH, conversely, struggles for consistency, with their top order and bowling yet to fire.
