IPL 2025, SRH vs PBKS Live Score: Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head’s jaw-dropping assault leaves Punjab shell-shocked

SRH vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings: Stoinis has a word with the broadcasters before heading back to the dressing room. “Has been a slow start for me, but that felt nice. Looks like there was a bit of spin and bounce. It was all about staying still. It is very good score. We will want to start well in the powerplay,” he said.

SRH vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings: Well scratch all that was said earlier about SRH’s good finish. Mohammed Shami’s figures have been absolutely dumped by Marcus Stoinis here. He has ended up conceding 27 runs in this over, and finishes the innings with figures of 0/75, the second worst for anyone in the history of the IPL.

Jansen took a single off the first ball and then Stoinis ran two. The third is a length ball on leg stump, Stoinis biffs over long on for a monster six. Then he uses his long levers to clear deep midwcket fourth ball. The fifth ball is sent over deep mid again and the last is sent soaring over deep square leg.

Stoinis finishes on 34 off 11. PBKS do get close to 250 after all.

SRH vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings: Well it would’ve been four runs had it not been for Marcus Stoinis hitting his Australia teammate over mid-on for four last ball. This is a very good effort from SRH in the death. The question remains as to whether it is too late, but objectively, their battered fast bowlers can take some positives from this.

Mohammed Shami to bowl the last over, Marco Jansen on strike.

PBKS 218/6 in 19 overs

SRH vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings: No century for the PBKS captain as he finds the point fielder to perfection.

SRH vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings: Harshal Patel floats in a dipping full toss first ball, Maxwell shapes up to reverse it, misses it entirely and the ball brushes his pads and hits the stumps.

PBKS 205/5 in 17.1 overs

SRH vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings: And we can start muttering about a potential century here for the incredible Iyer. Malinga bowls out in the 17th, the first ball is in Iyer’s arc and he pulverises it through extra cover for four. Two singles after that and then Iyer sends the fourth fine for a four. The next ball is sent fine again for another four and then Iyer makes a hat-trick of it by hitting the last ball past extra cover.

PBKS 205/4 in 17 overs

SRH vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings: Ansari bowls out in the 16th, Shreyas hit a six off the third ball in that over, inside out over cover, and that makes it 10 off it. He is on 64 off 30 balls, he has Glenn Maxwell at the other end. Maxwell, remember, has been woefully out of touch with the bat this season. Even then, Cummins of all people would know just how important it is to get him out as quickly as possible.

PBKS 187/4 in 16 overs

SRH vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings: Just eight runs and a wicket off that 14th over and then Harshal dismisses the dangerous Shashank Singh with his first ball in the 15th!

PBKS 168/4 in 14.1 overs

SRH vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings: Malinga with an inch-perfect yorker on the stumps, similar to what his legendary namesake used to do. Wadhera is struck full on the pads, SRH appeal and the umpire raises his finger. It had looked plumb in real time but well, replays later show that it may have been worth reviewing for PBKS. The ball is missing leg stump on the ball-tracker.

Wadhera lbw b Malinga 27 (22)

PBKS 164/2 in 13.3 overs

SRH vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings: This is Iyer’s fastest IPL fifty and he has scored three of these in five appearances for PBKS. Unbelievable stuff from the new PBKS captain. Shami returns for the 13th over, Iyer opens the face of the bat third ball and sends the ball to the boundary past the wicketkeeper to get to 52 in 22 balls.

He gets off strike next ball and then Wadhera sends the fourth past square leg for four. Single to end the over, he is on 23 off 19, Iyer on 53 off 23.

PBKS 160/2 in 13 overs

SRH vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings: Ansari continues for his third over and this time, he is creamed for 20 runs. But it would’ve been 14 and a wicket had Abhishek not made a meal out of a catch at long-off. Iyer goes for a big hit last ball but it spun away from him and he ends up plicing it. The balls goes high up in the air, Abhishek settles under it but doesn’t realise that he is going to step on the rope! He treads it as the ball reaches him, loses his footing and falls beyond the boundary, as does the ball. Iyer had hit a six and a four off the second and third balls of that over before that.

He has now reaced 48 in 21 balls, Wadhera on 17 off 15.

PBKS 149/2 in 12 overs

SRH vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings: Relatively better for the SRH captain considering the way he had been thrashed in his first two overs.

SRH vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings: CSK couldn’t even close to this score in 20 overs yesterday. It has to be noted, though, that Zeeshan Ansari has done a really good work thus far for SRH. He concedes just four singles in the 10th over and this means that PBKS have slowed down quite significantly overall in these middle overs. Despite this, 250 looks quite realistic for them at the moment.

PBKS 120/2 in 10 overs

SRH vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings: Just seven runs came off the eighth over by spinner Zeeshan Ansari. Malinga continues after that and four runs come off the first three. Then Shreyas slogs the fourth ball just over deep midwicket for a six. Gets off strike next ball and Nehal Wadhera picks up the last one and sends it over fine leg for a six.

Iyer on 22 off 11, Wadhera on 11 off seven.

PBKS 116/2 in 9 overs

SRH vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings: The name Malinga has returned to the IPL wicket-takers’ list. Eshan Malinga digs in the fifth ball of the seventh over, it didn’t have too much pace and it looks like Prabhsimran was early on the shot. Top edge and caught at mid-off. The stadium goes “Malinga! Malinga!” the way the Wankhede Stadium used to a few years back.

Prabhsimran Singh c Cummins b Malinga 42 (23)

PBKS 91/2 in 7 overs

SRH vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings: Prabhsimran hit a four off the first ball of that sixth over by Harshal but the batters got just three more singles and a double in that over. It had started to look like a relatively good end to the powerplay but then Iyer hit the last delivery over midwicket for a six.

Iyer on nine off three, Prabhsimran on 41 off 20.

PBKS 89/1 in 6 overs

SRH vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings: A 66-run partnership, which came in just 24 balls, has come to an end. Harshal has been trying to outfox these two with the slower ball in the fourth over and he finally gets the reward, but only after coping 13 runs with Prabhsimran hitting a four with a cut shot over short third man third ball and Arya blasting the fifth over the bowler’s head for a very flat six. Harshal’s last ball is slow again from over the wicket on a length. Arya moves outside off and takes a swipe, top edge and midwicket takes the cloud-toucher.

Arya c Nitish Kumar Reddy b Patel 36 (13)

PBKS 66/1 in 4 overs

SRH vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings: Arya and Prabhsimran doing to SRH what Head and Abhishek did for them last season. Shami continues, the first ball is flat-batted back over the bowler for a six by Arya. The second is sent over cover for another six. Shami bowls a yorker third ball on the pads, Arya flicks it through midwicket for four. A single fifth ball and then Prabhsimran smashes the last ball, a full toss, over deep square leg for another six.

Prabhsimran is on 23 off eight, Arya on 29 off 10. This innings has taken ridiculous proportions already.

PBKS 53/0 in 3 overs

SRH vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings: After Mohammed Shami, it is Pat Cummins’ turn to get some metaphorical chin music. The second ball by Cummins is a length ball, Arya picks it up and deposits it over square leg for six. Then he glances the third ball past fine leg for four. The next ball is wide down the leg side, then an inch-perfect yorker, Arya jams it to midwicket and gets off strike. The last ball is slow and shortish, Prabhsimran waits and then cuts it for four. He is on 17 off seven, Arya on 12 off five.

SRH vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings: Mohammed Shami bowls the first over, Arya gets off strike first ball and Prabhsimran then drives the second right past the bowler and sets off. Kishan runs back and stops the ball, then he is absolutely clueless about its wherabouts as the white ball has camouflaged itself right in front of him on the advertising mat. Cummins runs in and throws the ball but in that time, the batters take an extra run! But then it turns out that it was a short run and so only a single at the end of all that. Then Prabhsimran clears mid-on fourth ball for four, sends the fifth past mid-off for another and then smashes the last through cover to make it 14 runs off the first over.

SRH vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings: Prabhsimran Singh hasn’t really hit the races the way his opening partner Priyansh Arya has and yet the fact remains, this is a daunting opening partnership for SRH to handle.

SRH vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings: Priyansh Arya, Prabhsimran Singh(w), Shreyas Iyer(c), Marcus Stoinis, Nehal Wadhera, Glenn Maxwell, Shashank Singh, Marco Jansen, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, Lockie Ferguson

Impact Subs: Suryansh Shedge, Yash Thakur, Praveen Dubey, Vyshak Vijaykumar, Harpreet Brar

SRH vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings: Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Ishan Kishan, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Heinrich Klaasen(w), Aniket Verma, Pat Cummins(c), Harshal Patel, Zeeshan Ansari, Mohammed Shami, Eshan Malinga

SRH vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings: Shreyas Iyer has won it and the Punjab Kings are batting first.

SRH vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings: Pommoe Mbangwa and Michael Clarke are out there with the pitch report for you today. Here is what they said: “Atmospherically, it is okay, doesn’t feel too hot and that’s a good thing, the players will feel good about that. Normally it is steamy here. Playing dimensions are small and smaller, 63 and 69m square boundaries, 77m straight. It’s good to be a batsman. The only bit of grass is here behind the stumps, it’s an absolute belter, it looks beautiful and it’s going to play well. I think you’re looking at 220-230 par score. Ideally, win the toss and bat for 40 overs – well that’s not in the rules. It’s the notorious pitch no. 2 where 211 is the par score. We haven’t seen too much dew here, the toss doesn’t play too big a part. Pristine conditions.”

SRH vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings: Shreyas Iyer has been striking at exactly 200 in his first four matches as PBKS captain. He has smashed 168 runs thus far and is averaging 84. Iyer crossed 50 in two of the four innings he has played thus far, scoring an unbeaten 97 in the first occasion and an unbeaten 52 in the second.

SRH vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings: It doesn’t really help if your captain is your most leaky fast bowler. His economy this season thus far has been 11.16, a far cry from the 7.30 in the first five matches of 2024.

SRH vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings: SRH head coach Daniel Vettori said after the defeat to CSK that the team still wants their top order batters to go hard. At the same time, though, he gave the rider that they need “respect conditions”. A dilemma of Shakespearan proportions might be something that SRH would’ve really loved to avoid this season.

SRH vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings: The Kings have found different batting heroes for almost every single match thus far this season but the one who has been a constant has been Shashank Singh. The PBKS finisher has scored 106 runs thus far this season at a strike rate of 163.07 and is yet to be dismissed.

SRH vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings: PBKS are going along at a cool total batting average of 34.22 this season. This is the second highest for any side this season. SRH, on the other hand, are at 20.06, the worst among all sides.

SRH vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings: Glenn Maxwell didn’t cut a very happy figure after being caught and bowled by Ashwin in PBKS’s last match against CSK. The powers that be for the tournament however deemed that his show of frustration was a but too much and slapped a demerit point on him while taking a fine of 25 per cent of his match fees.

SRH vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings: Ishan Kishan’s battles against Arshdeep Singh and Yuzvendra Chahal have been interesting affairs. He has struck 31 runs in 15 balls while being dismissed three times. And against Chahal, he strikes at nearly 172 but has also fallen three times to him in 32 balls.

SRH vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings: A simple look at the difference between the averages of the opening stand between Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma last season and this season should tell you to what extent they have been a shadow of what they were last year. The pair averaged 49.00 last season and this has dropped to 16.80 this IPL.

SRH vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings: A huge part of SRH’s blinding run rates last season was the frankly ludicrous opening stands that Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma were putting up. Conversely, SRH have been hurt by this opening stand not really firing this season.

SRH vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings: SRH changed the definition of a strong powerplay total last season but their fortunes have been at the opposite end of the scale. SRH have lost 12 wickets in the powerplay, the most for any team thus far this season. CSK come second with 10 wickets.

SRH vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings: Bhuvneshwar Kumar has started his life as an RCB player this season with five wickets in four matches. He has bowled 15 overs and has an economy of 7.80. He is averaging 23.40 and has a strike rate of 18.00. All of this means that he hasn’t exactly set the tournament on fire but they also point out that he has been efficient. What screams out on that table of wicket-takers this season is that Bhuvneshwar sits above all of SRH’s bowlers. Add to this the fact that SRH’s pace attack has the worst average (42.86) and second worst economy rate (10.74) among the seam attacks in IPL 2025 and the question needs to be asked, how smart was it for them to let go of their old warhorse.

SRH vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings: Only once have SRH lost a home match in Hyderabad to PBKS and that was way back in 2014. SRH also dominate the head-to-head stats 16-7. However, this is arguably the first time that Punjab are coming into a match against SRH on the back of such strong form, and conversely Sunrisers have been so dismal.

SRH vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings: Priyansh Arya, Prabhsimran Singh(w), Shreyas Iyer(c), Marcus Stoinis, Nehal Wadhera, Glenn Maxwell, Shashank Singh, Marco Jansen, Arshdeep Singh, Lockie Ferguson, Yuzvendra Chahal, Yash Thakur, Suryansh Shedge, Praveen Dubey, Azmatullah Omarzai, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Josh Inglis, Xavier Bartlett, Vishnu Vinod, Aaron Hardie, Kuldeep Sen, Harpreet Brar, Harnoor Singh, Musheer Khan, Pyla Avinash

SRH vs PBKS IPL Live Score 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings: SRH were the irresistible force last season and Punjab Kings were the extremely movable object. This season, the roles seem to have been reversed diametrically. Stay tune for more updates!
