Few IPL pairings are as lopsided as the SRH vs PBKS head to head: Sunrisers Hyderabad have won 18 of 26 meetings with Punjab Kings since 19 Apr 2013.
The latest game went the same way, with SRH winning by 33 runs in Hyderabad on 6 May 2026. Games from Punjab’s Kings XI years, a name used until 2020, count here too, so every SRH vs KXIP clash is included. Player figures leave out super overs.
Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings: How the Lead Was Built
SRH built most of their lead early. From 2013 to 2017 they won 8 of 10 meetings, and only 2014 went Punjab’s way, when Punjab Kings won both games. Then the rivalry evened out: every season from 2018 to 2022 ended one win each.
Since 2023 Sunrisers Hyderabad have pulled ahead again, winning five of the last six. The one Punjab win in that run came at Mullanpur on 11 Apr 2026, when they chased 223/4 in 18.5 overs.
Home ground matters more here than anywhere. At the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad, SRH have won 10 of 11. Punjab’s best ground is Sharjah, where they won both meetings, including their biggest win, a 72-run thrashing in Apr 2014. Batting first has 14 wins to chasing’s 12, so neither choice has been decisive, and first innings totals have averaged 175.
