Bottom-dwellers Sunrisers Hyderabad will be eying a return to winning ways in IPL 2025 when they take on Punjab Kings at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Saturday evening.
With just one win in five matches, SRH are reeling at the foot of the table. That sole win for them came in the opening match against Rajasthan Royals. Since then, the Hyderabad outfit has lost four on the bounce.
Punjab Kings are heading in the completely different direction. They have won three times in the first four matches, and could end the day right at the top of the table with a win in this game.
