IPL 2025: When is PBKS’s Next Match? All you need to know about their Opponent, Probable XI, & head-to-head stats

The Punjab Kings (PBKS) have returned to winning ways after a thrilling victory over Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in their previous outing. The high-scoring encounter saw captain Shreyas Iyer lead from the front, as PBKS displayed grit and aggression to hand CSK another defeat in what has been a lackluster season for the five-time champions. With that win, Punjab have reignited their campaign and will look to build momentum heading into their next clash.

Up next for PBKS is a face-off against the struggling Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), a team that has been far from its best this season. Despite boasting some big hitters in their squad, SRH has lacked cohesion and consistency. Their bowling unit, in particular, has been a weak link—failing to contain opposition batters and leaking runs in crucial moments. A defeat here could push them further down the points table, making this a must-win for the Orange Army.

Match details

• Fixture: Punjab Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad

• Date & Time: April 12, 2025 – 7:30 PM IST

• Venue: Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium

Probable XI

Prabhsimran Singh (wk), Shreyas Iyer (c), Nehal Wadhera, Prerit Arya, Glenn Maxwell, Shashank Singh, Marcus Stoinis, Marco Jansen, Lockie Ferguson, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal.

Punjab’s lineup appears well-balanced with a strong blend of Indian and overseas talent. The top order, led by Prabhsimran and Iyer, provides stability, while the middle order carries explosive options in Maxwell and Stoinis. Bowling remains a strength with Chahal’s leg-spin and Ferguson’s pace offering variety alongside Arshdeep’s consistent death bowling.

Head-to-Head record (PBKS vs SRH)

Sunrisers Hyderabad have a commanding edge over Punjab Kings in their past encounters. Out of 23 matches played, SRH have won 16, while PBKS have managed just 7 victories. SRH also hold the record for the highest total in this rivalry, scoring 215, while PBKS’s best stands at 214. However, Punjab’s lowest of 119 and SRH’s 114 reflect the unpredictable nature of their contests.
