SRH Vs PBKS Match Prediction: The 19th edition of the Indian Premier League, the world’s most popular franchise cricket league, will be held in 2026. IPL 2026 will feature 10 teams competing for the world’s most prestigious franchise cricket competition trophy.
The Sunrisers Hyderabad also have a massive loyal fanbase. The 2016 IPL champions have evolved from being one of the best bowling sides in the league to now being arguably the most devastating batting unit. This team revolutionised T20 cricket into the high-scoring bonanza we know it as today. Despite that, they failed to make it to the playoffs last season, finishing sixth.
The Sunrisers started their IPL 2026 on the wrong foot, losing to the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their opening game. They then defeated the Kolkata Knight Riders in their second game, before losing a last-ball thriller against the Lucknow Super Giants in their third. Their most recent game ended in a loss to the Punjab Kings. More recently, they defeated the then-unbeaten Rajasthan Royals. They would make it three wins in a row, defeating the Chennai Super Kings and the Delhi Capitals.
They beat the Rajasthan Royals in a high-scoring game before making it five wins in a row with a massive victory over the Mumbai Indians. A defeat against the Kolkata Knight RIders followed. With six wins, four losses, 12 points, and a positive net run rate, Hyderabad is currently third on the points table.
Meanwhile, the Punjab Kings are one of only three teams in the IPL to have never won the league, and one of two that have been here for the whole time. The Punjab Kings have, for much of their history, been a fodder team in the league, with a few playoff appearances under their belt. However, in 2025, they topped the league and reached the final, where they lost to the Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
The Punjab Kings have gotten off to a fine start to their season. They defeated the Gujarat Titans in their opening game, then defeated the Chennai Super Kings in style. Their third game against the Kolkata Knight Riders was washed out, after which they won against the Sunrisers Hyderabad. They remained undefeated after beating the Mumbai Indians, then beat the Lucknow Super Giants.
They then won against the Delhi Capitals in record fashion, completing the highest IPL chase ever, before losing their first match this season to the Rajasthan Royals. Then came a second defeat in a row against the Gujarat Titans. With six wins, two losses, one no result, 13 points, and a solid net run rate, Punjab is currently on top of the points table.

SRH Vs PBKS Match 49 IPL 2026 Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium Pitch Report
While in red-ball cricket, the pitches might appear to favour spin, in white-ball, and especially T20 cricket, the tracks at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium are a batter’s haven. The last IPL season showed how massive scores are within reach here. While there might be some support for the pace bowlers early in the inning, that is doused away as soon as the powerplay is over. The boundaries here are not the shortest. The square boundaries are about 67-69m in length, while the straight boundaries are over 70m away from the batter.
