PBKS vs SRH LIVE Score: Shreyas Iyer guides Punjab home to another win.
PBKS vs SRH Highlights, IPL 2026: Punjab Kings are once again looking amongst the favourites to make a deep run in the IPL, even if they might think they lost a golden chance to extend a winning run against the ailing KKR as the match was rained out in Eden Gardens earlier this week. Nevertheless, five points and still unbeaten, and still in a terrific position early in the season – Shreyas Iyer’s team are still playing with a chip on their shoulder, and as Ricky Ponting has proven again and again, that is when he is usually at his best.
Back in New Chandigarh for their second of four home games at this venue, a sweltering day game gives them an opportunity to grab a win and keep pace with runaway leaders Rajasthan Royals early on. But in their way are Sunrisers Hyderabad – a team which hasn’t quite clicked with its dangerous batting, but knows it has the potential to be the scariest team in the tournament if it does.
SRH are struggling with the fact that even a spirited set of performances from their depleted and weakened bowling unit hasn’t been enough to collect more than two points from their three games thus far. The bowling doesn’t have a go-to name and is patchy, but there are enough skilled players to defend targets or to restrict opposition – but for that to have an effect, they need the batting to click into gear.
While the likes of Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, and Ishan Kishan are still waiting to leave their mark on the tournament, the bright side has been the form of Nitish Kumar Reddy, who is once again looking like a premier all-rounder after a quiet year last year. Along with him, Heinrich Klaasen has slowly been finding his touch, but is seeking that x-factor which makes him a six-hitting machine. Aniket Verma brings up the back end of this middle order unit, and adds power, youth, and exuberance aplenty.
The issue is that they are running into a team which has arguably the best sense of identity in the entire tournament. Shreyas Iyer’s Punjab Kings have an Indian batting core with license to shoot for the starts, and a bowling unit that has every base covered. They know how they want to play cricket, and it works to give them points on points. PBKS know this is a ripe opportunity to separate themselves from names like Delhi Capitals, Lucknow, and the remainder of the teams who are sitting in that 4-7 range of the table – establish themselves as the team to beat, and counterpunch their way to success from there.

Apr 11, 2026 6:49:18 PM IST
PBKS vs SRH LIVE Score: Punjab need 59 off 36

PBKS vs SRH LIVE Score: 6, 4! Iyer settling nerves
PBKS vs SRH LIVE Score: Just what was needed for PBKS! 10 runs off 2 balls and Punjab continue to have their noses ahead. Picks the slower one and tonks it for an easy six, then prepared for the length to be pulled so cuts it very nicely for four more.
Apr 11, 2026 6:33:18 PM IST
PBKS vs SRH LIVE Score: Shivang Kumar gets his third! Removes Connolly
PBKS vs SRH LIVE Score: Another potentially big moment! Shivang Kumar ensuring SRH slowly pulling things back – he takes his third wicket, tossed up wide of off, Connolly tries to hammer it but can only slice it right up!
PBKS still in control, but this is becoming a little interesting.
Apr 11, 2026 6:23:45 PM IST
PBKS vs SRH LIVE Score: Fifty and out! Prabhsimran gone, Shivang leads comeback
PBKS vs SRH LIVE Score: HUGE moment! Prabhsimran gets to his fifty with a four, but then he accounts for the second PBKS opener! Tossed up outside off and gets enough turn to generate the mishit as Prabh tries to go down the ground – sliced, and very nicely taken by Klaasen at long-off!
The game is on but SRH need to keep chipping away.
Apr 11, 2026 6:13:31 PM IST

Apr 11, 2026 6:07:01 PM IST
PBKS vs SRH LIVE Score: 16-ball half-century for Priyansh!

Apr 11, 2026 5:44:42 PM IST
PBKS vs SRH LIVE Score: 4, 6! What Travishek can do…

Apr 11, 2026 5:39:22 PM IST
PBKS vs SRH LIVE Score: 18 off the first over!

Apr 11, 2026 5:17:55 PM IST
PBKS vs SRH LIVE Score: Klaasen can’t connect! His struggle ends
PBKS vs SRH LIVE Score: Not his day! The big South African simply couldn’t get going. 39 off 33 – not what you expect from him. He knows that he hasn’t capitalised on the start that his team gave him.
Apr 11, 2026 5:09:29 PM IST
PBKS vs SRH LIVE Score: Arshdeep gets a second! Sends Salil back
PBKS vs SRH LIVE Score: Arshdeep has leaked runs but he has gotten a couple of wickets too. It’s somewhat there to be hit, but angling away from Salil – tough to hit that down the ground, sliced up and easily taken.
214/5, 7 balls left.
Apr 11, 2026 5:06:28 PM IST
PBKS vs SRH LIVE Score: Klaasen finally connects for six!

206/4 with two to play.
Apr 11, 2026 4:59:57 PM IST
PBKS vs SRH LIVE Score: 6, 4, run-out! Aniket’s charge prematurely ended
PBKS vs SRH LIVE Score: Big wicket for Punjab! Aniket was getting into his groove with a couple of big hits off Chahal, but miscommunication between him and Klaasen sees him run out!
195/4 now with 20 balls to play.
Apr 11, 2026 4:46:00 PM IST
PBKS vs SRH LIVE Score: GONE! Jansen plucks one-handed catch out of nowhere
PBKS vs SRH LIVE Score: Arshdeep has some joy and he has the big mitts of his fast bowling partner to thank! Kishan flicks it well but not far enough from Jansen – he takes some special catches and tell you what, there was no reason for this one to be that good! He was beaten by the pace of it a bit so didn’t opt to go with two hands – just the one massive hand stuck out, and very easily taken!
Apr 11, 2026 4:43:28 PM IST
PBKS vs SRH LIVE Score: Kishan fetches six off Arshdeep!
PBKS vs SRH LIVE Score: First six in a while, and it is Arshdeep who continues to get the punishment! Not his day at all. Goes for the searing yorker but just misses full, and Kishan whips it for six.
Apr 11, 2026 4:32:35 PM IST
PBKS vs SRH LIVE Score: 143/2 after 11
PBKS vs SRH LIVE Score: Run rate has dropped significantly and it is still at 13. Klaasen and Kishan getting set – Punjab turn to Jansen because of the danger that presents.
Apr 11, 2026 4:22:45 PM IST
PBKS vs SRH LIVE Score: ONE MORE FOR SHASHANK! Gets Abhishek as well
PBKS vs SRH LIVE Score: Can you imagine it! Shashank Singh has turned out to be the golden-est of arms! Wide of off to Abhishek, gets a good piece of it, but not good enough! He hits it straight to Arshdeep who takes a good catch on the boundary!
PBKS clawing ground back.
