SRH vs PBKS Dream11 Prediction: Dream11 Team Today, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report, Injury Update - IPL 2026, Match 49

The clash between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Punjab Kings comes at an important point in the season, with both teams looking to bounce back after losses in their previous games. Hyderabad are coming into this match after losing to Kolkata Knight Riders, where they lost wickets quickly and were bowled out for 165.

KKR chased the target comfortably in 18.2 overs with 7 wickets in hand, which showed that SRH still have issues in their middle order when early momentum is lost. Meanwhile, the Punjab Kings also faced a defeat in their last match against the Gujarat Titans. They scored 164, which looked like a fighting total, but their bowlers couldn’t defend it as GT chased it down in the final over, winning by 4 wickets.

There were some positives for Punjab, including a half-century from Suryansh Shedge and useful runs from Marcus Stoinis, but their bowling in the final overs needs improvement. Earlier this season, when these two teams met, the Punjab Kings had the upper hand as they chased down SRH’s total with ease, winning by 6 wickets.
