Conclusion

The Punjab Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad timeline tells the story of a rivalry that has changed significantly since 2013.

SRH clearly hold the historical advantage, with 18 wins from 26 meetings. Their dominance is especially impressive in Hyderabad, where Punjab have managed only one victory. However, Punjab have produced some outstanding performances, including their 72-run win in Sharjah in 2014, their successful chase at Hyderabad in the same season, and their six-wicket chase of 220 in New Chandigarh in 2026.

The rivalry has also evolved from relatively low-scoring encounters into one of the more explosive batting matchups in the IPL. The 2025 contest, where SRH chased 246 after Punjab scored 245/6, is the clearest example of this transformation.

With 26 matches already completed, SRH remain firmly ahead in the PBKS vs SRH head-to-head battle. But Punjab have shown in recent seasons that they can challenge Hyderabad when their batting and bowling units click together.

That combination of historical dominance, close finishes, huge totals and individual brilliance makes the Punjab Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad match history one of the more interesting head-to-head rivalries to follow in the IPL.
