Yesterday’s match in the TATA IPL 2026 was played at the ACA Stadium in Guwahati, and now the action shifts from the eastern region to the northernmost territory of India, to the PCA New Stadium in New Chandigarh. The Punjab Kings and the Sunrisers Hyderabad will face each other at this venue, which is the home ground of the former side.
The two teams had had contrasting starts to their IPL campaign, as the Punjab Kings are undefeated in the competition, while, on the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad have managed to win only one of their three games. The PBKS vs SRH match is scheduled to be played at the PCA New Stadium from 7:30 PM IST.
IPL 2026: PBKS vs SRH Preview:
The Punjab Kings had a very promising run in the IPL back in the previous season in 2025. The Punjab Kings had managed to win the majority of their league stage matches in 2025, and they also qualified for the finals of the competition. However, they ended the season as the runners-up after losing the final match by a very close margin of just 6 runs.

Sunrisers Hyderabad could not excel in the previous season of the competition, where they finished in sixth position in the points table. The Sunrisers had finished as the runners-up of the same competition back in 2024, when they lost the final to the former IPL champions Kolkata Knight Riders. At that time, Shreyas Iyer used to lead KKR.
Currently, the Punjab Kings are placed second on the IPL points table after having won two of their first three matches, with their last match ending without a result. Sunrisers are currently in the sixth position in the points table and might be looking to rise to the fifth position, replacing the Lucknow Super Giants.
