Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) consigned a depleted Punjab Kings unit to a huge defeat in match number 69 of the IPL 2024 season at Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.

Here’s the timeline of how SRH vs PBKS panned out in Hyderabad-


SRH vs PBKS Highlights: Atharva, Prabhsimran Blaze PBKS To A Strong Start

In the absence of several senior members, young Punjab Kings openers Atharva Taide and Prabhsimran Singh blitzed past SRH’s new-ball pace trio with utmost ease. 

The two youngsters took the attack to Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Pat Cummins and T Natarajan for a 61-run powerplay start during their 97-run partnership in just 9.1 overs.

Atharva cracked five boundaries and a couple of sixes during his 27-ball 46 until T Natarajan dismissed him. Prabhsimran, on the other hand, top-scored in the innings through his belligerent 45-ball 71.


SRH vs PBKS Highlights: Rilee Rossouw, Jitesh Sharma Ensure Huge Finish

Emboldened by Atharva Taide and Prabhsimran Singh’s 97-run opening partnership, Punjab Kings’ sole overseas star Rilee Rossouw drilled 49 runs from 24 balls in the backend of the innings.

While IPL 2024 cult heroes Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma failed to capitalize on the batting-friendly surface, first-time skipper Jitesh Sharma (32* from 15) ensured his team ended on a solid note at 214-5 from 20 overs.


SRH vs PBKS Highlights: Travis Head A First-Baller In Run-Chase

Chasing 215 for a win, SRH’s run-machine Travis Head was knocked over by Arshdeep Singh off the first ball of the innings. The Australia-based opener, who subbed in for T Natarajan, was done in by Arshdeep’s glorious seam movement as the ball clipped the top of his off stump.


SRH vs PBKS Highlights: Abhishek Sharma, Tripathi Steady SRH’s Response

After getting jolted by Arshdeep Singh at 0-1, a seemingly unfazed Abhishek Sharma carried on with his usual flair, launching six sixes and five boundaries to form 66 runs from just 28 balls. The youngster shared a 72-run second-wicket stand with Rahul Tripathi (18-ball 33) from 29 balls and ensured SRH reached 84-2 by the end of their mandatory powerplay.


SRH vs PBKS Highlights: Nitish Kumar, Klaasen Ace The Chase For SRH

Following Abhishek Sharma’s dismissal at the hands of Shashank Singh at 129-3 in 10.1 overs, SRH’s middle-order batters Nitish Kumar Reddy (25-ball 37) and Heinrich Klaasen (26-ball 42) took over the scoring onus on themselves with identical run-chase specials.

Their collective brilliance set up an easy course for SRH’s lower order to cruise past Punjab Kings’ 214-run total in the final over of the game. Abdul Samad made a vital 11* while Sanvir Singh hacked the winning boundary to bring up a four-wicket win for the ‘Orange Army’.

The outcome helped SRH displace Rajasthan Royals from the number two spot on the IPL 2024 points table.
