Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) return home with their backs to the wall, desperate to turn their fortunes around as they take on a confident Punjab Kings (PBKS) side in Match 27 of Indian Premier League (IPL) on Saturday at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad on Saturday. After an electrifying start to the season, SRH have stumbled into a worrying slide that threatens to derail their campaign unless they act swiftly.

SRH were being hailed as the team to beat after they put on a breathtaking batting display to post 286/3 against Rajasthan Royals - the second-highest team total in IPL history. The victory by 44 runs was not just dominant; it was a statement of intent.

With the likes of Travis Head, Heinrich Klaasen, and Abhishek Sharma in their ranks, Hyderabad seemed poised to rewrite T20 batting templates with an ultra-aggressive approach that had bowlers on the back foot.
