SRH vs PBKS head to head stats and numbers you need to know before the IPL 2021 Match 37
After losing to the Delhi Capitals in their first game of IPL 2021 UAE leg, the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will head to the Sharjah Cricket Stadium tonight to clash with the seventh-placed Punjab Kings (PBKS). Like SRH, PBKS suffered a defeat in their opening fixture of the United Arab Emirates leg.
The Punjab Kings needed four runs to win off the final over in their match against the Rajasthan Royals. Although they had lost only two wickets prior to the 20th over, PBKS somehow found a way to lose by two runs.
The KL Rahul-led outfit will be keen to forget the match against RR and make a fresh start to their 2021 Indian Premier League season in Sharjah tonight. SRH and PBKS met once earlier this year, where Hyderabad beat Punjab by nine wickets.
