Just the start of the weekend - We have reached the end of another high-scoring and high-octane clash but it's just the first one of the weekend, there are three more to go. To round off Saturday, the 11th of April, we head down south, to Chennai, where the Super Kings are looking for their first win of the season, up against Delhi Capitals, who are looking to bounce back after their first loss of the season as well. The Capitals have opted to BOWL first in that game, which is about to start in a few minutes. You can simply switch tabs and tune in to our coverage of that contest. Cheers!
POTM - Shreyas Iyer! The Punjab Kings skipper, Shreyas Iyer, is awarded the accolade for his game-clinching knock of 69 unbeaten off 33 balls. Iyer says that it was very pleasing to watch how the openers batted in the Powerplay and he decided to take his time as the foundation was laid. Mentions that it was Shashank Singh himself who asked to bowl, and during the Strategic Break, he conferred with the coach Ricky Ponting, who also went for it. Kudos to Shashank for showing that responsibility and executing his plans as well. Adds that you need to have the right mentality heading into these big run chases, which is not a problem with their openers and hopes that the others also continue in the same way. He further adds that the players are working hard and the two days off they had after the previous game also helped. Ends by saying that a lot of credit also goes to their coach Ricky Ponting and last year they were so close to lifting the trophy, and this year they want to get their hands on it.
... The post-match Presentation ceremony ...
Let's quickly recap the first innings - After being put into bat, the devastating duo of Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head had a day out in the middle. They amassed an astonishing 105 runs in the Powerplay before things started to go downhill. Out of ideas, Shreyas Iyer threw the ball to part-timer Shashank Singh and his gentle medium pacers turned the game on its head. He sent back both set openers and the Kings capitalized.
The Kings' Assistant Coach shares his thoughts - Brad Haddin says that he is glad he is not a bowler in the first six overs. Adds that they remained pretty calm after the Powerplay and executed their plans well in the middle overs, pulling the game back. Mentions that there has been some phenomenal hitting this season, but he has not seen such destruction in the first six overs as he saw in this game. Shares that the key is to keep their mind clear and try to pick up wickets in the Powerplay, which they managed to do against KKR. Says that you need to be brave when batters are looking to take you on in the first six overs, and just try to gain the momentum back and try to control things from there. Ends by saying that they are getting the results, but haven't had a complete game yet but they will keep on improving as the league enters the middle phase.
Back-to-back defeats for the Orange Army - Another game that Sunrisers Hyderabad could have easily panned out differently, but they only have themselves to blame as they didn't play the big moments well, just like in their last game against LSG and they now have just one win from their opening four matches. 219 wasn't what they would have liked, especially given the start they had with the bat, but it was still a more than decent total on this pitch. However, their bowlers didn't take any pointers from the first innings and were put away with ease inside the Powerplay. Left-arm wrist-spinner Shivang Kumar then came in and gave them real hope as he picked up 3 wickets, but the pacers just couldn't get a grip on the game and they were blown away with ease.
Let's now hear from the Sunrisers' skipper- Ishan Kishan says that they could have batted well in the middle and gotten to something around 250. Adds that Punjab batted well in the Powerplay, but they (SRH) didn't execute their plans that well. Mentions that he thought 219 was a decent score on this wicket, and with 5-6 bowlers in your side, you back yourself but it just didn't go their way. Shares that you don't plan much in modern T20 cricket, they tried to use the longer boundary but it again comes down to execution and planning, which cost them a lot of runs and ultimately the game.
Riding high on confidence - Chasing 220 for the win, Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh started in familiar fashion, getting PBKS off to a flier, notching up 93 runs in the Powerplay. Similar to the first innings, things started to change after the Powerplay and the batters lost a bit of rhythm after the Strategic Break. The opening stand was broken when the score was 99, and then PBKS were 128/3 at one stage, with both openers having scored a fifty each. However, skipper Shreyas Iyer took the game by the scruff of the neck and powered his side to victory, remaining unbeaten on 69 off just 33 balls as Shashank Singh added the finishing touches.
The unbeaten run continues - Punjab Kings make it three wins out of three (completed matches) and remain the only other unbeaten team besides Rajasthan Royals in the 2026 season of the IPL. It was a clinical showing with the bat, and the Kings have now picked up 7 points in 4 matches to stay in touching distance with the top spot in the table. Punjab Kings become the first team to chase down a total of 200 or more 10 times in the IPL, beating their own record of 9 successful chases before this one. It was a clinical show with the bat as 3 out of their top 4 batters went on to score a half-century. Most 200-plus targets successfully chased in the IPL - 1. Punjab Kings - 10*, 2. Mumbai Indians - 6, 3. Rajasthan Royals - 5, 4. Royal Challengers Bengaluru - 4, 5. Sunrisers Hyderabad - 4.

Excellent effort! Slows it up, full and on off, turns away. Shashank Singh goes for the inside-out shot again but mistimes it high in the air. Shivang Kumar from cover-point runs a long way to his right, puts in a full-length dive but just fails to reach the ball. They cross and the 200 also comes up for PBKS.

Too little too late for SRH? Maybe, yes, but in cricket you never know. With that said, Shashank Singh walks out to bat at number 6.

Harsh Dubey To Nehal Wadhera OUT!
OUT! TIMBER! Harsh Dubey gets a wicket but it looks like it's too little too late for SRH. Harsh Dubey fires in a yorker, on off. Nehal Wadhera steps across and tries to get under it to launch it down the ground but fails to do so. The ball dips late and sneaks under the bat to rattle into the off pole.

SIX! FIFTY FOR IYER! Back-to-back half-centuries for Iyer, and he is leading from the front here. This is a fuller delivery and on middle. Shreyas Iyer steps across to get inside the line of it and smokes it over the wide long on fence for a biggie.
