Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) got off to a cracking start against Punjab Kings in match 17 of the IPL 2026 season. Abhishek Sharma plundered 74 runs from just 28 balls with five boundaries and eight huge sixes in New Chandigarh as the ‘Orange Army’ raced to 120-0 in just eight overs.

However, some tight bowling from part-timer Shashank Singh tilted the tide back in Punjab Kings’ favor in the middle overs of the innings. South African international Marco Jansen also made his presence felt on the field with a sharp boundary catch to get rid of dangerman Ishan Kishan.

SRH mount 219 in 20 overs, Marco Jansen wicketless

With the ball, however, Marco Jansen endured a torrid time on the field against SRH at the Mullanpur Stadium. The speedster conceded 40 runs in his four overs without taking a wicket, as his IPL 2026 tally remains stranded at just two wickets from three innings so far.

Batting first, the SRH franchise mounted 219-6 from 20 overs, courtesy of a breathtaking 28-ball 74 from firebrand opener Abhishek Sharma. His opening partner Travis Head also minted 38 runs off 23 balls, and number four Heinrich Klaasen took 33 balls to get to 39 runs with a boundary and a six.

The SRH, on the other hand, is tottering at number six on the points table with one win and two crushing defeats from three matches.
