Punjab Kings will lock horns with Sunrisers Hyderabad in match 17 of the IPL 2026 on Saturday, April 10. The much-awaited face-off kicks off at 3.30 PM IST and will be played at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Stadium in Mullanpur, New Chandigarh.
Ahead of the match, here is a look at the PBKS Vs SRH Dream11 prediction, the fantasy cricket tips, the top player picks and the best-predicted Dream11 team today.
Hot Picks For PBKS Vs SRH Dream11 Team Today- IPL 2026, Match 17
Considering his recent form, Connolly is a must-pick in the PBKS Vs SRH Dream11 prediction team.
Shreyas Iyer
Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer struck a belligerent half-century in his side's triumphant encounter against Chennai Super Kings. The stylish right-hander would be key to the Kings' success in this game.
Yuzvendra Chahal
Ace spinner Yuzvendra Chahal can outfox the batters with his wily variations. Chahal is Punjab's go-to wicket-taker and could be a handy player in the PBKS Vs SRH Dream11 team today.
Sunrisers Hyderabad
Heinrich Klaasen
Veteran South African batter Heinrich Klaasen is Sunrisers' most dependable batter in the middle order.
Klaasen's ability to arrest batting collapse with ease and up the ante in the death overs make him a must-pick in the PBKS Vs SRH Dream11 prediction team.
Besides playing quick-fire knocks, Nitish Reddy can scalp crucial wickets with his medium pace bowling and hence he's among the hot picks for the PBKS Vs SRH Dream11 team today.
Ishan Kishan
Destructive batter Ishan Kishan has registered two consecutive low scores in the IPL 2026. However, the southpaw hammered a breathtaking fifty against RCB and can torment the Punjab Kings bowling attack if he gets going in Mullanpur.
The playing conditions at Mullanpur Stadium generally favour the batters. However, as it's an afternoon game, we expect a hint of swing for the new ball bowlers and some assistance for the spinners, especially in the first half.
However, as the game progresses, the conditions will likely become better for batting. Statistically, the chasing teams have a 50-50 record at this venue, winning six out of twelve IPL matches. Therefore, unless it's an extremely dry surface, the toss-winning team is expected to bowl first.
Therefore, the Indian T20I opener could be a risky pick against Punjab's robust bowling lineup for the PBKS Vs SRH Dream11 prediction team.
Jaydev Unadkat
Veteran Indian seamer Jaydev Unadkat recently went wicketless and was hammered for 50 runs in the Sunrisers' IPL 2026 encounter against LSG. Although Unadkat has lots of experience, the Punjab Kings batters may thrive against his gentle medium pace bowling.
Arshdeep Singh
Experienced Indian pacer Arshdeep Singh has found it tough to pick wickets in the IPL 2026. The left-arm pacer has yet to pick his first wicket in the tournament, registering an economy of 9.90 across three games. Therefore, he could be a risky pick for the PBKS Vs SRH Dream11 team today.
PBKS Vs SRH Differential picks- IPL 2026, Match 17
Priyansh Arya
Young opener Priyansh Arya clobbered his way through to a belligerent 14-ball 39 against CSK.
Given the Sunrisers don't have a potent new ball attack, Priyansh Arya can be a real threat to them in the contest.
Aniket Verma
As most of the participants are likely to pick Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Ishan Kishan, Nitish Reddy and Heinrich Klaasen among the Sunrisers' batting options, young batter Aniket Verma might be one of the least picked player in fantasy contests.
If the tourists lose their top order early, Aniket Verma can be an excellent differential pick in the PBKS Vs SRH Dream11 prediction team.
Xavier Bartlett
Mohammed Shami swung the ball up front and derailed the Sunrisers' top-order in the last game.
Punjab Kings have Xavier Bartlett, who bowled beautifully with the new ball against KKR. So, if Bartlett gets some swing with the new ball, he can be a headache for the SRH top order in this match.

Punjab Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad have incredible batting depth. Therefore, it's advised to pick the in-form batters from both sides. Load your team with batters and batting allrounders and avoid picking too many frontline bowling options.
Considering the probable lineups of both teams and the playing conditions at Mullanpur Stadium, a 2-4-2-3 combination would be ideal for the PBKS Vs SRH Dream11 prediction team.
