In the 27th match of IPL 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad chased down 246 runs — the second-highest run chase in IPL history — to defeat Punjab Kings by 8 wickets and end their four-match losing streak. Abhishek Sharma lit up the Hyderabad sky with a blistering 141 off just fifty balls — his maiden IPL century and the highest by an Indian in IPL — while Travis Head smashed 66 as the duo added 171 runs in just 12.2 overs.
Punjab Kings had earlier posted 245/6, thanks to a fiery 82 from Shreyas Iyer and a late flourish by Marcus Stoinis, who hit four consecutive sixes off Shami. Harshal Patel was the standout bowler with 4 for 42, helping restrict PBKS from what could have been a 270+ total. Despite strong efforts, PBKS couldn’t stop the Travishek storm as SRH won with nine balls to spare in a memorable night for the Orange Army.
