Cooper Connolly Ton In Vain As SRH Beat Punjab Kings To Take Top Spot In Table

Sunrisers Hyderabad put up an all-round show to outplay Punjab Kings by 33 runs in their IPL 2026 game at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Wednesday. With the win, the side took the top spot in points table.

Heinrich Klaasen and Ishan Kishan slammed fiery fifties as SRH posted 235 for 4 after opting to bat first. Abhishek Sharma fell for 35 off 13, while Travis Head scored 38 off 19. The duo stitched a 54-run opening stand in 3.3 overs.

Ishan Kishan then scored 55 off 32, while Klaasen slammed 69 off 43 as SRH posted a massive total on the board. PBKS got off to a poor start (4 for 2 in 1.1 overs and 23 for 3 in 3.2 overs) in the chase and never really recovered. Cooper Connolly fought a lone battle with an unbeaten century (107 not out off 59) but lacked support from the other end.
