thebalanced.newsSunrisers Hyderabad Score 235 as Punjab Kings Drop Multiple Catches in IPL 2026
In the IPL 2026 match at Hyderabad, Sunrisers Hyderabad posted 235 for four, powered by Heinrich Klaasen's 69 and Ishan Kishan's 55. Punjab Kings' spinner Yuzvendra Chahal bowled economically but faced frustration as six catches were dropped off his bowling, including key chances by Shashank Singh. These fielding lapses allowed SRH batters to capitalize on a batting-friendly pitch, contrasting with SRH's effective fielding that helped dismiss early PBKS wickets.
