SRH vs PBKS Dream11 Prediction Today | Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report – IPL 2025, 27th Match

Match Preview

The Sunrisers will need to start stringing better performances together because of some poor results following a promising start. Heinrich Klaasen has made numerous starts without kicking on. He could be a key batter if he can start converting into significant scores.

Punjab Kings are moving upwards after three wins and only a single loss in their first four IPL games for 2025. Their win in the previous game came off the back of some notable individual performances.

SRH vs PBKS Dream11 Top Picks

Wicketkeeper

The choice here comes down to what you want from your wicketkeeper. Heinrich Klaasen of SRH will be the more consistent run-scorer, but has yet to explode to life in this tournament. He is capable of a destructive innings though. Prabhsimran Singh hit a half-century against LSG, but has had lower scores around that.

Batters

The story is largely the same for some of the top choices here. Nehal Wadhera, Priyansh Arya and Aniket Verma have all showcased their boundary-striking brilliance in their best innings of this year. Arya hit a century in his previous game. Both Wadhera and Verma have hit half-centuries this season.

All Rounders

The all-rounders of the Punjab Kings are largely the better options for your team. The team is stacked with the quality and experience of Australian pair Glenn Maxwell and Marcus Stoinis. Between them, they have 4693 IPL runs and 83 IPL wickets. Young South African Marco Jansen has also been a star internationally, particularly with the ball. He has three wickets in this season’s IPL.

Bowlers

Lockie Ferguson and Arshdeep Singh of Punjab could be some fast-bowling options to think about. They have more than 430 T20 wickets between them. The SRH pair of Pat Cummins and Mohammed Shami will be another experienced duo to ponder for selection in your lineup. For comparison, they have almost 400 T20 wickets in combination.

SRH vs PBKS Captain and Vice-Captain Choices

Captain

Heinrich Klaasen could be a banker for this spot because of how regularly he has contributed to the team, despite overall disappointing team efforts. The hard-hitting wicketkeeper-batter has amassed a batting average of over 30 and a batting strike rate over 150 for his last ten IPL appearances.

Vice-Captain

Glenn Maxwell has gone about his business with bat and ball for Punjab this season. By his standards, he has still been very quiet with the bat. He did score 30 runs against Rajasthan though. With the ball, he has taken almost one wicket per game.
