In the Indian Premier League match held on May 6, 2026, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) triumphed over Punjab Kings (PBKS) by 33 runs at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, Telangana, India. Despite a stellar performance from Cooper Connolly, who scored an unbeaten 107 runs off 59 balls, PBKS struggled to chase down SRH's formidable total of 236 runs. Connolly's century made him the youngest overseas player to achieve this milestone in IPL history.

PBKS's innings began poorly, losing three wickets in the first four overs, which set them back significantly. Connolly briefly found support from Marcus Stoinis and Suryansh Shedge, but the required run rate proved too high. SRH's bowlers, particularly Pat Cummins, who took 2 wickets for 34 runs, ensured that PBKS could not gain momentum.

Earlier, SRH's innings was anchored by Heinrich Klaasen and Ishan Kishan, who scored 69 runs and 55 runs, respectively, leading to a strong total. The victory propelled SRH to the top of the IPL standings with 14 points from 11 matches, while PBKS remains in second place with 6 wins from 10 matches.
