The Punjab Kings return to their home turf at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur to face Sunrisers Hyderabad today, April, 11, 2026. While the “Kings” have been in dominant form, there is a lingering shadow of uncertainty regarding the atmospheric conditions in New Chandigarh. Fans are particularly anxious after seeing the PBKS previous match against KKR abandoned due to heavy rain. With the afternoon clash scheduled for 3:30 PM IST, all eyes are on the weather radar to see if the heat will give way to unexpected thunderstorms. As Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan lead their respective units into this Match 17 battle, the weather remains the biggest wildcard of the day.
PBKS vs SRH, IPL 2026 Mullanpur Weather Today: Will it Rain in Punjab Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Match 17?
Currently, the weather in New Chandigarh is mostly sunny with a temperature of 29°C. While the present conditions are ideal for cricket, the daily forecast suggests a 20% chance of daytime precipitation. The humidity stands at 38%, and northwest winds are blowing at 8 mph. The peak temperature is expected to hold at 29°C during the match hours, but the “partly sunny” outlook for the afternoon indicates that cloud cover could increase as the game progresses. If the 20% rain probability materialises into a shower, we could see a brief delay or a slightly shortened contest. However, the night-time forecast is much clearer with a 0% chance of rain, ensuring that if a delay occurs, the match should still find a result.

Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Stadium Pitch Report
Spinners could step up later when the wind drops and the surface cools off, even if it starts fast. The ground holds firm early on, letting batters go with strong drives before things shift. As it happens, no overnight damp means opening the bat at dawn could give big totals. That said, in past matches during this time of year, chasing proved tougher than expected despite good starts. The pace stays sharp until midday, so it then slows under pressure – batters may feel more secure but not necessarily safer. What ends up happening depends less on toss than on how well teams read the changes over time.
