Ishant Sharma, Amit Mishra and Karan Sharma claimed two wickets each while Dale Steyn chipped in with a wicket of Gurkeerat Singh.
Skipper Adam Gilchrist remained the top scorer for Punjab making 26 off 25 balls.
Ishant Sharma gave Hyderabad first breakthrough by sending back Punjab's Mandeep Singh in the third over after visitors opted to bat.
Mandeep (10) was caught behind at the score of 15.
Karan Sharma struck in the ninth over to get rid of Punjab skipper Adam Gilchrist and Paul Valthaty, leaving the visitors three down even before they crossed 50 mark, in the IPL clash.
While Valthaty (6) was caught by Perera, Gilchrist gave a simple catch to Ishant Sharma after scoring 26 off 25 balls.
Cameron White is leading Hyderabad in the absence of Kumar Sangakkara.
Piyush Chawla and David Hussey then tried to rescue the side. However, the dismissal of Chawla (23 off 15 balls) in the 15th over triggered Punjab's collapse.
Kings XI Punjab brought in Mascarenhas and Paul Valthaty while Akshath Reddy replaced Parthiv Patel in Hyderabad squad.
SRH will look to maintain their all-win record at the venue before they head into a week's break.
Out of the four games so far, Gilchrist & Co have won two and lost two. But the worrying factor is that neither their wins were comprehensive nor the losses narrow. KXIP have a lot of loose ends to tie up in this tournament.
Sunrisers Hyderabad: Cameron White (C), Thisara Perera, Quinton de Kock, Hanuma Vihari, A Ashish Reddy, KV Sharma, BB Samantray, Amit Mishra, Dale Steyn, Ishant Sharma, PA Reddy
Kings XI Punjab: Adam Gilchrist(c), Mandeep Singh, Paul Valthaty, David Hussey, Azhar Mahmood, Manan Vohra, Gurkeerat Singh, Piyush Chawla, Praveen Kumar, Manpreet Gony, AD Mascarenhas
