The Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bengaluru match moved to Lucknow due to continuous rain in Bengaluru.

After their no-result match against KKR (in which points were shared), RCB became the first team to qualify for the playoffs this season. Now, they prepare to face SRH, aiming to secure the top spot in the points table.

This marks their first clash this season. However, SRH won their last match and will play fearlessly, having already exited the tournament. Check our expert RCB vs SRH prediction before betting on top cricket betting sites for deeper insights.

RCB vs SRH Team Preview

Royal Challengers Bengaluru

Royal Challengers Bengaluru currently hold second place on the points table and aim to claim the top spot. Their last match against KKR was washed out, but the point secured their playoff berth. For the upcoming match, RCB has made key replacements: Padikkal out, Mayank Agarwal in; Ngidi out, Blessing Muzarabani in.

Bethell’s unavailability raises concerns; if he plays, it will boost RCB’s chances. The batting heavily relies on in-form Virat Kohli, supported by power hitters who excel in death overs. The bowling unit also looks strong, as Lucknow’s slow pitch favors spinners like Krunal and Suyash, who can exploit these conditions to dominate opponents.

Despite recent changes, RCB remains a balanced squad. Another advantage: they are unbeaten in away matches this season—great news for fans!

Sunrisers Hyderabad

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are already out of the playoffs, so they face no pressure. However, their 6-wicket win against LSG in the last game boosted their confidence. SRH should stick with the same playing XI to end the season on a high note. Although Travis Head missed the last match, Abhishek Sharma’s explosive start filled the gap perfectly; they’ll need the same firepower against RCB.

SRH’s bowling has struggled all season, and their last game was no exception. The biggest letdown has been Mohammed Shami, who failed to lead the pace attack as expected. Pat Cummins bowled brilliantly but lacked support from other pacers. Their inexperienced spin attack has also cost them multiple matches.

The upcoming match will likely be played on a slow track. Since RCB has better spinners, they enter as favourites.
