RCB vs SRH Match Prediction 2025: Both Team’s Recent Form

The recent form of RCB is very strong. But Hyderabad also won their last match on this same pitch. The confidence of both teams is high. The last match of Royal Challengers Bengaluru was cancelled due to rain. That is why this match is now being played in Lucknow as there is less chance of rain there. 

RCB won their last complete match against Chennai Super Kings by just 2 runs. Sunrise Hyderabad played their last match on this same ground against Lucknow Super Giants. They won that match by 6 wickets. Ishan Malinga took 2 wickets. Abhishek Sharma and Heinrich Klaasen scored 40+ runs and chased the target easily.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Team Previews

Royal Challengers Bengaluru

RCB has shown its best season in IPL 2025. Under the leadership of Rajat Patidar, they have given consistent performances. Their last match with KKR was canceled due to rain but before that they had won 5 consecutive matches. Kohli, Patidar and Green are in form in batting, and the bowling unit also looks quite balanced. Having already made a place in the playoffs, now their focus is on securing the top 2 spots.

Sunrisers Hyderabad

IPL 2025 has been a nightmare for Sunrisers Hyderabad. The team combination was never set and their form was also inconsistent. Abhishek Sharma and Klaasen kept fighting a bit but the rest of the batting line-up was a flop. He could not make any impact in bowling as well. They did win the last match against LSG but the team is already out of the playoff race. Now their aim will be to end the season with a win.

RCB vs SRH, BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow Pitch Report and Weather Report

The Ekana Cricket Stadium pitch is a little unpredictable. Sometimes spinners make the game, sometimes fast bowlers shine. High scoring matches are rare. The average score of the team batting first is around 170. But the chasing teams have won more. Once India took 20 overs to chase 100 runs, so slow was the pitch. Rohit Sharma did score a century once, but that was rare. In most matches it is the bowlers who benefit, especially the spinners. So whichever team understands the pitch well has strong chances.
