Match Prediction

  • RR’s Strengths: Powerful top order featuring Jaiswal and Samson, and a well-balanced bowling unit with Hasaranga and Archer.

Prediction: Sunrisers Hyderabad to Win

SRH has a psychological edge over RR, having won their last three meetings, including the IPL 2024 playoffs. Playing at home further boosts their chances, with their powerful top order and disciplined bowling attack likely to outclass RR. However, if RR’s top order clicks, they could pose a serious challenge.

Expected Result: SRH to win by a narrow margin, potentially within 10-15 runs or 4-5 wickets.
