IPL 2026, SRH vs RCB: Match Winning Probability, Head-To-Head Record

Defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will take on Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) today, May 22, in an Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 match at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.

Both teams will be aiming for a top-two finish. RCB currently sit at the top of the points table with 18 points, level with the Gujarat Titans, but they possess the best net run rate among all 10 teams at +1.065. A victory today would guarantee them a first-place finish and provide two opportunities to reach the final.

Meanwhile, SRH are placed third with 16 points. To secure a top-two finish, they need not only a win but also a convincing margin of victory.

RCB carry strong momentum into the contest, with both their batting and bowling units performing consistently throughout the season. In particular, the pace duo of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood has been in excellent form. RCB also defeated SRH earlier this season and have been one of the most consistent sides in the tournament.

On the other hand, SRH will be buoyed by their recent win over the Chennai Super Kings and will enjoy home advantage. However, their batting lineup has been inconsistent at times, which remains a concern heading into this crucial encounter.

With the match being played in Hyderabad, a venue known for producing high-scoring games, fans can expect another entertaining batting contest.

Based on their recent performances, Royal Challengers Bengaluru enter today’s match as slight favourites against Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: 55%

Sunrisers Hyderabad: 45%

SRH hold a slight edge in the head-to-head record between the two teams, having won 14 matches. RCB have registered 12 victories, while one match ended without a result.
