SRH vs RR Win Probability
Sunrisers Hyderabad have scored 200-plus runs three times this season but have managed to win just once — that single stat tells you everything about their IPL 2026 campaign so far. Their bowling has leaked runs at over 8 runs per over and they have picked up only 50% of available wickets in 4 games, which is a serious concern heading into this fixture. Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, are one of only two unbeaten teams in IPL 2026 with 4 wins from 4 games and 8 points at the top of the table. Their top three — Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Dhruv Jurel — have combined for 559 runs at a strike rate of 196 this season, hitting 54 fours and 36 sixes between them. However, RR carry one unwanted record into this game — they have lost all 4 of their last meetings against SRH, including a 44-run hammering last season when SRH posted 286. That head-to-head record makes this SRH vs RR today match prediction far more interesting than the points table suggests.

SRH completely dominate this head-to-head record, winning 4 of the last 5 meetings against Rajasthan Royals. Their most recent clash in March 2025 saw SRH post a massive 286/6, with Ishan Kishan smashing an unbeaten 106 off 47 balls. In reply, Sanju Samson’s 66 and Dhruv Jurel’s 70 were simply not enough as RR fell short by 44 runs. This recent history gives SRH genuine confidence despite their poor form this season.

SRH vs RR Today Match Prediction Scenarios
Scenario 1: If SRH bat first
- Powerplay Score: 60–80
- Predicted Total: 200–225
- Match Result: SRH have a strong chance of winning — their batting is explosive enough to post a defendable total and their head-to-head record gives them confidence at home
Scenario 2: If RR bat first
- Powerplay Score: 65–85
- Predicted Total: 210–235
- Match Result: Rajasthan Royals to win — their top three are in devastating form and Ravi Bishnoi can defend any total with 9 wickets already this season
Who Will Win?
Rajasthan Royals are the clear favourites on current form. Their top three — Suryavanshi, Jaiswal, and Jurel — have combined for 559 runs at a strike rate of 196 this season, making them the most dangerous batting unit in IPL 2026 right now. Add Ravi Bishnoi’s 9 wickets to the mix and RR look strong in all departments.
Sunrisers Hyderabad are not without hope though. They have crossed 200 three times this season and their head-to-head record against RR — 4 wins in the last 5 meetings — cannot be ignored. If Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head fire in the powerplay and SRH post 210-plus, their home conditions and historical advantage could make this very competitive.
The concern for SRH remains their bowling. Conceding at over 8 runs per over and picking up just 50% of available wickets across 4 games, stopping RR’s top three will be their biggest challenge of the season.
Prediction: Rajasthan Royals to win.
