Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Royals Dream11 IPL 2025 Match 2 Prediction
Dream11 Prediction for IPL SRH vs RR
Match 2 of the Indian Premier League 2025 brings together two teams who had successful campaigns in 2024 and would love to start this season on a winning note.
In 2024, Sunrisers Hyderabad had a spectacular run to the finals only to lose to the Kolkata Knight Riders. They also retain their strong core heading into IPL 2025, which scored 250 runs or more consistently last season. Pat Cummins will lead the Sunrisers in their quest to continue their momentum toward their second IPL title.
Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, had one of their best three-year phases from 2022 to 2024 yet they never managed to hold the trophy. They were the league’s best team going into the second half of the previous season but faltered, ultimately finishing third in the standings and losing in Qualifier 2. They are led this season by Sanju Samson and pack an inexperienced batting lineup meaning they want to breathe new life into their way of playing. So far labeled as one of this seasons underdog teams, it appears the Royals are hoping to find their way back into the postseason.
Match Details
Date: Sunday, March 23, 2025
Time: 03:30 PM (IST)
Venue: Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, Hyderabad
Cricket fever is back, and IPL 2025 is already catching fire! In the second encounter of the season, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) face off against Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the historic Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. There is plenty of motivation on both sides too as both teams will be looking to make a statement in their opening match. Let’s dive into the action!
Sunrisers Hyderabad
SRH had come agonizingly close to lifting the trophy last year, losing to the Kolkata Knight Riders in the final. But the Orange Army under the calm and composed leadership of Pat Cummins looks stronger than ever. Last season, everyone was talking about their explosive batting lineup, which crossed the 250-run mark multiple times, an achievement few teams can lay claim to. Emboldened and out for redemption despite having key performers such as Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma retained in red-hot form, the Sunrisers are prepared.
Rajasthan Royals
Over the last few seasons of the IPL, the Royals have been an extremely consistent side, always flirting with the top few spots but never quite crossing the finish line. They exited in Qualifier 2 in 2024, disappointing fans and leaving many to wonder what might have been. Yashasvi Jaiswal and hard-hittingShimron Hetmyer are among the rising stars in a young, fearless squad skippers his side. They will hope to rewrite history this year and take home the coveted trophy back to Jaipur.
