Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will host Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Match 67 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 on Friday. Although both sides have already secured qualification for the playoffs, there is a big prize on the line: a top-two finish, which provides a safety net in the knockouts.
RCB are flying at the moment, sitting at the top of the IPL 2026 points table with three back-to-back wins to their name. The defending champions have the best net run rate in the league, and anything short of a massive win for SRH will guarantee them a place in the top two.
For SRH, tonight’s match is a chance to complete a brilliant turnaround of their season. The Sunrisers made a less-than-convincing start to their campaign, but have roared back in style under Pat Cummins, trailing the league leaders by just two points. Only a win against RCB will guarantee SRH a place in the top two.
