SRH Vs RR Match Prediction: The 19th edition of the Indian Premier League, the world’s most popular franchise cricket league, will be held in 2026. IPL 2026 will feature 10 teams competing for the world’s most prestigious franchise cricket competition trophy.
The Sunrisers Hyderabad also have a massive loyal fanbase. The 2016 IPL champions have evolved from being one of the best bowling sides in the league to now being arguably the most devastating batting unit. This team revolutionised T20 cricket into the high-scoring bonanza we know it as today. Despite that, they failed to make it to the playoffs last season, finishing sixth.
The Sunrisers started their IPL 2026 on the wrong foot, losing to the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their opening game. They then defeated the Kolkata Knight Riders in their second game, before losing a last-ball thriller against the Lucknow Super Giants in their third. Their most recent game ended in a loss to the Punjab Kings. More recently, they defeated the then-unbeaten Rajasthan Royals. They would make it three wins in a row, defeating the Chennai Super Kings and the Delhi Capitals.
They beat the Rajasthan Royals again in a high-scoring game before making it five wins in a row with a massive victory over the Mumbai Indians. A defeat against the Kolkata Knight Riders and a win against the Punjab Kings followed. Then came a massive defeat to the Gujarat Titans, before defeating the Chennai Super Kings. Their last league game saw them thrash league leaders Royal Challengers Bengaluru. With nine wins, five losses, 18 points, and a positive net run rate in 14 games, Hyderabad has finished third on the points table.
Meanwhile, the Rajasthan Royals were the inaugural IPL champions, winning the league all the way back in 2008. However, they have failed to win it while not being one of the more successful teams in the league. They last reached the final in 2022, for the first time since their title win. Now under a young captain after letting go of Sanju Samson, this young squad is looking to relive their past glory and win it all again.
The Royals have gotten off to a flying start to this season. In their opening game, they thrashed the Chennai Super Kings, before beating the Gujarat Titans in their second in a thriller. In their third game agaisnt the Mumbai Indians, which was shortened due to rain, RR dominated MI. They then made it four-in-four with a fine win over the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. They then lost their first game of the season, being defeated by the Sunrisers Hyderabad. This was followed by their second defeat in a row, to the Kolkata Knight Riders. They then beat the Lucknow Super Giants in a low-scoring game.
Then came a second defeat to the Sunrisers Hyderabad this season, before Rajasthan became the first team this season to beat the Punjab Kings, before immediately losing to the Delhi Capitals, and being defeated by the Gujarat Titans. Another loss came against the Delhi Capitals. Then came a victory over the Lucknow Super Giants.
They confirmed their place in the playoffs with a victory over the Mumbai Indians. With eight wins, six losses, 16 points, and a positive net run rate in 14 games, RR had finished fourth on the points table.

SRH Vs RR Eliminator IPL 2026 PCA New Cricket Stadium Pitch Report
From what we have seen on this stadium so far, the tracks in this ground, especially under the lights, seem to be a little slow, with something here for the spinners and wily pacers. The batters might struggle here, especially in the second inning, if the dew doesn’t fall. However, with the game being under lights, the cracks in the pitch will appear at a lesser frequency, allowing batters to combat spin and score some runs. With this being an evening match, the pitch might crack a little more. One of the newest international stadiums in India, it is quite a big one. The straight boundaries are usually over 70m in length, while the square ones are about 65m away from the batter.

The weather report for matchday in New Chandigarh predicts a warm evening on matchday. The temperatures will be in the mid-to-high 20s. While the skies will be partly cloudy, the chances of rain are zero. The winds will be moderate, while the humidity will be low.
