RCB vs SRH Head-to-head stats and records you need to know before Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Sunrisers Hyderabad IPL 2025 match

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will take on Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in match number 65 of IPL 2025 at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Friday, May 23. The match was supposed to be played at the M Chinnaswamy in Bengaluru, but had to be shifted to Lucknow due to inclement weather in Bengaluru.

RCB have already qualified for the IPL 2025 playoffs, with 17 points from 12 matches. However, they would be keen to clinch a berth in the top two and there is still some work needed to do for that. Bengaluru's previous match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on May 17 was abandoned due to rain. Before that, Bengaluru were on a four-match winning streak.

RCB's batters have been in great form. Seasoned batter Virat Kohli has led the way with 505 runs from 11 innings, while the others have chipped in. Both Phil Salt and skipper Rajat Patidar have recovered from their respective injuries. However, Bengaluru's cricketers haven't played a match since May 3. It remains to be seen whether the long gap affects the momentum of the side.
