Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bangalore will be locking horns against one another after more than 12 months tomorrow. Having faced each other twice in Indian Premier League 2022, the 65th match of the ongoing 16th season of the IPL will be their solitary clash of the season.

RCB had registered a clinical 67-run victory in their last encounter against SRH at the Wankhede Stadium. Captain Faf du Plessis‘ half-century and all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga‘s five-wicket haul had played leading roles in a win back then.
Hyderabad, however, have maintained a 12-9 lead in SRH vs RCB Head to Head Record in IPL History. Although Bangalore has the upper hand in the month of May and on Thursday, the home team has won six and lost just one match against this opposition at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.
Playing at this venue after a four-year gap, Royal Challengers would be looking to register a much-needed victory here for the first time since 2015. In what was a rain-affected match, their last victory at this venue had come by chasing an 81-run target in 5.5 overs.
Out of their 50 home matches, Hyderabad have won 30 and lost 19 to bat at an average run rate of 8.08 at this stadium. Bangalore, on the other hand, have won two and lost seven out of their 10 matches here. The visitors’ average run rate here is 7.67.
