Aiming to finish in the top two of the points table, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will face Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in a high-stakes Indian Premier League clash on Friday in Lucknow.
Already eliminated, Sunrisers Hyderabad are pushing to finish at the middle of the IPL 2025 points table. They will be arriving in Lucknow after beating Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by 6 wickets in a high-scoring run chase. Currently sitting at eighth with just 9 points, SRH have nothing to lose, but they can surely spoil RCB’s top two chances.
Meanwhile, already qualified for the playoff, Royal Challengers Bengaluru will be heading into this match on the back of a four-match unbeaten streak. Their last match against KKR resulted in a washout, and unfortunately RCB had to share their points. With 17 points from 12 matches, RCB are eyeing to finish in the top two of the IPL 2025 points table.
