SRH vs RR Dream11 Prediction | SRH vs RR Live Score IPL 2025 | (23/03/2025)

Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals will clash in the second match of IPL 2025 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on March 23, at 03:30 PM. SRH, last season’s runners-up, will aim to start strong at home. Their solid squad, featuring Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, and Nitish Kumar Reddy, makes them a strong title contender.

Rajasthan Royals enter as underdogs after releasing key players like Jos Buttler, Trent Boult, R Ashwin, and Yuzvendra Chahal. They will look for redemption after losing to Hyderabad in Qualifier 2 last season.

The Hyderabad pitch favors batters, setting the stage for a high-scoring contest. Sunrisers have dominated Rajasthan in recent games, winning the last three matches.

SRH vs RR Dream11 Prediction

SRH, the 2016 champions dominated with the bat last season, crossing 250 runs in three matches, including 287 against Bengaluru and 277 against Mumbai.

Led by Pat Cummins, Hyderabad finished second in the league with eight wins in 14 games and defeated Rajasthan in Qualifier 2 before losing to Kolkata in the final. Rajasthan, known for strong starts, won eight of their first nine games last season but stumbled late, forcing them into the Eliminator. They beat Bengaluru but fell to Hyderabad in Qualifier 2.

Sanju Samson will play but cannot keep wickets due to a finger injury. Riyan Parag will lead RR for the first three matches. Rajasthan will also miss Jos Buttler, now with Gujarat, but Nitish Rana strengthens their middle order. Jofra Archer, Hasaranga, and Theekshana could form a strong overseas bowling trio.

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Royals – Betting Tips

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Royals – Coin Toss

The team winning the toss is likely to bat first on this high-scoring surface. Early in the game, batters can dominate, making it ideal for posting a big total. Bowlers are expected to get more assistance in the second innings as the pitch slows down and offers turn.

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Royals – Who Will Win?

Sunrisers Hyderabad enter the contest as favorites with a balanced squad and a strong new-ball attack. Their batting lineup is explosive, making them a tough challenge at home. Rajasthan Royals, dealing with injury concerns, rely heavily on their batters but lack depth in bowling. They need a standout bowling performance to compete. While Rajasthan can put up a fight, SRH’s all-round strength gives them the edge in this match. 

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Royals – Top Batter

Travis Head is expected to be Sunrisers Hyderabad’s key batter after a magnificent IPL 2024, where he smashed 567 runs in 15 innings at a 191.55 strike rate. His aggressive approach in the powerplay can set the tone for Hyderabad.

For Rajasthan Royals, Yashasvi Jaiswal remains a crucial player. He was among their top scorers last season and consistently delivers at a high strike rate. Riyan Parag, leading in Sanju Samson’s absence, will also be vital. His impressive IPL 2024 campaign earned him an India debut, and he will aim to anchor Rajasthan’s innings with a responsible knock.

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Royals – Top Bowler

Mohammed Shami, now with SRH, will aim to make an impact after missing IPL 2024 due to injury. The 34-year-old, who won the Purple Cap in 2023, showed his form in the 2025 Champions Trophy by taking nine wickets in five matches. His ability to strike early with the new ball remains a key asset.

For Rajasthan Royals, Sandeep Sharma might play a crucial role with his economical bowling. He maintained an impressive 8.2 economy rate last season despite high-scoring games, conceding just 6.7 runs per over in the middle overs. His control could be vital once again.

SRH vs RR Dream11 Prediction Batting First Team Scores

Hyderabad was among the highest-scoring venues in IPL 2024, with a run rate of 10.5 and seven 200-plus totals. Sunrisers even smashed 277 in one game. The pitch is expected to be a batting paradise, offering little for bowlers. A high-scoring contest is likely, with teams targeting totals beyond 230 in ideal batting conditions.
