The Royal Challengers Bengaluru will take on the Sunrisers Hyderabad in match 65 of the 2025 Indian Premier League at the Ekana Cricket Stadium on Friday. RCB are second in the league standings, while SRH are eighth. Let’s get into the match prediction.
The Royal Challengers Bengaluru are all but guaranteed a spot in the Playoffs, now on 17 points after 12 games, and one more win should secure a top-two finish.
RCB’s last match was washed out against the Kolkata Knight Riders, but it still extended their unbeaten run to five matches - the longest active streak without defeat in the IPL.
Virat Kohli has been the standout performer for the Royal Challengers, currently on 505 runs in 11 innings, while Josh Hazlewood has 18 wickets and is third in the Purple Cap standings.
Meanwhile, the Sunrisers Hyderabad are on nine points and out of Playoff contention. However, they did win their last match, beating LSG by six wickets on Monday afternoon.
SRH’s biggest downfall this season has been a lack of firepower with the bat, as none of their batsman currently feature in the top 10 leading run-scorers in the competition.
These sides have faced off 25 times in IPL matches, and RCB have won 13 games to SRH’s 11 (1 NC), including two of their last three encounters.

Our Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Prediction
The Royal Challengers Bengaluru are in great shape this season, and all indicators suggest that they are en route to a deep run in the competition, having only lost three of their 11 completed games to date.
SRH, on the other hand, are playing out their remaining matches as a mere formality, and while they did notch up an impressive victory over LSG on Monday, we feel they will struggle to do the same against an in-form RCB. Our Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Sunrisers Hyderabad prediction is Royal Challengers Bengaluru wins the match.
