Predicted Lineups
SRH likely XI will be built around Travis Head’s explosive starts and Pat Cummins’ leadership with the ball, backed by Harsh Dubey in the middle overs.
RCB will lean on their settled batting order and Rasikh Salam Dar to continue his excellent wicket-taking run alongside the senior pacers.
Our Prediction
Home conditions, balanced squad depth, and recent head-to-head form (3 wins in last 5 meetings) give SRH a slight edge — but don’t count out an RCB side that has been the most consistent team in IPL 2026. Expect a tight finish.
