Sunrisers eyeing a spot among the top two

The Sunrisers Hyderabad face a crucial test in Match 67 of the Tata IPL 2026 as they take on arch‑rivals Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. RCB, already assured of a top‑two finish, enters the contest as table toppers, brimming with confidence after a dominant campaign.

For SRH, however, this clash carries immense significance. A win here would keep their hopes of finishing in the top two alive, giving them the advantage of two shots at reaching the final. Their recent form has been impressive, with a balanced unit of aggressive batters and disciplined bowlers, but they must overcome the psychological hurdle of having lost to RCB earlier in the season.

RCB, led by their in‑form batting lineup and a potent bowling attack, will look to replicate their earlier success against SRH and consolidate momentum heading into the playoffs. For the Sunrisers, this is about resilience and seizing the opportunity to prove they belong among the elite. With high stakes and fierce rivalry, this encounter promises fireworks and could shape the playoff dynamics dramatically.

Royal Challengers will eye a double over Sunrisers

The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will look to complete a season double over the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) when the two sides meet in Match 67 of the Tata IPL 2026. Both teams have shown strong form recently, winning three of their last five fixtures while enduring two defeats each.

Head‑to‑head, RCB hold a slight advantage, having won three of the last five meetings, while SRH have claimed two victories. Earlier this season, RCB got the better of the Sunrisers and will be eager to replicate that success. Their consistency has already secured them a top‑two finish, giving them the luxury of two chances to reach the final.

SRH, meanwhile, remain in contention for a top‑two spot themselves, but they must overcome the challenge of RCB’s in‑form batting and disciplined bowling attack. With both teams playing exceptional cricket this season, their positions on the points table reflect their dominance.

For RCB, this clash is about momentum and asserting superiority, while for SRH, it’s about resilience and keeping their hopes alive. Fans can expect a high‑intensity contest with playoff implications. Let’s move ahead and check the cricket tips.

Team Analysis: Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Sunrisers Hyderabad

How will the two teams, i.e., the Royal Challengers Bengaluru and the Sunrisers Hyderabad, fare in the 67th match of IPL 2026? Let’s take a look.

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)

  • Despite Travis Head’s poor form, Pat Cummins will continue with his Aussie mate at the top.
  • The only toss-up in the batting order could take place between Smaran Ravichandran and Aniket Verma.
  • No other changes are expected in the eleven from the last game.

Expected Starting 11:

Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Ishan Kishan, Heinrich Klaasen, Salil Arora (WK), Aniket Verma/Smaran Ravichandran, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Pat Cummins (C), Shivang Kumar, Praful Hinge, Eshan Malinga IMPACT SUB: Sakib Hussain

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB)

  • The Royal Challengers Bengaluru have a massive call to make, with the skipper, Rajat Patidar, set to return to the eleven after missing the last game due to a niggle.
  • With Rajat back, unfortunately, despite scoring a brilliant half-century in the last game, Venkatesh Iyer will have to make way.
  • Jacob Bethell has also been a disappointment so far this season. Salt is expected to return by the end of this week. Expect him to take his place in the eleven.
  • If Salt plays, keeper Jitesh Sharma could be rested, and Venkatesh can keep his place. In Jitesh’s absence, Salt can take the wicket-keeping gloves.
  • Suyash Sharma’s form has been concerning. With other options like left-arm chinaman Satvik Deswal available, RCB should look forward to giving him a chance, considering SRH has three lefties at the top.

Expected Starting 11:

Jacob Bethell/Phil Salt, Virat Kohli, Devdutt Padikkal, Rajat Patidar (C), Jitesh Sharma/Venkatesh Iyer, Tim David, Romario Shepherd, Krunal Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Rasikh Salam Dar, Josh Hazlewood IMPACT SUB: Satvik Deswal/Suyash Sharma
