SRH vs RR IPL 2026 at New Chandigarh: Match Preview
Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad will lock horns at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur on Wednesday evening to stay afloat in IPL 2026.
RR started their season with four wins on the trot, and then the wheels came loose. The slide began with a defeat against SRH and continued until RR found themselves needing back-to-back wins just to scrape into the playoffs.
SRH, by contrast, have been the more consistent side across the season. They have won both their encounters against RR this season: by 57 runs in Hyderabad, where they defended 216 comfortably, and by five wickets in Jaipur, where they chased down 229 with nine balls remaining.
Their current winning streak against RR stands at six matches, and a win on Wednesday would make it the longest such run any IPL side has put together against a single opponent.

Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, New Chandigarh: Pitch Report
The pitch at the Mullanpur Stadium is well-balanced, providing pacers with early movement and bounce in the powerplay, but it gets better for batting as the match progresses. It assists spinners in the middle overs.
The average first innings score is around 170-180, while 185+ is competitive. Dew can help the chasing side in the night games, though the total remains defendable.
