Jaipur, April 25: The 36th match of IPL 2026 will see Rajasthan Royals (RR) face off against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur at 7:30 PM. This marks RR’s first home game of the season.
Under the captaincy of Riyan Parag, RR has shown impressive form this season. The team appears well-balanced, boasting 5 wins and 2 losses from 7 matches, placing them third in the standings with 10 points. A victory at home against SRH will not only strengthen their position but also help them avenge their earlier defeat to SRH, where they lost by 57 runs in Hyderabad.
In their last match, RR bounced back from two consecutive losses by defeating Lucknow Super Giants by 40 runs at their home ground.
On the other hand, SRH has performed effectively under the leadership of Ishan Kishan. They have secured 4 wins out of 7 matches, earning 8 points and holding the fourth position. SRH comes into this match with a three-game winning streak, having recently defeated Delhi Capitals by 47 runs. SRH will aim to maintain their winning momentum against RR. The return of Pat Cummins to the playing XI is almost certain, and it remains to be seen if he will return as captain or as a player. His presence will bolster SRH’s lineup.
The match is expected to see temperatures around 32 degrees Celsius, with no threat of rain. Dew will play a role in the second innings. The pitch at Sawai Mansingh Stadium is known to be favorable for both batsmen and bowlers, having hosted several high-scoring matches during IPL 2025. Sunday’s match could also turn out to be a high-scoring affair, with the team winning the toss likely opting to bowl first.
In the history of IPL, both teams have faced each other 22 times, with SRH winning 13 matches and RR winning 9.
