SRH vs RCB IPL 2026: It will be a battle to secure a berth in Qualifier 1 of the IPL 2026 season when hosts Sunrisers Hyderabad face off against table-toppers Royal Challengers Bengaluru in match no. 67 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Friday. Defending champions RCB and SRH have already booked their berths in the Playoffs along side Gujarat Titans earlier this week.
Rajat Patidar’s RCB appear in pole position to top the Points Table and secure their place in the Qualifier 1 and GT have now risen to second place with a 89-run win over Chennai Super Kings on Thursday night. But Sunrisers Hyderabad – who are currently in third place – can rise to second place if they can post a big-enough win over RCB on Friday night.

If SRH beat RCB on Friday, then all the top three sides will be on 18 points each and it will come down to their net run-rates to decide who will finish in the top two position. Pat Cummins-led side have been on a roller-coaster ride in the last five matches – following up a win with a loss immediately.
RCB, on the other hand, are on a three-match winning streak. They will be looking to sign off from the league stages with their 10th win of the season from 14 matches.
RCB opener Virat Kohli will also be eyeing a big record of Chris Gayle on Friday. Kohli is in 6th place in the Orange Cap table with 542 runs in 13 matches and needs only 58 runs to go past 600 runs for the season for most consecutive years.
Gayle had achieved this feat from 2011 to 2013 while former Australia opener David Warner had done it in 2016, 2017 and 2019 (he was unavailable in 2018). Delhi Capitals opener KL Rahul had achieved this in 2023 to 2025. Kohli has scored 600 runs from 2023 to 2025 and will be aiming to do it for the fourth successive season.
SRH hold a slight edge when it comes to head-to-head contests against RCB with 14 wins as compared to 12 losses. At home in Hyderabad, the Sunrisers have managed to win 6 matches against RCB and lost only 3.
