IPL 2025 RCB vs SRH Match Prediction: Who will win today's match? RCB thrive to move to the table top in new venue
IPL 2025 RCB vs SRH Match Prediction: The Royal Challengers Bangalore have already qualified for the playoffs of the IPL 2025, but they need to secure one of the top two positions to maximise their chances of featuring in the IPL 2025 final. RCB have already gathered 17 points in 12 games, and the next two games still remain vital for the Red Devils of the IPL.
The likes of Titans, Punjab Kings and even the Mumbai Indians can surpass the Royal Challengers, hence citing the importance of their next two games; their home game at the Chinnaswamy has been moved out to Ekana as rain started to play a role in interrupting matches at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore. The Sunrisers, on the other hand, have played a major spoilsport for teams, as they knocked out the Lucknow Super Giants, winning their previous fixture against the opposition.

IPL 2025 RCB vs SRH Match Prediction: Pitch Report
The pitch report for the Ekana Stadium cannot be predicted until before the match, when we get a proper view of the track. However, citing the use of both red soil and black soil at this venue, the South Paws might favour bringing in a bunch of quality spinners who can counter the ability of the batters from both teams. The SRH and RCB batters have been phenomenal against pace, and spin has been the exposed weakness. For RCB, Krunal Pandya has been their most standout spinner, and given the ground conditions and his former familiarity with the Ekana pitch, he will be monumental in his team's success.
