SRH vs RR Dream11 Prediction Match 2 – IPL 2025: The second match of IPL 2025 will be between two teams that performed well in 2024 and are eager to start this season on a high note.

Sunrisers Hyderabad had an outstanding 2024 campaign, making it to the final but falling short against Kolkata Knight Riders. Their batting lineup regularly posted massive scores, crossing the 250-run mark multiple times. With their core squad unchanged, SRH will be aiming to go one step further this time under captain Pat Cummins and secure their second IPL title.

Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, have been consistent contenders for three years (2022-2024) but have been unable to win the championship. They looked dominant in the first half of IPL 2024 but lost momentum towards the end, finishing third and exiting in Qualifier 2. Led by Sanju Samson, they have retained their key batting core while adding fresh faces. Considered underdogs this season, the Royals will aim to reach the playoffs again.

Pitch Report – Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium

The Hyderabad pitch is known for being batting-friendly, especially in T20 matches. Last season, multiple high-scoring games were played here. While pace bowlers may get some movement early on, batting becomes easier as the innings progresses. Spinners might find some assistance later in the match, but big scores are expected due to the pitch’s true bounce.

SRH vs RR Weather Report

Hyderabad will experience hot weather on match day, with temperatures ranging from 35-38°C. There is a slight chance of clouds and minimal risk of rain. Winds will be moderate, and humidity levels will be low.

SRH vs RR Dream11 Prediction: 3 Players to Watch

1. Abhishek Sharma (Sunrisers Hyderabad): The young all-rounder has become one of the most aggressive batters in India. He played a crucial role in SRH’s powerful batting displays last season and is also a useful part-time bowler.
2. Yashasvi Jaiswal (Rajasthan Royals): A talented batter who has represented India in all formats, Jaiswal was the highest Test run-scorer in 2024 but missed selection for the Champions Trophy. He will be eager to prove himself in IPL 2025.
3. Mohammed Shami (Sunrisers Hyderabad): The veteran pacer missed IPL 2024 due to injury but was exceptional in the two seasons before that. Now playing for SRH, he will aim to regain his best form.

Match Prediction: Who Will Win?

Sunrisers Hyderabad are likely to win this match against Rajasthan Royals.
