The Royal Challengers Bengaluru will meet Sunrisers Hyderabad in Match 65 of the Indian Premier League on May 23 at 7:30 pm.
Despite today’s match being RCB’s home game, it will take place at Lucknow’s Ekana Cricket Stadium following more than a week of intense rain in Bengaluru.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) shifted the venue for today’s game from the M Chinnaswamy stadium to Lucknow earlier this week.
RCB is chasing a top-two spot in the IPL 2025 standings and are sitting pretty in second with 17 points from 12 games, just one off table topper Gujarat Titans who have played a game more.
Meanwhile, SRH have only pride to play for as they have long been out of contention for a spot in the IPL 2025 playoffs.
The two teams have met each other 24 times in the history of the IPL and it is the Hyderabad side that have the upper hand.
