Rcb win

Srh win

Resolution Criteria

The match will be played on March 28, 2026 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. The market resolves YES if RCB wins, NO if SRH wins. The match will be telecast live on Star Sports Network and streamed on Jio Hotstar.

Background

RCB enter the contest as the defending champions, having clinched the 2025 title with a victory over Punjab Kings in the final. SRH holds the lead in head-to-head record with 13 wins out of 26 matches, while RCB has won 11 matches. Recent RCB-SRH games have been high-scoring affairs, including a 287 vs 262 game in 2024. The M Chinnaswamy Stadium is known for short boundaries and is considered a batter's haven.

Considerations

RCB will be without Josh Hazlewood, their star seamer from IPL 2025. SRH head into the clash with a slightly weakened bowling attack due to the absence of Pat Cummins. The Chinnaswamy pitch has not hosted cricket in close to ten months, which may affect how the surface behaves.
