SRH vs RR Eliminator IPL 2026: Preview, Head-to-Head Record As Hyderabad Look To Enter Their Fourth Finals

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) take on Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the IPL 2026 Eliminator at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur on Wednesday, May 27.

SRH, the 2016 champions, secured a third-place finish in the league standings with nine wins and five losses from 14 games. Although they shared the same record as the Gujarat Titans and Royal Challengers Bengaluru, a comparatively lower net run rate of +0.524 pushed them into the Eliminator.

Rajasthan Royals booked their playoff spot after a crucial win over Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium, ending the league phase with eight victories in 14 matches. Notably, SRH have had the upper hand in their head-to-head meetings this season, winning both encounters against RR.
