Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will be up against the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the 65th match of IPL 2025. This article provides details about the SRH Playing 11 vs RCB for match 65 of IPL 2025.
SRH Playing 11 vs RCB- IPL 2025, Match 65:
Openers: Abhishek Sharma, Atharva Taide
Sunrisers Hyderabad are expected to stick with the opening duo of Abhishek Sharma and Atharva Taidae due to the cloud over Travis Head's availability for the upcoming game against RCB on Friday.
Although Atharv wasn't able to make the most of the opportunity he got in the last match, he is predicted to get another go at the same venue where Sunrisers Hyderabad played their last game.
Abhishek, on the other hand, is coming on the back of a match-winning and attacking half-century against the Super Giants and will hope to replicate the same when he comes out to bat in the next match.
The young pair will look to give the team a strong start against an in-form RCB bowling lineup, which includes the likes of Hazlewood and Yash Dayal.
Middle-Order Batters and All-Rounders: Ishan Kishan (wk), Kamindu Mendis, Heinrich Klaasen, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Aniket Verma
Sunrisers Hyderabad would be elated by the performance of wicketkeeper batter Ishan Kishan, who played his natural game against LSG and complemented Abhishek Sharma from the other end.
It appeared like SRH might have found their right batting combination, but a bit too late with Henrich Klaasen and Kamindum Mendis guiding the middle order.
Sunrisers Hyderabad are expected to have another go with the same batting order and would want their middle-order batters to come good once again against RCB.
The move of sending Nitish Kumar Reddy lower down the order has also paid rich dividends as his batting at number six or seven provides depth in SRH's batting order.
If Sunrisers Hyderabad goes into the match against RCB with an unchanged lineup, it would be a good sign for them for the next season.
Amidst all the chaos, Aniket Verma is the one batter who has been the shining light for SRH in an otherwise disappointing batting performance in the season.
Bowlers: Pat Cummins (c), Harshal Patel, Eshan Malinga, Harsh Dubey, Zeeshan Ansari
Sunrisers Hyderabad would be satisfied by the way the bowlers pulled things back against SRH after going for plenty of runs in the first ten overs.
The Pat Cummins-led side was able to stem the flow of runs in the middle overs, thereby restricting LSG to a chaseable total.
The comeback was orchestrated by Eshan Malinga, who picked up wickets at crucial moments and did not gave batters the opportunity to score runs.
The Sunrisers Hyderabad bowling attack would want to build on the momentum they have got on their side against a strong RCB batting lineup.
Sunrisers Hyderabad might go in with the same spin bowling pair of Harsh Dubey and Zeeshan Ansari, both of whom bowled well in the last game.
