Match preview & overview
RCB end losing run with 35-run win over SRH in Hyderabad
Royal Challengers Bangalore beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by 35 runs at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on 25 April 2024. RCB, having won the toss and elected to bat, posted 206/7 across their 20 overs. SRH's reply never got going: four wickets fell inside the powerplay, and the home side finished on 171/8. Rajat Patidar was named Player of the Match for his contribution to RCB's total.
For RCB, this was a significant result in context. They had lost their previous five IPL matches in 2024, going down to Kolkata Knight Riders, SRH, Mumbai Indians, Rajasthan Royals, and Lucknow Super Giants in succession. The win came at the ground where they had also beaten SRH by 8 wickets in 2023, suggesting the Hyderabad venue has been relatively kind to the Bangalore side when the pitch suits batting first.
SRH, by contrast, came in on the back of four consecutive wins, having beaten Delhi Capitals, RCB, Punjab Kings, and Chennai Super Kings. Their only recent loss had been to Gujarat Titans. The powerplay collapse in the chase, conceding those 4 wickets inside six overs, was out of character with their recent performances and proved the difference.

Angles the data surfaced
- Top batter markets may offer more predictability than outright lines at this venue, given the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium's average first-innings score of 192 across 104 matches rewards consistent run-scorers.
- The chase success rate at this ground sits at 54 per cent, meaning markets that reflect a batting second advantage could be worth examining in future fixtures here.
- Powerplay wicket markets are historically lively at Hyderabad; SRH lost 4 wickets in the first six overs of their chase, a pattern that has repeated across the venue's recent IPL history.
- Player of the Match markets in high-scoring T20s often favour top-order batters who set the tempo; the 206/7 first-innings total here was built heavily in the powerplay and middle overs.
