SRH vs RR Dream11 Prediction: 2nd Match, IPL 2025 | Match Preview
Hello and Welcome to the SRH vs RR Dream11 Prediction for the 2nd match of IPL 2025.
Last season’s 2nd and 3rd place finishers, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals, are set to clash in what promises to be a thrilling contest.
Both teams had a solid campaign in the previous season, winning 8 matches each in the league phase.
They’ll now look to kick off IPL 2025 with winning momentum and set the tone early in the tournament.
Sunrisers Hyderabad:
Sunrisers Hyderabad had a fantastic run last season and came very close to winning the IPL 2024 title, but a sudden batting collapse in the final cost them the trophy.
Batting has been their biggest strength, and they’ve looked to keep that core intact for IPL 2025.
Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma were brilliant at the top, scoring 567 and 484 runs respectively, both playing key roles in their strong season.
In the league stage, SRH played 14 matches, won 8, lost 5, and had one match washed out, finishing 2nd on the points table with 17 points.
Rajasthan Royals:
Rajasthan Royals were equally impressive in IPL 2024, showing consistency throughout the season.
However, their campaign ended in disappointment after they lost to Sunrisers Hyderabad in Qualifier 2, just one step away from the final.
RR played 14 matches, won 8, lost 5, and had one match washed out, finishing 3rd on the points table with 17 points, tied with SRH but behind on net run rate.
With the bat, Sanju Samson and Riyan Parag led from the front, scoring 531 and 573 runs, respectively, and were key to RR’s deep run in the tournament.

Team News
Sunrisers Hyderabad
Abhinav Manohar has officially joined the Sunrisers Hyderabad squad for IPL 2025. He had a fantastic run in the Maharaja T20 Trophy, finishing as the 2nd highest run-scorer in the tournament.
Given his recent form and explosive batting ability, he is most likely to be seen in the playing 11, adding more depth and power to SRH’s middle order.
Rajasthan Royals
Riyan Parag will take over the captaincy for Rajasthan Royals in the first three matches, as Sanju Samson is recovering from a finger injury he sustained during a match against England.
Sanju will still be part of the playing setup but only as a batter, likely coming in as an Impact Sub player. He won’t be keeping wickets during this period.
Dhruv Jurel is expected to take up the role of wicket-keeper batter in Samson’s absence behind the stumps.
Either Theekshana or Farooqi will play.
Shubham Dubey or Akash Madhwal will be seen in the playing 11.
