IPL 2026 Eliminator, SRH vs RR Live Score: Pat Cummins-led Sunrisers Hyderabad
are taking on Rajasthan Royals in the first knockout match of the ongoing IPL 2026 season today. The winner of the IPL 2026 Eliminator between the two teams at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh tonight will qualify for Qualifier 2 against Gujarat Titans, which is also scheduled to be played at the same venue on Friday (May 29).SRH finished the league stage of IPL 2026 with 18 points from 14 matches. However, due to an inferior Net Run Rate (NRR) compared to RCB and GT, they ended up third in the points table. Under Cummins’ leadership, SRH will aim to deliver another strong performance tonight in Mullanpur and defeat the Royals
for the third time this season to secure a place in Qualifier 2.
The Royals, on the other hand, will be eager to settle the scores by registering a win tonight. 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and England fast bowler Jofra Archer will be key players for the Men in Pink.
