Double Header Brings Non-Stop Cricket Action for Fans
New Delhi: Super Sunday of IPL 2026 will be a great treat for cricket fans. There are not one but two big matches scheduled today, keeping the excitement going all day long. The first match will be played in the afternoon and the second in the evening, giving fans nonstop thrilling action.
The first match of the day will be played between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, Hyderabad, starting at 3:30 PM IST. This will also be the first match in Hyderabad this season.
SRH made a remarkable comeback from their first loss, registering a win, while LSG had a poor start, losing their first match. LSG will be looking for their first win.
The pitch at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium is generally considered batting-friendly. The fast bowlers may get some assistance initially, but it becomes easier for the batsmen to score runs later. The short boundaries and fast outfield could make this a high-scoring match.
Of the 83 matches played here so far, the team batting first has won 35, while the team batting second has won 47.
The second and biggest match of the day will be played between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at 7:30 PM at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. This ground is known for its small size and batsman-friendly pitch.
RCB registered a resounding victory against SRH in their first match, while CSK have lost both their opening matches. Therefore, CSK will be looking to bounce back in this match.
