The Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, hosting the twenty-seventh match of IPL 2025 on April 11, 2025, at 07:30 PM IST, is known for its balanced surface. Experts from SportsGully confirm that the pitch offers support to both batters and bowlers, with an average first-innings score of around 175-180, based on recent IPL data. The surface provides good pace and bounce for pacers early on, while spinners can exploit turns in the middle overs. Batters can score freely if they settle in, but the pitch tends to slow down later, aiding bowlers in defending totals. Teams batting second have a slight edge due to dew, making bowling first a strategic option. The weather is expected to be warm with temperatures around 30°C and humidity at 60%, with a low chance of rain, ensuring an uninterrupted match, though dew might influence the second innings.
