RCB vs SRH Team Previews

Royal Challengers Bengaluru

The Royal Challengers are among the most consistent teams this year. With only 3 losses in 12 matches, they are currently second on the points table and have already qualified for the playoffs. However, they will look to win here to ensure a top-two finish.

Jacob Bethell and Virat Kohli are likely to continue opening the batting for RCB in this match. Virat Kohli’s red-hot form with the bat has been one of the key reasons for RCB’s dream run so far. With Devdutt Padikkal and Rajat Patidar both contributing at various stages of the game, the Royal Challengers boast of a solid middle order, while Tim David, Romario Shepherd, and Krunal Pandya are likely to provide the fireworks during the death overs.

With Josh Hazlewood likely to be unavailable for this match, the Royal Challengers are likely to continue with Lungi Ngidi as the overseas seamer. He will be joined by Bhuvaneshwar Kumar and Yash Dayal. Krunal Pandya, who has picked up 14 wickets so far, will lead the spin department.

Sunrisers Hyderabad

The Sunrisers Hyderabad are already eliminated from the race to the playoffs. However, they came up with an excellent performance on Monday to defeat the Lucknow Super Giants. They will look to put up a similar performance in this match as well and end the campaign on a high.

Abhishek Sharma struck a brilliant half-century in the previous match to set the stage for a successful run chase by SRH, and the team will bank on him to give them a good start. Travis Head missed the previous match but is likely to be available for this game and will join Sharma in the opening slot.

Heinrich Klaasen has been a solid performer in the middle order and will be joined by the likes of Ishan Kishan, Kamindu Mendis, and Aniket Verma. The bowling from SRH has been pretty ordinary so far. While Harshal Patel and Pat Cummins have picked up 28 wickets between them, they have been expensive at times.

The other seamers, Eshan Malinga and Jaydev Unadkat, have struggled to pick up wickets. With Zeeshan Ansari being the only full-time slow bowler, the spin department is almost non-existent.

RCB vs SRH Toss Prediction

6 of the last 10 matches played here have been won while batting first. In 9 of those games, the captain opted to bowl first after winning the toss, and we expect that trend to continue.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The match was originally supposed to be played at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru but it has now been shifted to the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. We have seen the pitch in Lucknow behave a bit on the slower side but it has allowed the batters to score freely on occasions as well. RCB will be hoping for a true batting surface.

We think something around 180 will be hard to chase down on that surface and the spinners will be key.

RCB vs SRH: Who Will Win?

We are backing the Royal Challengers to win this match. They have been excellent throughout this season and are even more dangerous on home turf. The team has a well-balanced bowling unit that complements a strong batting line-up. The Sunrisers are a bit too dependent on their top-3 or even top-2 for our liking.

RCB vs SRH win percentage stands at 62% in favor of RCB.
