Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bangalore are locking horns today afternoon. The team who wins the toss might elect to bat first. Both the teams are currently at 4th and 6th positions. A win here will make them closer to the playoffs race. SRH will enter the top 4 if they win today.
Royal Challengers Bangalore came back strongly in the last match after hat-trick losses. Will it be the same for SRH who are coming back after the hat-trick losses? Injuries are a major concern for the Hyderabad franchise as Natarajan and Washington Sundar didn’t play the previous match due to injuries. While Washington Sundar might be available for today’s match, Natarajan will not available.
On the other hand, RCB has finally found some balance in the team. Apart from Faf and Virat’s form, the batting looks set. The death bowling of Hazlewood and Harshal Patel is impressive too. RCB will want to avenge the humiliating loss they came across SRH in their previous encounter where they were bundled out for just 68.
