What Have The Two Teams Done So Far?
It’s been a tournament to forget so far for RCB as they have slumped to five defeats from six matches. They are on the 10th spot in the IPL 2024 points table. On the other hand, Hyderabad have won three off five and have a chance to make it to the third spot here with a win, ahead of Chennai Super Kings.
Quick RCB vs SRH Preview
Royal Challengers Bangalore have become a part of online memes from their fans and critics alike because of their continued poor performances.
And that has been down to their bowling which continues to leak aplenty.
As such, the selection of Will Jacks in their previous game against Mumbai Indians was a good call but did not reap too many benefits. One, because he didn’t get many – but that might change soon – but more importantly because there is only so much that their bowlers can do on flat pitches.
Mumbai Indians chased down the target of 197 in less than 16 overs in a statement win.
Unfortunately for Bangalore, that has continued to remain the theme of their campaign and only Yash Dayal (8.31) and Glenn Maxwell (8.44), among their bowlers has conceded less than nine an over. That won’t win you a lot of matches.
On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad have been led ably by Pat Cummins, who has not only led them well but also from the front.
In a high-scoring tournament where teams have scored and chased down 200 with aplomb, Cummins has conceded a mere 7.3 an over and picked up eight wickets.
What’s even more interesting to see is that none of the SRH batters have got to even 200 runs in the tournament so far but there are five who have all scored their runs at a strike-rate of 170 and above.
They are coming off a hair-raising win over Punjab Kings after having conceded 26 of the 29 runs needed from the final over of their opponent’s chase.
