The Sunrisers Hyderabad will be playing this game for pride as they are out of the race for the playoffs.
Sunrisers Hyderabad will lock horns with Royal Challengers in the southern derby, this will be the 65th match of the season and will be played at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Hyderabad. The Orange Army have not been able to click as a unit this season. They have quality in both batting and bowling departments but the execution on the field has been lacking. SRH also have been guilty of chopping and changing their team quite a lot this season. Heinrich Klaasen has been the only one who has shown consistency while the rest of the batters have just not been able to bat according to their potential. SRH will be playing this game for pride as they are out of the race for the playoffs.
RCB, on the other hand, have blown hot and cold this season. They are coming into this game on the back of a fantastic win against the Rajasthan Royals. RCB’s batting line-up is heavily dependent on their top order, Faf du Plessis, Virat Kohli and Glenn Maxwell have done the bulk of run scoring this season. Royal Challengers Bangalore have been brilliant with the ball in the Powerplay this season. Mohammed Siraj has swung the ball both ways and Wayne Parnell also showed his quality in the last game. Death bowling though is a bit of a concern for RCB and that could be tested in this fixture against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
