The second match of Saturday’s doubleheader will see Sunrisers Hyderabad take on Royal Challengers Bangalore. Both sides will be looking to continue their winning run when they meet at Mumbai’s Brabourne Stadium.
SRH are high on confidence after four successive wins. After a bumpy start in this edition of the Indian Premier League, the Kane Williamson-led team has bounced back in style.
Their bowling attack boasts of lethal pacers like Umran Malik, T Natarajan and Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Kumar and Malik scalped 7 wickets between themselves in the last fixture. As for batting, Rahul Tripathi, Abhishek Sharma, Aiden Markram and Nicholas Pooran are all in form.
For RCB, the form of Virat Kohli remains a concern. While skipper Faf du Plessis, Dinesh Karthik and Shahbaz Ahmed are in good form, the Bangalore-based franchise need their former skipper to step up and score some runs. Du Plessis scored 96 in RCB’s last match and he would be looking to carry forward the momentum. As for the side’s bowling attack, Josh Hazlewood and Harshal Patel have been great with the ball recently.
The match could very well come down to which side bowls better at the Brabourne.
