Pre-Match Analysis:
Sunrisers Hyderabad have adopted an aggressive style of play right from the start and it has paid high dividends for them as they collected 10 points from 7 matches this season so far and sit 3rd in the standings with 10 points. Openers Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma are in resounding form and provided stunning starts which is the major reason behind their successful campaign. They posted 266 runs in their latest fixture against Delhi, their 3rd 250-plus score this season, and comfortably won the game by 67 runs. When batters are doing the heavy lifting, T Natarajan shined with the ball, picking up 10 wickets in his last 5 appearances and the clever thinking of Pat Cummins earned him 9 wickets.
They previously belted RCB for a record-breaking 287 runs and aiming to repeat a similar performance this time. Sunrisers have won their previous four matches and are keen to extend the winning momentum.
Scoring 221 and 262 in the last two outings against Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers, didn’t fetch wins for Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Faf du Plessis and company are enduring a six-match losing streak before heading into this match, their fifth away clash this year. Bowling has flopped once again which shows their poor set of strategies in the auction. Glenn Maxwell who took a break due to mental health is in contention for a comeback and might replace Cameron Green.
They form a formidable batting attack having the likes of Will Jacks, Faf du Plessis, Dinesh Karthik, Virat Kohli, and Rajat Patidar. One loss from here on will end their campaign for sure as they still sit at the bottom of the standings with 2 points.
