Series: Indian Premier League 2023
Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bangalore, 65th Match 18th May 7.30 PM IST
Venue: Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad
Sunrisers Hyderabad have been eliminated from the race to playoffs. They will now face RCB in their last home game of the season. Sunrisers were impressive with the ball in their last encounter against GT. However, they failed big time when it came to chasing down a gettable total.
The visitors, on the other hand, stand in stark contrast in terms of their recent performance. RCB will carry the momentum from their record win over RR. The bowling that’s been expensive for most of the season, finally came good for RCB in a must-win match.
Parnell, Bracewell, and Karn Sharma were all impressive.
Sunrisers Hyderabad Preview
Sunrisers Hyderabad had a forgettable season this year with 4 wins from 12 matches so far. There is enough talent in this side to get them to top position in the points table.
In addition to the overseas players like Markram, Brook, Klaasen, and Glenn Phillips, Sunrisers also have some uncapped talent like Abhishek Sharma and Abdul Samad
Royal Challengers Bangalore Preview
The title hopes are still alive for RCB as they defeated RR by a huge margin. Not only did they add 2 important points to their tally, but also improved their NRR significantly.
RCB can get a maximum of 16 points and it will all come down to NRR at the end. Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis should be more attacking in the powerplay to take RCB to a much bigger total. It was a great bowling effort from RCB that won them the last match against RR.
