Two iconic, rivalry matches down already, and we’re continuing with the theme-based games; the southern derby this time, as the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) face off against the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the Dream 11 IPL 2020 third match on 21 September. Both sides will be missing out on a couple of key English and Australian buys- owing to the six-day quarantine they’ll have to observe. But that opens up some exciting, opportunities for the uncapped Indian stars out there; and to help all you fantasy XI players out there, here’s a comprehensive, preview, RCB VS SRH Dream 11 prediction from our side.

Pitch Report

Batting wise, the pitch will most likely show signs of deterioration after the Delhi-Punjab from the evening before. Spinners should, once again, relish the prospect of bowling slower and higher in such conditions. Batsmen better beware of the extra bounce and the dropped pace that the pitch has to offer.

Weather Report

Almost identical from last night, with slightly more humidity in the air at around 48%. Bowlers relying on swing and turn should enjoy the moderately windy conditions (24kmph) available out there. It’ll be a relatively hot evening, with the average temperature hovering around 38 degrees Celcius.

Head to Head

Sunrisers Hyderabad 8 vs Royal Challengers Bangalore 6
