Match No. 41 of IPL 2024 will feature the strongest batting line-up of the season, Sunrisers Hyderabad, colliding with probably the weakest bowling line-up of the season, RCB. The Faf du Plessis-led side is on the verge of getting knocked out of the season. In 8 outings so far, the Challengers have only managed to win one game, against Punjab Kings. With just two points, RCB is dwelling at the bottom of the table.
On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad’s batters have seemed to be unstoppable. Scoring 250+ has seemed like a cakewalk for them. It will be the 2nd meeting between SRH and RCB this season, and the last game witnessed SRH batters wreaking havoc against Virat Kohli’s team. SRH scored 287 runs in that match, which is now the highest-ever IPL total. However, RCB showcased a good fight while chasing and managed to score 262 runs.
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium Hyderabad Pitch Report for SRH vs RCB match
A flat surface with an even bounce makes Hyderabad pitch a high-scoring one. Chasing a big total is also possible here. So the toss winner in the RCB vs SRH match may go for bowl first. However, given SRH batters’ form, if they win the toss, they may consider opting to bat first. Pacers might be able to move the new ball, but bowlers will have a hard time once the batters settle in.
