RCB vs SRH Dream11: The 54th match of the Indian T20 League sees Bangalore take on Hyderabad at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday. After suffering three consecutive defeats, Bangalore returned to winnings ways after winning the last match against Chennai. Faf du Plessis and Co. are currently placed at number four on the points table with 6 wins to their name in 11 matches.
On the other hand, Hyderabad lost their last three games but they fought hard in those matches. The batting unit is in good form and the franchise would be looking to return to winning ways. With 5 wins in 10 matches, Hyderabad is sitting at number six on the table.
Royal Challengers Bangalore:
Bangalore won their last game against Chennai but Virat Kohli’s is a concern for the team. But Mahipal Lamror played a brilliant knock and that should give them confidence. As far as bowling is concerned, Bangalore won’t be worrying too much.
Players to watch out for:
1. Faf du Plessis
Faf du Plessis hasn’t managed to replicate a season similar to the last one but he is amongst the runs. The skipper played a handy knock of 38 runs in 22 balls in the last game. On a good batting surface at Wankhede Stadium, expect him to play a big knock with the bat.
2. Mahipal Lomror
Mahipal Lomror showed his potential in the last game with an important knock of 42 runs in 27 balls, including 3 fours and 2 sixes. Lomror will be a player to watch out for on Sunday.
3. Harshal Patel
Harshal Patel bowled in good areas in the last game and looked in a great rhythm. He returned with brilliant bowling figures of 3 for 35 in 4 overs. His variations are going to prove handy on a good batting surface in Mumbai. His spell is going to be vital to the team’s fortune.
Sunrisers Hyderabad:
Kane Williamson’s form with the bat is a big concern for the team. The likes of Aiden Markram and Nicholas Pooran are in fine form but Hyderabad’s opening pair need to give a solid start with the bat. Umran Malik had a forgettable outing in the last match but is unlikely to be dropped in the next match. Besides, Abdul Samad might be added to the playing XI as well.
Players to watch out for:
1. Aiden Markram
Aiden Markram is in sensational form with the bat. He has been consistently scoring vital runs for the team. Though, he would be disappointed that his team isn’t winning the games. He is currently the second-highest run-scorer of the team, having managed 305 runs in 10 matches at a strike rate of 151.74.
2. Nicholas Pooran
Nicholas Pooran is in a sensational form. He played an outstanding knock in the last game and might have snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. But, unfortunately, he got out after scoring 62 runs in just 34 balls. Pooran will be one of the players to watch out for.
3. Bhuvneshwar Kumar
Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s performances in the last few games should inspire a lot of confidence. He is bowling a lot faster and pitching in the right areas. His four-over spell is going to prove vital on Wankhede’s surface on Sunday.
