Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru – Betting Tips & Match Prediction (IPL 2024)

• Heinrich Klaasen

The SRH wk-batsman has scored 268 runs from seven matches so far. He has scored these runs at a blistering strike rate of 198.52 and an impressive average of 53.60. He has smashed 26 sixes, the most in the tournament so far. When SRH faced RCB in Hyderabad last year, Klaasen scored a fantastic 104 off just 51 balls.

• Travis Head

The Aussie has scored 324 runs so far, the most after Virat Kohli. His strike rate of 216.00 is the highest among batters with 200+ runs. In the first leg, Head scored 102 runs off 41 balls and brought up the fastest IPL century by an SRH batsman ever.

• Mayank Markande

In the last two matches, when SRH’s bowlers were being taken to the cleaners in the powerplay, Mayank Markande was able to choke the flow of runs in the middle overs. He picked up two crucial wickets in each of those matches, paving the way for an SRH victory. The RCB batters have struggled against spin, so it’s no surprise that Markande will be key here in this contest.

• Will Jacks

With their overseas contingent in abysmal form, including captain Faf, it is up to Will Jacks to step up and shoulder the responsibility with Virat Kohli. He lived up to his reputation of being a hard hitter against KKR, scoring a brisk 55 off 32 balls. He can be handy with the ball too.

• Virat Kohli

With 379 runs from eight matches, Virat Kohli is still the orange cap holder. He has scored the most runs against SRH among all RCB players. Kohli had scored a match-winning century against the hosts the last time they met at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium.

• Karn Sharma

It‘s a surprise that the RCB management had Karn Sharma benched for so long, considering he is their only specialist spinner. Also, he’s been economical with the ball, picking up important wickets against the flow of runs. Against KKR in their last match, Sharma almost pulled off a victory when he smashed Mitchell Starc for three sixes in the final over.
