BLR vs SRH Dream11 Match Prediction FREE TEAMS | RCB vs SRH Today IPL Match 31 October

BLR vs SRH Dream11 Prediction: Technically, neither of Royal Challengers Bangalore and Sunrisers Hyderabad are out of contention but former do have a lot more breathing space than the latter. With 14 points from 12 games, RCB only need a win while SRH will have to win their both matches first and then will have to hope for other results going their way. First thing first, both will be up against each other at Sharjah today in an evening match. We will preview BLR vs SRH Dream11 contest.

Royal Challengers Bangalore had a tough one against Mumbai Indians in their last match. Batting first, Josh Philippe and Devdutt Padikkal gave them a perfect start with a 71-run opening partnership. Devdutt Padikkal continued on and converted into a big one as he registered 74. But RCB middle order failed to back up as Jasprit Bumrah pegged them back significantly. In the end, they were limited to 164 runs from their 20 overs. In reply, bowlers did well in the first half but failed to strike at important moments in the chase as Suryakumar Yadav took over for Mumbai. Mohammed Siraj and Yuzvendra Chahal took a couple each but Mumbai Indians sailed home in the end.

Sunrisers Hyderabad must be thrilled after their performance against Delhi Capitals in the last match. Batting first, David Warner and his new partner Wriddhiman Saha gave them a rollicking start with a hundred plus stand. Once David Warner was dismissed on 66, Manish Pandey joined Wriddhiman Saha for further carnage. Wriddhiman Saha was unfortunate on missing out on his ton but his 87 propelled SRH to a magnificent 219 for 2. In reply, Sunrisers bowlers never allowed Delhi batsmen to take control of the chase. Rashid Khan returned with figures of 4-0-7-3 while Sandeep Sharma and T Natarajan also picked up two scalps each. Sunrisers Hyderabad beat Delhi Capitals by a margin of 88 runs to boost their NRR also.

In head-to-head comparisons, there is nothing much to choose between these two sides from previous records. Sunrisers Hyderabad have 8 matches in their bag while RCB came out smiling on 7 occasions from 16 matches played between them. In last 5 matches, RCB have had an upper hand with a 3-2 lead over their rivals. In the first meeting this year, Sunrisers Hyderabad failed to chase down 163 runs against RCB at Dubai very early in the season.

Pitch and Conditions

Sharjah has remained high-scoring compared to other two venues but scores have come down here as well in last few matches. Shorter boundaries here will always help batsmen but slowness in the pitch should be enough for spinners to have their say. We have also seen new ball swing in last couple of matches here. So, that’s another thing to watch out today.

Captain Picks

For Small Leagues

• Virat Kohli is a premier option today for the captaincy. Just like KL Rahul, he gives you surety of some points at least. With 424 runs from 12 innings, he is the leading run-scorer for RCB again this year. Only thing he will be looking to do more today is to score at a slightly better clip.
• David Warner and short mid-wicket boundaries augurs well for SRH today. He is fresh from his 66 in the last match and with qualification on the line for his team, he will be extra-motivated to play a significant role no doubt.
• Rashid Khan has been playing IPL since 2016 but batsmen are still struggling to pick his googlies from the hand. As a result, batsmen are finding it very hard to score against him. He is having the best economy rate (5.00) so far this season. He can be bet upon even in Sharjah with Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers in his sights.

For Grand Leagues

• When RCB met SRH in first match this year, Yuzvendra Chahal turned the match with his spell in the middle overs. His figures read 3-18 from 4 overs that night in Dubai. He is the leading wicket-taker for RCB with 18 wickets from 12 matches.
• AB de Villiers must be having very good memories of Sharjah as his best innings this year came here against KKR. He stormed his way to 73* and if we get anything near to that knock today, your fantasy potential will be soaring through the roofs. Only thing he should be aware about today is his record against Rashid Khan.
• Manish Pandey is more than just a differential today in the grand leagues teams. He had a quiet beginning to the season but has found his way back into form in the second half. Sharjah pitch should suit his style of stroke-play. His last 3 scores are: 44*, 15, 83*.

Who will win BLR vs SRH Today Match Prediction?

As per our BLR vs SRH Today Match Prediction, Royal Challengers Bangalore are primed to win this encounter against Sunrisers Hyderabad. RCB are better outfit if we compare these two sides on paper but a pitch like Sharjah gives an excellent opportunity to Sunrisers Hyderabad with batsmen like David Warner, Manish Pandey & Kane Williamson in the fray.
