Sunrisers Hyderabad go head-to-head against Royal Challengers Bangalore in the 65th match of the Indian Premier League at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium Hyderabad on 18th May, Thursday at 7:30 PM IST.
Sunrisers Hyderabad’s dream of reaching playoffs came crashing down when they lost to Gujarat Titans in the last game. With just 4 wins of 12 games, they just didn’t have the season they wanted, and they’ll be looking to bow out head high with the remaining two games. They were up against Gujarat Titans, the bowling looking ordinary until Gujarat were 147-1 but they stormed back into the game to restrict them to 188 in the end.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar was the pick of the bowlers with another fifer in the IPL. It was the batting that once again disappointed, with so much firepower Sunrisers kept losing wickets, and only Heinrich Klaasen, who’s been ominous this season impressed with 64 runs. Sunrisers eventually succumbed to another defeat.
Royal Challengers Bangalore needed a win and they responded magnificently against Rajasthan Royals, not only they won but they boosted their net run rate to go past Rajasthan and now with two more games to go, they need to win two, and then with a healthy net run rate they are in with a chance. On a tricky surface in Jaipur, Bangalore posted rather a par total and everyone thought they were 15 runs short but what came after something that many wouldn’t believe.
They bundled out Rajasthan to a paltry 59 and won the game by a mammoth 112 runs. Wayne Parnell was the chief destructor with the ball as he scalped a three-for. Bracewell and Karn Sharma chipped in with two wickets a piece. Earlier with the bat, Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell’s partnership took to them to a safe total of 171 as Anuj Rawat finally got his bat talking with a quick-fire 29 off 11 balls that powered Bangalore to 171.

The pitch in Hyderabad has been a belter for the batters, they can hit through the line and the ball will come onto the bat nicely. Having said that, as the game progresses the pitch gets slower, and the spinners will come into play and the batters should assess the condition. Teams should not for aim too high a total and then crash for a below-par total. Teams like to chase on this wicket. The average first innings score on this pitch is 168.
The last game surface proved to be a belter for the batting team. Sunrisers Hyderabad just didn’t put enough runs on the board as they missed out at the end. Lucknow cruised through to win it in the end. Bowlers need to keep it wicket to wicket as there isn’t going to much in it for the pacers and spinners might need to toss it up more. In the last game, pacers picked up 3 wickets while spinners dominated by scalping 6 wickets.

Aiden Markram is still Sunrisers best player with the bat, he hasn’t got himself going but he’s only just one game away to pick up his form and perform well.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar is a top bowler of the Sunrisers side, his ability to swing up top and then at the death, he’s done reasonably well in recent times to peg back the opposition.
Faf du Plessis is the orange cap holder of the season for now, which means he has mostly scored runs all the time for the team and he’s led as an example for his side.
The superstar of Royal Challengers Bangalore has been among the runs this season. Kohli is due to get a big one and this might be the game he’s going after it.
