Preview
Royal Challengers Bengaluru will compete against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 30th match of the IPL 2024 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru . Following their four successive losses, RCB has dropped to the bottom of the IPL points table, struggling for answers in all departments of the game. Meanwhile, SRH have picked up a couple of wins in succession, to find themselves in the middle half of the IPL 2024 standings, looking to keep the momentum going.
Pitch Report
The pitches at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru are known to be very good for batting in the T20 format, and it’s been the case in the ongoing season of the IPL. With that, the average first innings score of 172 at this venue in the tournament’s history, will be quite hard for either RCB or SRH to defend in their upcoming match.
Team Analysis
Royal Challengers Bengaluru
After Virat Kohli had a rare failure in RCB colours, Rajat Patidar stepped up for the first time in the IPL 2024, scoring a fifty, to play a key role in helping them post a very good score over 190 in their previous match against Mumbai Indians. But, the bowling department of Royal Challengers Bengaluru came a cropper in front of the MI batting lineup, who chased down the total within just 16 overs.
