SRH will be fighting for pride after exiting the competition as the second team after Delhi Capitals. This season, SRH’s performance has been underwhelming in both the batting and bowling departments.
No other batter could provide for the team, with the exception of Heinrich Klaasen and, to a lesser degree, Rahul Tripathi. Given the high expectations placed on the South African captain, SRH was severely hampered by Aiden Markram’s poor performance.
Harry Brook initially shown some promise before fading away, and Mayank Agarwal was nowhere to be seen. The most productive bowler for SRH, the seasoned Bhuvneshwar Kumar, has taken 14 wickets in 12 games, but he too didn’t appear to be at his best.
Despite Mayank Markande’s impressive performance (12 wickets in 10 games), SRH failed greatly as a result of the struggles of Marco Jansen, T Natarajan, and Umran Malik.
For RCB, along with captain Faf du Plessis, is Virat Kohli has been the leading run-scorer. However, following two consecutive losses the maestro will be eager to perform at his peak against SRH and advance his team’s cause.
Glenn Maxwell is the other batsman that RCB will be relying on. He has made a significant impression with his brilliant hits, which include five half-centuries. RCB are full of confidence following a dominant 112-run thrashing of Rajasthan Royals in their most recent encounter.
Wayne Parnell, Mohammed Siraj, and Michael Bracewell would once again be expected to perform on the bowling front. The previous game also saw RCB’s comeback to winning ways following consecutive losses to MI and Delhi Capitals.
