Key Players

Kane Williamson

Kane Williamson has taken the initiative to open the batting this season but his move hasn’t paid off. He is struggling with a strike-rate of less then 100 and there is a lot of criticism around him. He needs runs in the upcoming game to prove that he can open ahead of the likes of Tripathi and Markaram.

Wanindu Hasaranga

Wanindu Hasaranga has been a silent star in the RCB bowling attack. He is getting wickets on a regular business, and is proving why he is a new Sri Lankan superstar. Along with his bowling, Hasaranga is a valuable batter and has the potential to make an impact in both innings of the game.

SRH vs RCB Match Tips

RCB are coming in off a win while SRH are coming in off three losses. Although, with SRH’s batting looking good and Pooran in nice form, RCB may struggle to find ways to contain SRH and score against a strong bowling attack.

Match Prediction: SRH will win the match.
