Another southern derby of Tata IPL is on its way. Royal Challengers Bangalore will take on Sunrises Hyderabad who are on a roll after losing their first 2 games.
Overview:
Sunrisers Hyderabad: After the way Sunrisers Hyderabad played their first 2 games, all thought that they would end up in bottom 2 at the end of league stage but what followed was A Sun Rise for Hyderabad, they won all their last four games to stay at number 5 in points table. They started winning streak from the game against Chennai Super kings; their top order scoring heavily. Kane and Abishek Sharma providing steady starts and Markram ,Tripathi and Pooran run the game in middle and give good finishes.
Their fast bowling line is probably the best in the league:
1) Bhuvneshwar kumar - can swing the ball both ways , good slower ones and knuckle balls
2) Umran Malik- Extreme pace , decives batsman with his pace
3) Natrajan - Yorker and Death over specialist
4) Marco Jansen - pace and swing
Everyone is performing in team's victory and as they are winning ,there's no room for changes in their final 11.
Royal Challengers Bangalore:
RCB won their last clash against Lucknow Super Giants and currently are at 3rd position in points table. Faf du Plessis is back to form and that's good news for Royal challengers Bangalore. Their only worrying sign currently is their former skipper's form Virat who is going through a rough patch and have just managed under 120 runs in 6 innings. Maxwell ,Shahbaz Ahmed and Dinesh Karthik have overshadowed Virat Kohli’s failure; they are taking charge in middle and lower order and contributing in each innings. After the inclusion of Aussie pacer Josh Hazlewood, Bangalore's bowling also is looking strong .
RCB are expected to field the same 11.
Probable Playing XI:
Royal Challengers Bangalore: Anuj Rawat, Faf Du Plessis (C), Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell, Dinesh Karthik (WK), Shahbaz Ahmed, S Prabhudessai, Wanindu Hasaranga, Harshal Patel, Mohd. Siraj , Josh Hazelwood
Sunrisers Hyderabad : K Williamson (c), A Sharma, R Tripathi, A Markram, N Pooran (wk), S Singh, J Suchith, M Jansen, B Kumar, T Natarajan, U Malik.

There is going to be plenty of runs in it again but it might be just a touch drier. So if you are bowling first the spinners are definitely going to come into play. Still think it is a 180-190 surface though.
