SRH vs RCB Dream11 Team Prediction of IPL 2019: Preview

By Pranob Thachanthara

Hello and Welcome to our preview for Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bangalore match. We are covering SRH vs RCB Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI for the T20 match. The match is to be played at Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad.

Team Sunrisers Hyderabad got their first victory of the season defeating Rajasthan Royals by five wickets. Bowling first, Hyderabad bowlers failed to restrict Rajasthan Royals leading to a target of 199 runs. Rashid Khan and Siddharth Kaul were the only positives with the ball. Chasing the target, Openers David Warner and Jonny Bairstow played impressive knocks of 69 and 45 respectively to give a strong start to the team. A 15-ball 35 from Vijay Shankar and handy cameos from Yusuf and Rashid ensured comfortable chase of the target. Hyderabad will hope for a better performance from their pace attack led by Bhuvneshwar Kumar and will be determined to get another victory tomorrow defeating RCB.

Royal Challengers Bangalore have not got a good start to the season losing both of their matches. In the last match, They lost to Mumbai Indians by 6 runs. Bowling first, Yuzi Chahal took a brilliant four wicket-haul and was supported by Siraj and Umesh both taking two scalps each to restrict Mumbai at 187. Chasing the target, AB De Villiers played an unbeaten knock of 70 runs and was supported by Virat Kohli and Parthiv but were unluckily left behind by 6 runs. The last ball blunder from Umpire for not giving no-ball was the difference resulting in another loss for RCB. They will come all guns blazing to give a tough challenge to Hyderabad and open their account in IPL’19.

A good encounter can be expected between both teams.
