RCB vs SRH Match Preview
As Royal Challengers Bangalore prepares to lock horns with Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 30th match of the IPL 2024, they find themselves in a challenging position. With just one win under their belt, they currently occupy the bottom spot on the points table, a stark contrast to SRH’s more promising fifth position, secured through three hard-fought victories.
The home team, RCB, will be desperate for a win to keep their playoff hopes alive. However, the task at hand will not be an easy one, as their bowlers will be tasked with containing SRH’s star-studded batting lineup on the batter-friendly surface of the Chinnaswamy Stadium.
SRH, on the other hand, will be riding high on confidence after back-to-back wins against Chennai Super Kings and Punjab Kings. They will undoubtedly be seeking a hat-trick of victories, reminiscent of their triumph over RCB in the final of the 2016 IPL, where they lifted their maiden title on this very ground.
In the wake of their dismal performance, RCB might be tempted to make some bold changes to their playing XI. After dropping Cameron Green in the previous encounter, it appears that Glenn Maxwell‘s lacklustre form might cost him his spot in the team.
RCB’s desperate need to bolster their bowling attack could pave the way for Lockie Ferguson‘s inclusion, alongside Alzarri Joseph, potentially at the expense of Maxwell and Reece Topley. Additionally, Maxwell‘s minor thumb injury might make RCB’s decision to drop him a little easier.
On the other hand, SRH, fresh off a two-match winning streak, is unlikely to tinker with the combination that has worked wonders for them. However, the M. Chinnaswamy surface, known to favour slower bowlers, might compel SRH to field both Jaydev Unadkat and T. Natarajan, despite their similar bowling styles. Nevertheless, a change in the playing XI seems inevitable in the upcoming games.
RCB vs SRH Head To Head Records
Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Sunrisers Hyderabad have faced each other 22 times in the IPL, with SRH taking a slight lead with 12 wins, while RCB has emerged victorious on 10 occasions.

M. Chinnaswamy Stadium Pitch Report
The pitch at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium is expected to be flat, with no significant assistance for the bowlers. The spinners may get oddballs to grip and turn, but it’s a small ground, and even mishits can clear the ropes, making it challenging for the bowlers.
The M. Chinnaswamy stadium is known for its batting-friendly surface, where batters get a good bounce and can connect the ball well. It is considered a batters’ paradise and a nightmare for fast bowlers, where teams can chase even 200+ targets in T20 cricket easily. However, as the match progresses, the pitch becomes more spin-friendly, and spinners can make the ball turn on both sides.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Sunrisers Hyderabad – Who Will Win?
Sunrisers Hyderabad is a better-balanced team than RCB, with most of their batters in great form, while their bowling has also looked impressive, with Cummins and Bhuvneshwar Kumar performing well in recent games.
