Toss Prediction
The ball generally tends to do a lot more during the second period play at the M Chinnaswamy. And also since five of the last seven IPL matches here have been won by the side batting first, there is a good chance that the toss-winning team might elect to bat first. We predict Sunrisers Hyderabad to win the toss on Tuesday as Royal Challengers Bangalore have lost the toss five times in their last eight matches at this venue.

RCB Team News & Playing 11
Team News
Royal Challengers Bangalore have roped in Harpreet Singh as replacement for batsman Sarfaraz Khan who had picked up an injury during a practice game before the start of the tournament. The team is expected to retain the same group of eleven that played the last game against Kolkata Knight Riders.
Key Players
Virat Kohli is the only batsman in the side to have hit two fifties this IPL while AB de Villiers has the best batting average among all. With Chris Gayle being inconsistent, RCB will look to these two to deliver the goods with the bat. Yuzvendra Chahal and Samuel Badree will be the key men in Bangalore's bowling attack. The legspinners have so far taken 10 and 6 wickets respectively and they might cause a few problems for the Sunrisers.
Recent Form
Languishing at the bottom of the points table with just a couple of wins from seven league matches, Royal Challengers Bangalore are struggling big time and they need to win a few games in a row to keep their playoffs chances alive. Their biggest cause for concern is that their formidable batting lineup has failed to live up to its expectations on several occasions.
RCB Predicted Playing 11
-
CH Gayle, V Kohli (c), Mandeep Singh, AB de Villiers, KM Jadhav (wk), STR Binny, P Negi, S Badree, TS Mills, S Aravind, YS Chahal.
SRH Team News & Playing 11
Team News
Bangladeshi fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman is set to leave Sunrisers Hyderabad to join his national team in the UK for the preparation of Ireland tri-series. Since he has played only one game for SRH this IPL, his unavailability for the remaining part of the season won't hurt the team so much.
Key Players
Moises Henriques scored an unbeaten half-century in the last game. He also has a fifty against RCB in the reverse fixture, making him a batsman to watch out for. David Warner, who is the most important member in the team's batting lineup, is just 18 runs away from regaining the orange cap. Purple cap holder Bhuvneshwar Kumar and legspinner Rashid Khan have bowled well consistently and SRH will want these two to carry their good form into this match.
Recent Form
Sunrisers Hyderabad have four wins and three defeats from their seven league matches and are currently third on the IPL leaderboard with eight points. They could not convert their two-match win streak into three as they went down to Rising Pune Supergiant by six wickets in their last game.
SRH Predicted Playing 11
-
DA Warner (c), S Dhawan, KS Williamson, MC Henriques, DJ Hooda, NV Ojha (wk), Bipul Sharma, B Kumar, Rashid Khan, Mohammed Siraj, S Kaul.

RCB vs SRH Head to Head
Out of the 10 matches played between the two teams, 4 have been won by Royal Challengers Bangalore and 5 by Sunrisers Hyderabad. So it has been pretty even-steven in terms of overall head-to-head count. The two teams have met five times at the M Chinnaswamy with the hosts RCB winning on three occasions.
RCB vs SRH Betting Odds
Royal Challengers Bangalore's performance the other night against the Kolkata Knight Riders was the weakest in the history of the Indian Premier League where their entire batting lineup folded up for just 49 runs inside 10 overs. Bookmakers are however hopeful of a strong comeback from RCB who are surprisingly as short as 1.78 with Betfair and 1.80 with Bet365. Sunrisers Hyderabad are yet to win an away game this season and this could be the reason why they are as high as 2.16 with 1xbet and 2 with bet365.
RCB vs SRH Prediction
Royal Challengers Bangalore have managed to muster just two wins so far and they are facing a prospect of being knocked out of the tournament before the knockout round. So the Virat Kohli-led side is under enormous pressure as the IPL 2017 nears its second phase. A not-so-strong bowling attack was a concern for them at the start of the season but a misfiring star-studded batting lineup seems to be an even bigger concern at the moment.
Sunrisers Hyderabad, on the flipside, have shown a lot more consistency and having got the better of Bangalore in the season opener will make them even more confident ahead of this match. SRH have beaten RCB on previous three occasions now and we predict Warner's men to beat them again come Tuesday.
Final Verdict: Back Sunrisers Hyderabad to beat Royal Challengers Bangalore in the 29th match of IPL 2017 at 2.16 with 1xbet and 2 with bet365.
