Venue | Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad |
SRH has been knocked out of the playoff race after playing some poor cricket in the tournament. Deemed one of the favourites, SRH couldn’t live up to the expectations and lost eight of the 12 games. If they win all their remaining two matches, they will reach 12 points which won’t be enough for them to reach the top 4.
Meanwhile, RCB are well placed with 12 points in 12 games. They need to win both their games to qualify. They have a good run rate so even if MI or PBKS reach 16 points, RCB are likely to qualify.
The wicket will be a good one to bat. The ball has gripped and turned in Hyderabad so spinners will be key. The toss will be crucial as dew could play a significant role in the second innings, with the chasing team getting a huge advantage.
The weather will be hot and humid with temperature rising to 39 degrees. As mentioned before, dew could play a big role in the outcome of the match.
Anmolpreet Singh, Abhishek Sharma, Rahul Tripathi, Aiden Markram (captain), Heinrich Klaasen (wicketkeeper), Abdul Samad, Marco Jansen, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mayank Markande, Fazalhaq Farooqi and Umran Malik
Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis(c), Anuj Rawat, Glenn Maxwell, Mahipal Lomror, Dinesh Karthik(w), Michael Bracewell, Wayne Parnell, Karn Sharma, Harshal Patel, Mohammed Siraj
Not a lot of changes are expected. Umran Malik can get a game in the SRH team while RCB are likely to field the same team.
SRH has been one of the most consistent teams in IPL and they have enjoyed decent success over RCB, winning 12 of the 21 matches.

Faf has been brilliant in IPL 2023. He is the leading run-scorer of the tournament with 631 runs in 12 matches. Once again, a lot will rest on Faf du Plessis in this crucial must-win game for RCB.
Glenn Maxwell is another player we need in the team. Maxwell has played a few good innings with the bat while also bowling decently when required. On a pitch that may help the spinners, Maxwell may have a role to play with the ball as well.
Siraj has been outstanding throughout the season for RCB. With 16 wickets in 12 matches, he is the leading wicket-taker for RCB this season.
Klaasen has shown his class as a batter for SRH. He is the only player who has consistently done well for SRH. He scored a brilliant half-century in the last game against Gujarat Titans.
Bhuvi has got the ball to swing both ways. He was in top form in SRH’s last game against Gujarat Titans and picked a five-wicket haul.
