Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bangalore, IPL 2020
Royal Challengers Bangalore and Sunrisers Hyderabad join the 2020 IPL party when they face each other in the third match of the tournament. The match, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, takes place on September 21 and is scheduled to start at 19:30 local time.
Sunrisers Hyderabad finished fourth last season and have received a boost with the availability of their Australian and England players – which includes their likely opening pair of David Warner and Jonny Bairstow.
Royal Challengers Bangalore had even more reason to be grateful for their availability, however, given Aaron Finch and Adam Zampa are now among the players available from the very start. The two are among their eye-catching, big-money buys for the season.

The late change in guidelines means Sunrisers Hyderabad have opening pair David Warner and Jonny Bairstow available from the start and both are likely to feature in this game.
Sunrisers Hyderabad Key Players
- David Warner: Won the orange cap last season as he returned to the IPL in superb batting form and he showed in flashes against England that he is close to that form again.
- Rashid Khan: The world’s leading T20i bowler, the Afghan spinner starts this tournament on the back of taking his 300th T20 wicket at the CPL.
- Bhuvneshwar Kumar: The paceman could be key with the ball as Sunrisers look to keep things tight on a good batting wicket.

- Aaron Finch: A big acquisition, the Australia captain was in good form against England last time out to prove he is ready to fire.
