Although Sunrisers lost their opening game on Sunday, they did register two half-centuries with the bat. Jonny Bairstow continued his good form in India with a 40-ball 50 and Manish Pandey top scored with an unbeaten 61 from 44 balls.
RCB got over the line in spite of none of their batsmen reaching a half-century. Virat Kohli contributed a useful 33, Glenn Maxwell 39 and AB de Villiers the gun batsmen with a 27-ball 48.
Harshal Patel's bowling stood out amongst a sea of top name bowlers in the first game. Particularly impressive was Patel’s final over in which he conceded only 1 run and took 3 other wickets. Mohammed Siraj also caught the eye for RCB, although he went wicketless, he conceded the least amount of runs of the bowlers who bowled their full four over allocation. For Sunrisers, Rashid Khan was the standout performer with the ball, taking the wickets of Shubman Gill and Andre Russell whilst conceding only 24 runs.

SRH vs RCB T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, IPL 2021
Royal Challengers Bangalore got their IPL campaign off to a winning start with a 2 wicket win in the opening game of the tournament against holders Mumbai Indians. Harshal Patel was the hero in his first game since returning to RCB after a spell with Delhi Capitals, taking 5-27 and hitting the winning run. Sunrisers Hyderabad were on the receiving end in their opening game, going down to a 10 run defeat to Kolkata Knight Riders. Read on as we preview this clash of the 2021 IPL. The match will be played at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium and will get underway at 19:30 local time.
This is a tough game to call with RCB getting off to a winning start and Sunrisers Hyderabad showing strong individual performances. Sunrisers will point to the failure of either opener to register double figures, if one of Wriddhiman Saha or David Warner had got going then the 10-run deficit could well have been different. Equally, all the Sunrisers bowlers bar Rashid Khan went at above 8 an over, if one of them can support the Afghan spinner in this game then their chances will go through the roof.
Virat Kohli’s RCB will have been delighted with their win over Mumbai Indians but will also know that there is plenty of room for improvement across the side. Their bowling was very impressive with Mohammed Siraj and Kyle Jamieson providing support for Harshal Patel. However, if one of their top batsmen can bat for longer than 30 balls then a big total will be very attainable.

In line with all the others so far in the tournament, we expect both David Warner and Virat Kohli to choose to chase if they win the toss.
Pitch Report
Although Mohammed Siraj has produced the most economical figures at the Chidambaram Stadium so far in the tournament, we expect the spinners to find the surface particularly helpful.

SRH Team News & Playing 11
SRH Team News
Sunrisers Hyderabad will be looking to bounce back from their reverse to KKR on Sunday. Although the margin of defeat was only 10 runs, this slightly flattered Sunrisers who hit a 6 through Manish Pandey from the final ball of the match when the game was gone.
SRH Key Players
David Warner - Although you can’t expect the left-handed opener to produce in every match, Sunrisers need their captain to find his touch sooner rather than later. He averaged under 40 in last year’s IPL after his previous three seasons had seen 69.20, 58.27 and 60.57. They need the return of David Warner 2019.
Jonny Bairstow - Three of his last four innings in India, combining ODIs and IPL, have contributed 273 runs. If he could have stayed at the wicket for another couple of overs against KKR then victory would surely have been Sunrisers’.
Rashid Khan - The spinner would get into any T20 team and his ability to take wickets throughout the innings is a crucial one. He picked up KKR’s opener Shubman Gill and middle-order talisman Andre Russell whilst going for a run a ball across his four overs.
SRH Team Form
Sunrisers will have been disappointed to go down against KKR after they had finished the 2020 IPL so strongly. However, the nature of the IPL means that you can bounce back rapidly from any setback and they will be looking to do the same here.
SRH Predicted Playing 11
David Warner (c) , Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Manish Pandey, Jonny Bairstow, Vijay Sankar, Abdul Samad, Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Thangarasu Natarajan, Sandeep Sharma
SRH vs RCB Dream11 Team Prediction, Captain, Vice Captain
Wicket-keeper
AB de Villiers (10), Wriddhiman Saha (8.5) and Jonny Bairstow (9) will be our wicketkeepers. Both de Villiers and Bairstow showed their quality in their first games.
Batsmen
Virat Kohli (10.5), Manish Pandey (9) and Ratish Patidar (8) are our batsmen. Pandey impressed in Sunrisers first game and you know that it won’t be long until Virat brings up a half-century
All-rounders
We’ve selected just one all-rounder, Mohammad Nabi (8.5) getting the nod after he took useful wickets and struck boundaries against KKR.
Bowlers
Rashid Khan (9.5), Bhuvneshwar Kumar (9), Harshal Patel (8.5) and Kyle Jamieson (8.5) make up our bowling attack. We await to see if Patel can repeat his heroics from the first game.
Captain/Vice-captain
Virat Kohli will be our skipper while Ab De Villiers can be backed as his deputy.
Wicket Keeper:AB de Villiers(vc), Wriddhiman Saha, Jonny Bairstow
Bowler:Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Harshal Patel, Kyle Jamieson
RCB Team News & Playing 11
RCB Team News
All that mattered was getting over the line against Mumbai Indians but Virat Kohli will undoubtedly be keen to see them finish games in a more convincing manner. Requiring 7 off the final over with a set AB de Villiers on strike, it should never have got to the final ball in the opening game of IPL 2021.
RCB Key Players
Virat Kohli - India’s captain will have been disappointed with his batting contribution of only 33 runs before falling lbw to Jasprit Bumrah. However, we still saw a run-out from him to remove Rohit Sharma, he is always in the game.
AB de Villiers - the South African power hitter picked up where he left off in previous IPL tournaments with his 48 in the first game. It won’t be long before he is contributing a half-century or bigger, that is for sure.
Kyle Jamieson - having got his debut IPL game out of the way, the Kiwi with the big price tag will be keen to build on his first showing. He delivered with the ball and provided de Villiers with the knowledge that there was a handy batsman at the other end in the closing stages of the game.
RCB Team Form
After losing their final five games including the Eliminator in last year’s IPL, RCB will be delighted to have got back to winning ways against Mumbai Indians. However, one win doesn’t mean they are suddenly the form team, they now need to back up this performance.
RCB Predicted Playing 11
Washington Sundar, Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, AB de Villiers (wk), Glenn Maxwell, Shahbaz Ahmed, Daniel Christian, Kyle Jamieson, Harshal Patel, Mohammed Siraj, Yuzvendra Chahal

Who will win SRH vs RCB IPL T20 Match?
Runs are expected from the big name openers David Warner and Virat Kohli
We are backing Warner, Bairstow and Pandey with the bat for Sunrisers Hyderabad. We think it is only a matter of time before Warner starts firing again at the top of the order for his side.
Kohli, de Villiers and Maxwell who all contributed useful runs in their victory against Mumbai Indians will be the RCB batsmen we back. All will be looking to go beyond a half-century this time around.
We are backing Khan, Kumar and Nabi to trouble the RCB batsmen. Khan was near the top of his game in the first match and the prospect of him going up another level is mouth watering.
For RCB we have gone with Patel, Jamieson and Siraj. Patel became the first bowler to take a 5 wicket haul against Mumbai Indians and his final over should be up there as one of the all time best.
We are anticipating a tight game between these two teams who we expect to both be in the shake-up for a playoff spot come the end of the group stage. Although it will be a close affair, we are backing David Warner’s side to pick up their first win and leave both teams with a victory and defeat after two games.

David Warner will be difficult to dislodge today as he would be eager to make comeback after being dismissed cheaply in the first game

Bowlers other than Rashid Khan will have to step up their game if SRH are to win this game. Though their problem is middle order as they have best bowling attack on display.

Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers in the same team plus a win in the last match have made RCB unstoppable. Nothing can stop them from winning this one!
