SRH Team News & Playing 11
SRH Team News
Ahead of their must win clash against Gujarat Titans, there was one change for Sunrisers Hyderabad with New Zealand’s Glenn Philips missing out and South Africa’s Marco Jansen coming in. There are no injury worries ahead of this clash.
SRH Key Players
- Heinrich Klaasen - The South African keeper-batter has scored 326 runs across this year’s tournament at an average of 46.57 from nine innings.
- Marco Jansen - It has been an up and down campaign for the young South African all-rounder but there can be no doubting his talent with the bat and the ball.
- Bhuvneshwar Kumar - The experienced right-arm pace bowler has been the lead bowler for Sunrisers and comes into this match after taking a five-wicket haul for the second time in his IPL career.
- Mayank Markande - Markande has picked 12 wickets in 10 matches so far at an impressive economy of 7.89. We will see him picking some more on pitch which will provide some good spin.
SRH Possible Impact Player Substitutes
Anmolpreet Singh, Glenn Philips, Akeal Hosein, Mayank Dagar, Nitish Kumar Reddy
Keeper-batter Nitish Kumar Reddy is yet to make his IPL debut and could be an option in the field or when batting in this game. Dagar has made one appearance in this campaign and is a useful all-rounder.
SRH Team Form
Sunrisers Hyderabad have been beaten three of their last four games with only a win over Rajasthan Royals in this run of matches.

RCB Team News
Out went Sri Lanka international Wanindu Hasaranga and Australia’s Josh Hazlewood as Royal Challengers Bangalore freshened up their team after successive defeats. Wayne Parnell and Michael Bracewell came into the team and fully deserve to retain their places for this match.
RCB Key Players
- Faf du Plessis - The skipper has been the leading batter for a long period of the IPL 2023. He needs only three more runs to post his highest IPL runs total in a season.
- Wayne Parnell - The South African all-rounder came back into the team for the match with Rajasthan Royals and took 3-10 dismissing three of the top four batters.
- Mohammed Siraj - The India international bowler dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal with the second ball of the innings in the last match. He has been brilliant throughout this competition.
- Virat Kohli - Kohli has scored 438 runs in 12 matches so far. We are expecting another high-scoring knock from him in this match.
RCB Possible Impact Player Substitutes
Vijaykumar Vyshak, Finn Allen, Shahbaz Ahmed, Himanshu Sharma, Suyash Prabhudessai
Suyash Prabhudessai is a batting all-rounder who has hit almost 700 runs. Vijaykumar Vyshak has taken 2-37 and 2-41 from his last two innings with the ball.
RCB Team Form
Royal Challengers Bangalore had lost two matches on the bounce but will be very encouraged after their big win over Rajasthan Royals in the last game.

🏆 SRH vs RCB Prediction
Now that they have been eliminated from the tournament, we could see Sunrisers Hyderabad suddenly playing with freedom and taking their performances to a higher level but we think this is unlikely against a fully focused Royal Challengers Bangalore. When they beat Rajasthan Royals, Bangalore looked back to their best with both bat and ball and we predict they will be too strong in this game. We are backing Royal Challengers Bangalore to win.
