IPL match between RCB and SRH 2024: playing XI projection and head-to-head statistics
Today’s IPL match pits Royal Challengers Bengaluru against Sunrisers Hyderabad: In Indian Premier League (IPL) match No. 30, struggling Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will square off against a much-improved Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Monday.
Despite having elite coaches with a distinguished background and well-known players, the Royal Challengers are currently in 10th position in the standings with just one win from their six games. This indicates that none of their plans have been successful thus far. With six points after five games, SRH is presently sixth in the standings.
Predicting the starting lineup for the RCB vs. SRH IPL 2024 encounter
The following is the RCB’s expected starting lineup for SRH: Mayank Dagar, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Reece Topley, Yash Dayal, Mahipal Lomror, Glenn Maxwell, Faf du Plessis (c), Virat Kohli, Will Jacks, Rajat Patidar, and Glenn Maxwell
RCB player to be aware of: Prior to their game against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Sunday, Mo Bobat, Director of Cricket of Royal Challengers Bengaluru, allayed fears over Glenn Maxwell’s fitness. In RCB’s most recent game against the Mumbai Indians, Maxwell took a blow to his thumb while fielding, but Bobat reported that the Australian all-round player had bounced back nicely. This season, Maxwell has had a poor IPL performance, managing just 32 runs at an average of 5.33 from six matches.
Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen, Abdul Samad, Shahbaz Ahmed, Pat Cummins, Jaydev Unadkat, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and Mayank Makande were the players whom the SRH expected to start for the RCB.
Players from SRH to be aware of: Travis Head has also been reliable, while two of Hyderabad’s bats, Heinrich Klaasen and Abhishek Sharma, are among the top ten run producers. However, their style of play—which has seen Klaasen (193), Abhishek (208), and Head (177) tear apart the bowling unit in the Power Play and middle-to-late overs—makes them even more dangerous than their run total.
