SRH vs RCB Best Players Prediction

Best Batter Prediction: Heinrich Klassen

Heinrich Klassen will be a vital member in the clash for the Sunrisers Hyderabad. The wicket-keeper batter has been excellent against the spinners. Coming at number four on most occasions, he has smashed the bowlers in all pockets of the ground from his very first delivery. In seven games, he has 284 runs this season at a strike rate of 198.52. Even against RCB during IPL 2023 in Hyderabad, he nailed 104 runs in 51 balls.

Best Bowler Prediction: Pat Cummins

Pat Cummins looks to be the peak of the bowlers for this SRH vs RCB encounter. In seven innings this IPL, he has nine wickets. During the high-scoring game against the Mumbai Indians (MI) in Hyderabad, Cummins returned with 2/35 in his four overs. Against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on the same ground, he had 1/29 in four overs. Cummins’ slow cutters and smart bowling, using the variations have made him a threat in those conditions.
