In the 34th game of the IPL 2024, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will host the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). The SRH vs RCB game will take place at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad, on April 25, 2024.
With four back-to-back wins, Hyderabad is currently in the third position with 10 points in seven games at a net run rate (NRR) of +1.206. Bengaluru has faced the exact opposite fate in the competition. They are at the bottom of the points table with just one victory in eight games. Their six successive defeats have damaged their NRR to -1.046.
SRH are coming into this affair with a huge victory by 67 runs against Delhi Capitals (DC). On the flip of the coin, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) handed RCB a one-run heartbreak at their Eden Gardens.
For the champions of the 2016 season, both their openers, Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma have been in terrific touch before the SRH vs RCB clash. Head is currently the second-highest run-getter of the tournament with 324 runs in six innings at an average of 54 and a strike rate of 216, including one century and a couple of fifties. In the bowling department, Thangarasu Natarajan is the seventh-highest wicket-taker of the competition with 10 wickets at an economy of 7.60.
Ahead of SRH vs RCB, for the Bengaluru side, Virat Kohli was at the top of the ladder of the highest run-scorers with 379 runs in eight innings at a strike rate of 150.39. He also has smashed two fifties and one century in the tournament so far.
Their concern is mainly in their bowling performances. Their highest wicket-taker, Yash Dayal stands at the 24th position of the event. The left-arm pacer has seven wickets at an expensive economy of 9.81 in seven innings. SRH vs RCB promises to be a mouth-watering contest.
