Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will take on the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in match number 54 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday. This will be the first match of the double-header.
After five successive wins, SRH's IPL 2022 campaign has gone off-track as they have lost their last two matches. They are in sixth position in the IPL points table 2022, having registered five wins and as many losses.
RCB, on the other hand, are fourth with six wins and five losses from seven games.
In their last match, Hyderabad went down to the Delhi Capitals (DC) by 21 runs. The bowling suffered at the hands of David Warner, who smashed an unbeaten 92.
In the chase, they were held to 186 for 8. Skipper Kane Williamson’s poor run continued, which will be a massive worry for the franchise heading into Sunday’s clash.
Bangalore did well to defeat the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by 13 runs in their previous match. But it was the bowlers who once again did the job, defending a total of 173.
The form of RCB’s big three - Faf du Plessis, Virat Kohli and Glenn Maxwell - remains under the scanner.
