Heinrich Klaasen has been SunRisers Hyderabad's top batter this season with 326 runs in 10 matches. He is striking at 172.49 with a couple of fifties to his name as well.

With Klaasen showing promise against both pace and spin, he is a top pick for your SRH vs RCB Dream11 prediction team.

Faf du Plessis is the IPL's top run-scorer this season with 631 runs in 12 matches. He is averaging 57.36 with seven fifties to show for his efforts.

Given his form and ability to score big runs, du Plessis is a must-have in your SRH vs RCB Dream11 prediction team.

Top All-rounder Pick

Michael Bracewell (9 off 9 and 2/16 in the previous game)

Michael Bracewell had a good outing in the previous game, scoring nine runs and picking up two wickets in just three overs. Bracewell is a decent player of spin and is capable of scoring quick runs in the middle overs.

With Bracewell's off-spin likely to come into play, he is a good pick for your SRH vs RCB Dream11 prediction team.

Top Bowler Pick

Mayank Markande (10 matches, 12 wickets, Average: 25.00)

Mayank Markande has been one of SunRisers Hyderabad's top performers this season, picking up 12 wickets in 10 matches. Although he has not been as impressive in the last week or so, Markande is averaging 25 with the ball.

With the conditions likely to help spin, Markande is a fine pick for your SRH vs RCB Dream11 prediction team.

SRH vs RCB match captain and vice-captain choices

Aiden Markram

Aiden Markram has had his moments in the IPL this season with 217 runs in 10 matches. Although he has been brilliant against both pace and spin over the last year or so, Markram has not been able to convert starts into big ones for the SunRisers this season.
