The Royal Challengers Bangalore are all set to take on the Sunrisers Hyderabad in their next encounter at the Brabourne Stadium in Match 36 of IPL 2022. Both teams are coming off a win in their previous games and RCB especially has been brilliant in recovering from tough situations. However, they would like a lot more contribution from the likes of Virat Kohli who has struggled in this season so far.

On the other hand, the Sunrisers Hyderabad produced an excellent chase in their previous game and their bowling attack looks the most destructive at the moment with all the fast bowlers coming good. The return of Washington Sundar will add to the depth of the bowling attack and the inexperienced middle-order hasn’t been tested yet due to some good bowling performances.

Probable Playing XIs for RCB vs SRH

Royal Challengers Bangalore:

Faf du Plessis (c), Anuj Rawat, Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell, Suyash Prabhudessai, Shahbaz Ahmed, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Wanindu Hasaranga, Harshal Patel, Josh Hazlewood, Mohammed Siraj.

Sunrisers Hyderabad:

Abhishek Sharma, Kane Williamson (c), Rahul Tripathi, Aiden Markram, Nicholas Pooran (wk), Shashank Singh, Jagadeesha Suchith, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Marco Jansen, Umran Malik, T Natarajan.

Pitch Report:

The previous game at the Brabourne Stadium saw a low score of 115 being chased down comfortably and it might not be the case this time around. The spinners have had some assistance from the pitch and hence, they will play a major part in dictating terms in this game. The captain that wins the toss will have no hesitations in bowling first.

Weather Report:

The Stadiums in Mumbai are notorious for the amount of effect dew has on the outcome of the game. Today’s game at Brabourne Stadium will also have to bear the brunt.

For today’s match between Bangalore and Hyderabad, the humidity during the match hours of 07:00 pm to 11:00 pm IST would remain between 51-and 62%, while the temperature will hover between 32 to 30 Degrees Celcius between 07 to 11 pm.

Stats that matter:

Shahbaz has hit 171 runs at a strike rate of 147 this season despite walking out to bat with the score at 62 for 4, thrice, and once each at 42 for 3 and 75 for 4.

Tripathi and Markram have combined to hit 242 runs at an average of 121 and a strike rate of 186 against pace this season. All other Sunrisers batters have collectively managed 344 runs at an average of 21.5 and a strike rate of 117.

With 6.1 and 6.8 respectively, both Royal Challengers and Sunrisers have the lowest run rate among all the teams in the powerplay this season.

du Plessis' record against spin this season stands much better than against pace. While he has fallen five times to the quicks, against whom he has scored at a strike rate of 121, he has taken on the slower bowlers with more pleasure, going at 149 with only two dismissals.

Batters: Kane Williamson, Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, Abhishek Sharma, Rahul Tripathi

All-rounders: Aiden Markram, Glenn Maxwell

Bowlers: Wanindu Hasaranga, Harshal Patel, T Natarajan

Washington Sundar (L) and Natarajan(Twitter)

Washington Sundar split a webbing in his right hand against Gujarat Titans, which ruled him out of Sunrisers' following two games against Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab Kings. Although coach Tom Moody had said after their win against Titans that the injury would probably take "a week or so to settle down", there has been no official word since. If Washington makes the XI against Royal Challengers, then left-arm spinner J Suchith is likely to sit out.
