The 30th game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 will have Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) hosting the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, on the 15th of April, Monday.
RCB and SRH have locked horns for 23 matches in the IPL. Out of these 23 games, Bengaluru has won 10 whereas Sunrisers Hyderabad emerged as winners on 12 occasions. 1 match ended without any result.
At Chinnaswamy, where the ground dimensions make it difficult for the bowlers to operate and with dew coming in the night, it becomes hard for the bowlers to defend, which makes a toss a crucial factor for this encounter.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru has now lost 4 games on the trot and have just 1 solitary win in 6 games; they are now in deep trouble and the pressure on them is immense.
The only way they can compete is to outbat Hyderabad because their bowling lacks penetration as well as depth to contain Hyderabad’s batters.
Sunrisers Hyderabad, on the other hand, are now well-settled with their lineup where they have players who are well aware of the roles they have to perform, which also reflects in their position at the points table.

Akash Deep
Akash Deep who bowls with a low trajectory and is a skiddy bowler. He will have his task cut out against a Herculean lineup that just plays with the sole intention of coming up and hitting, but with the trajectory at which he operates it will be difficult to hit him through the line.
Shahbaz Ahmed
