SRH vs RCB: SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) will play Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in match 54 of the Indian Premier League (IPL). While it is a courtesy game for RCB, who have been knocked out of the tournament, SRH will be eyeing to seal their berth in the playoffs by registering a win here. The match is set to take place in Bengaluru’s fortress, the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
SRH though looks poised to enter the playoffs, they weren’t able to win their previous game against the MI. The nail-biting match went to the Super Over, where the MI handsomely won against the SRH. However, SRH has the best run rate among all other teams this season, with +0.653. In this case, even if SRH loses the match against the RCB, they would still have the chance of qualifying for the playoffs, provided Kolkata Knight Riders and Kings XI Punjab doesn’t win their next matches.
THE ALL IMPORTANT PLAYOFFS’ SPOT
However, with KKR winning against the KXIP, both SRH and KKR are now levelled with the same points at the standings and the competition has become even more stronger now. Both teams have a positive run-rate and SRH will have this in mind while playing the match against the RCB.
For RCB though, they will be playing this game for pride, after being the first team to get ousted from the tournament. They still had one last hope for qualifying, but it looks like luck isn’t in their favour in this tournament, as the game was called off due to rain. However, Virat’s men will be hoping to end their league on a positive note, by putting up a good show for one final time this year and that too in their home-ground.

TEAM COMBINATIONS
SUNRISERS HYDERABAD
SRH will look to find a sturdy replacement for David Warner and Jonny Bairstow to reinforce their opening slot. Kane Williamson & Vijay Shankar too need to find their form back and up their ante. Manish Pandey looks in good touch and will be their key batsman this game as well. For bowling, left-arm pacer Khaleel Ahmed is on fire, with consistent support coming from Sandeep Sharma, Rashid Khan and Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

Martin Guptill, Kane Williamson (C), Manish Pandey, Vijay Shankar, Mohammed Nabi, Wriddhiman Saha (WK), Rashid Khan, Yusuf Pathan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Sandeep Sharma, Khaleel Ahmed.
ROYAL CHALLENGERS BANGALORE
RCB will look to experiment with the team and try to make few changes. They might want to give chance to players like Khejroliya and Klaasen to also better assess their auction strategy for the next edition of the IPL. Also, with Marcus Stoinis no longer available for the franchise as he has returned to his national side for World Cup preparations, Colin de Grandhomme will replace Stoinis in the playing XI.
Probable Playing XI:
Parthiv Patel (WK), Virat Kohli (C), AB De Villiers, Colin de Grandhomme, Heinrich Klassen/ Khejroliya, Shivam Dube, Gurkeerat Singh Mann, Wahington Sundar, Umesh Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Navdeep Saini, Umesh Yadav.
