THE LOWDOWN
SUNRISERS HYDERABAD
- Defeat at the hands of Gujarat Titans on Monday ended Sunrisers Hyderabad’s slim hopes of a play-off place, leaving them playing to avoid finishing bottom of the table in their final two games.
- With three losses in their last four IPL matches, morale is likely to be low within a squad expected to lack motivation going into this one with a top four finish now off the table.
ROYAL CHALLENGERS BANGALORE
- Royal Challengers Bangalore breathed fresh life into their campaign with a 112-run battering of Rajasthan Royals, which provided a potential season-defining boost to their net-run-rate that could make all the difference when it comes to qualifying for the play-offs.
- After scoring 171/5 batting first in Jaipur, RCB proceeded to skittle out Rajasthan for just 59, Wayne Parnell taking three wickets for the loss of just ten runs whilst all the bowlers utilised by RCB picked up at least one wicket.
THE PREDICTION
To have won in the manner that they did against Rajasthan Royals will have given RCB a huge boost going forward and sent a message out to the rest of the league. Everything clicked for them bowling wise and a similar showing here would cause Sunrisers Hyderabad serious problems. Complacency won’t be an issue for a side with so many experienced leaders among them and Royal Challengers Bangalore should make it seven wins for the season against the already eliminated SRH.
