Sunrisers Hyderabad v Royal Challengers Bangalore – Team News

Hyderabad have David Warner back as captain. Former captains Kane Williamson and Bhuvneshwar Kumar are still in the squad.

Jonny Bairstow and Mitchell Marsh will be fresh from the recent limited-overs series between England and Australia.

Rashid Khan, meanwhile, has his solid form in the CPL 2020 to continue. Locally, the Sunrisers have fine talent in Sandeep Sharma, Abhishek Sharma and others.

Wriddhiman Saha is particularly handy and could open the batting with Warner. He’ll also keep wicket.

The Royal Challengers have consistently had good batsmen. Again, they’ve got Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers and Aaron Finch in their ranks.

They’ve looked to bolster their bowling, in particular, this season. The belated inclusion of Adam Zampa is exciting, but the loss of Kane Richardson is concerning.

We’re especially keen to see how Josh Philippe performs. He was a sensation in the Big Bash League – and is a popular pick in our IPL betting tips.

Sunrisers Hyderabad v Royal Challengers Bangalore – Betting Tips and Prediction

Here are more IPL betting tips to help you make your predictions for this match. Our tips are compiled by experts, who have years of experience and have followed the IPL since 2008, when it started.

Back Bangalore to Have the Top Bowler

Bangalore have made a concerted effort to improve their bowling resources. Captain Kohli believes this is the most balanced squad they’ve had since 2016.

They’re at longer odds than Hyderabad at 1.92 with Parimatch to have the top bowler in the match, but we’re confident the new recruits can make this a winning bet.

Isuru Udana, leg-spinner Zampa, Dale Steyn, Yuzvendra Chahal, Navdeep Saini and Umesh Yadav are looking a good all-round unit.

Pick Hyderabad to Have the Highest Opening Partnership

The battle of the top of the order will be an intriguing one. The Sunrisers are priced at 1.83 by 10CRIC to have a higher opening partnership than Bangalore.

Wriddhiman Saha and David Warner will probably open the batting for Hyderabad, though Kane Williamson can also do the job.

For Bangalore, they have a good option in Parthiv Patel alongside Josh Philippe, Aaron Finch, AB de Villiers and others. Either way, it’s the Sunrisers who are better set.

Bet on Bowled to Be the First Method of Dismissal

For those looking for longer odds but an early outcome to their bet, the match’s first method of dismissal is the way to go. Caught is too short for our liking, while run-out and stumped are far too long.

Bowled at 4.74 with 22Bet is shaping up nicely. As the openers look to find their feet, the seamers and spinners could sneak one through the proverbial gate.

We’ve seen this happen time and time again in the IPL – and are confident it’ll happen here.
