SRH vs RCB Head-to-head Stats

The Sunrisers Hyderabad and the Royal Challengers Bengaluru have played 23 matches against each other. The Sunrisers have an advantage in this face-off as they have won 13 of these games, while RCB have won 10. 

It turned out to be a record-breaking affair when these two teams last met in the 30th match of IPL 2024. SRH batted first in that game and piled up a massive total of 287 runs in their 20 overs. All the batters of the SRH team took the attack on the RCB bowlers, and the strategy paid off for them. Travis Head scored an impactful 102 off 41 balls and was the prime architect of the massive total. 

It looked like SRH would win the game one-sided. But RCB were not ready to submit early. They got a blazing start from their openers, Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli. Although they lost wickets in a flurry after the opening partnership, Dinesh Karthik was not ready to give up. He played a brilliant innings of 83 runs from 35 deliveries and kept his team in the fight. However, his efforts were not enough as RCB stopped at 262 in their 20 overs and lost the match by 25 runs.  

The aggregate of 549 runs in that game stands as the highest-ever total in a T20 game. The Royal Challengers will be looking to take revenge from the previous match and restore a bit of sanity to their campaign. On the other hand, SRH will be looking to keep their win wagon running and demolish the Challengers once more.

SRH vs RCB Fantasy Cricket Tips

Sunrisers Hyderabad Heavy Fantasy XI

• The top order of the Sunrisers Hyderabad is making life difficult for all the bowlers in the league. Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, and Heinrich Klaasen will be the safest choices for the match if the recent form is considered. Aiden Markram could be a differential choice, as he has not fired much in the tournament, and as a result, many fantasy users might ignore him. 
• Among the SRH bowlers, T Natarajan looked in great form in the last game. Besides Natrajan, Pat Cummins could be a good option to go with. 

Royal Challengers Bengaluru Heavy Fantasy XI

• Virat Kohli started off on excellent form as far as personal performances are considered. However, in the last couple of games, Kohli has not fired big. He is due for a big one, and this could be his day. Besides Kohli, Faf du Plessis and Dinesh Karthik will be the safer choices. Rajat Patidar batted brilliantly in the last game and could be the decisive choice for the fantasy contests of this game. 
• The RCB bowlers have struggled with their rhythm in IPL 2024. However, if you are looking for options in RCB bowling, then Lockie Ferguson and Vijaykumar Vyashak could be relatively safer picks. 

SRH vs RCB Winner Prediction

The Sunrisers Hyderabad are on a roll in this tournament. They are steamrolling past their opponents primarily due to their power-packed batting. Given the current bowling form of RCB, it is expected that SRH will win this game. However, RCB, at this stage, will be fighting for their prestige and might pull out a surprise result. 

SRH vs RCB Top Player Picks

Travis Head (SRH)

• IPL 2024 Stats: 324 Runs in 6 Innings
• The Aussie opener has been Sunrisers Hyderabad's biggest strength in IPL 2024. Travis Head scores his runs at a strike rate of 216 at the top, setting up the stage for the massive totals the team has posted this season. He will be the safest choice for the fantasy contests of the match.

Heinrich Klaasen (SRH)

• IPL 2024 Stats: 268 Runs in 7 Innings
• The South African middle-order batter has added to the destruction Travis Head has caused at the top. In the middle order, Klaasen has a strike rate of 198.51, which shows the kind of touch he has. Klaasen will also be one of the safer choices for this game. 

Virat Kohli (RCB)

• IPL 2024 Stats: 379 Runs in 8 Matches
• The Indian superstar is currently the highest run-scorer in the tournament. Although RCB has not reaped the benefits of his consistent form, Virat Kohli has done his job at the top. Also, in the last couple of matches, Kohli has not scored anything big, and he is due for one. So, if there is one player to pick from the RCB side, it should be Kohli. 

Dinesh Karthik (RCB)

• IPL 2024 Stats: 251 Runs in 7 Innings
• While Virat Kohli has been the prime stay of the RCB batting in the top-order, Dinesh Karthik has been their main dependence while finishing. He will also be a safe choice for the fantasy teams.
