Monday, 15 Apr RCB vs SRH Match Prediction, Betting Odds and Tips

Key match factors – RCB vs SRH

• The track at the Chinnaswamy is expected to be a belter. Hence, teams should go for fielding first after winning the toss.
• Most of the SRH batters have been in tremendous form and RCB bowlers would not have much room for error.
• Virat Kohli needs support from the other RCB batters at the earliest. The Challengers cannot expect him to play single-handed knocks everytime.
• Glenn Maxwell has bagged 3 ducks in IPL 2024 and it goes without saying that he has to step up for RCB to climb the ladder.

Match Preview

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will lock horns in the 30th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 on Monday, April 15. The M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru will host the contest.

RCB, led by Faf du Plessis, slipped to the bottom of the points table after Delhi Capitals got the better of the Lucknow Super Giants on Friday. With 2 points and a net run rate of -1.124, the Challengers have looked completely out of sorts. Currently on a 4-match losing streak, RCB need something inspiring to pull themselves up from the slump.

They will go into the game after losing to Mumbai Indians (MI) by 7 wickets at the Wankhede Stadium. Dinesh Karthik, Rajat Patidar and du Plessis scored fifties and took them to 196. However, MI chased down the target in a hurry with 27 balls left in their innings. RCB were also unable to handle Jasprit Bumrah, who picked up a 5-wicket haul.

The Sunrisers, on the other hand, are trying to break into the top 4. They have 6 points and a net run rate of +0.344 thanks to wins in 3 out of 5 matches. They will go into the game after beating Shikhar Dhawan’s Punjab Kings (PBKS) by 2 runs.

Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma gave them an almighty scare with some lusty blows, but Jaydev Unadkat successfully defended 29 runs in the last over. The Sunrisers will fancy their chances against RCB, who have been indifferent until now.
