The Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bengaluru will go head-to-head for the second time in IPL 2024 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. The previous fixture between these two teams was historic with SRH breaking their record to post the highest score in IPL history - 287 in Bengaluru. Since that result, both sides have been at the opposite side of the points table with SRH cementing their spot towards the top while RCB remains at the bottom.

Pitch Report
Analysis
The Sunrisers Hyderabad have been one of the most dangerous teams in IPL 2024 with their ultra-aggressive batting approach. The SRH batting lineup comprising Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Aiden Markram and Henrich Klassen has terrorised bowlers and scored over 220 in nearly every match. But on the bowling front, Hyderabad still has a lot to do with the bowlers, barring captain Pat Cummins, not consistently performing.
In contrast, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru have seemed like the least confident side in IPL 2024 with deficiencies in each department. The batting has looked good with Virat Kohli leading the Orange Cap race while being supported by Faf du Plessis and Dinesh Karthik. But the bowling has been worst across the tournament with no bowler stepping up to either contain runs or pick up wickets at regular intervals.
