Royal Challengers Bangalore v Sunrisers Hyderabad

31/10/20, 2pm (GMT), Sharjah

WINNER

ROYAL CHALLENGERS BANGALORE –

V

SUNRISERS HYDERABAD –

Match Preview

Kolkata Knight Riders’ defeat on Thursday means Sunrisers Hyderabad still hold hopes of qualifying for the play-offs, but are still reliant on other results.

Winning against Royal Challengers Bangalore would take them to within two points of Virat Kohli’s currently second-placed side, and really open things up.

Dropping Jonny Bairstow paid off handsomely for the Sunrisers as Wriddhiman Saha made an instant impact in his first game – though injury concerns could rule him out – but more important will be the attacking approach adopted by the top order.

RCB need one more win to secure their place in the play-offs and know that any more slip-ups after the defeat to Mumbai Indians will have them look nervously over their shoulders.

Our Prediction

David Warner to score a fifty – 11/5

With his team up against it, Warner appears to have taken it upon himself to lead the way for Sunrisers with a stunning 66 against Delhi Capitals setting the tone for an impressive win.

We expect him to blaze away in Sharjah as he looks to keep his side alive in the tournament, and a price of 1/1 for Sunrisers to make the highest Powerplay score is also a good price.
