Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in their previous match which was played at Hyderabad. They will meet again on Tuesday, and this time at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengalore. RCB will be keen to take revenge on SRH.
RCB lost to Sunrisers Hyderabad in a thriller on their last match. The match was tied, but the SRH eventually romped home with two more points, winning the super over.
Wounded RCB will be keen to take revenge on SRH. They defeated Mumbai Indians by two runs in their first IPL match at home. They will be looking forward to repeat a similar performance at home.
On the other hand, SRH is on top of the score table, winning both the matches they have played this season. They will take the field on Tuesday with all the confidence from consecutive wins and will be keen to keep the momentum.
RCB do not seem to be missing Zaheer as almost all their bowlers have done their bit. Muttiah Muralitharan, Jaydev Unadkat, Murali Karthik and Moises Henriques have picked up wickets at crucial stages of the matches. Batting, in contrast, has struggled as apart from the big-hitting Chris Gayle and Virat Kohli, the others have failed to deliver.
Tillakaratne Dilshan and Mayank Agarwal have been the significant failures in the batting line-up. Their over-dependence on Gayle was evident in the last game against Hyderabad where they could muster up only 130 compared to 156 against Mumbai Indians when the West Indian stroked an unbeaten 92. Dilshan has scores of 0 and 5 against Mumbai Indians and Hyderabad, respectively.
On the other hand, Hyderabad are on a high going into the match having tasted victories in their first two matches. They first defeated last year's laggards Pune Warriors by 22 runs in a low-scoring match and then posted a nail-biting win over RCB in the Super Over last night on their home ground.
Hyderabad skipper Kumar Sangakkara was under attack for dropping himself low in order in the last game against RCB.
Though Hyderabad's batting has not fired so far, bowling is their strength as they successfully defended small totals against Pune Warriors and the formidable batting lineup of Bangalore.
The star of the bowling attack is Dale Steyn, the number one Test bowler who has picked up four wickets so far. The South African bowled a magnificent Super Over to restrict Gayle and Kohli and take Hyderabad to victory last night.
The lanky Ishant Sharma (3 wickets), Thisara Perera (3) and spinner Amit Mishra (4), who bagged the man-of-the-match award for his 3-19 spell against Pune, have been a good foil for the South African speedster.
SRH are in good form but RCB are a balanced team. The arrival of AB de Villiers and Zaheer Khan will strengthen the team. RCB are favourite to win the match which will be played in Bangalore.
