MATCH 6- RCB Vs SRH PREVIEW

 Well in yesterday's match we saw a horrible collapse and somewhat suffocated play by KKR in the last overs and in the same phase we saw the classic comeback of MI.

NOW we are ready to witness an another absolutely thriller piece of game between King Kohli's RCB and Pocket dynamite Warner's SRH.

Head to Head:    SRH      RCB

                                             10                  7

Records are in the favor of SRH in this south Indian derby. These two teams last time met in the eliminator of IPL 2020 where SRH defeated RCB by 6 wickets which led to an another empty season for Virat kohli and his team. RCB will surely want to payback the defeat and to take revenge from SRH.

TEAM REVIEW

SRH:   

Sunrisers lost their first match against Kolkata in the same ground of cheapauk. In previous match bhuvi was not in his prime and team also face defeat due to its tactical faults like sending Mohmmad Nabi and Vijay Shankar ahead of the pinch hitter Abdul samad and the Youngman also showed that the team needs to trust him and can bank on him in pressure situations. David warner also failed and most important thing to notice was that Manish Pandey scored a half century but it had very less impact on game as it was on slower strike rate. Sandeep Sharma was also off color. 

Positives from the last match were Abdul Samad's quick fire cameo, Rashid khan's consistent good bowling and T Natarajan's consistent Yorkers.

Challenges for this match are not so many for SRH but it also does not means that they does not have any. Their biggest concern is to manage 4 foreign players in their team as player like Kane williamson is warming bench for them. They also have to rethink about their batting order and if possible can go with afghan to afghan replacement means mujeeb in place of nabi.

IDEAL PLAYING 11:

David Warner(C), Wridhiman Saha(Wk), Manish Pandey, Jonny Bairstow, Abdul Samad, Vijay Shankar, Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mujeeb Rahman, Sandeep Sharma, T Natrajan

RCB:

                                                   

Royal challengers win their first match due to heroic of MR. 360 AB Devieliers and Harshal Patel. Their confidence will be and should be high as they defeated defending champions Mumbai Indians and started their campaign with a win. Everybody was surprised to see Maxi going ahead of ABD but in the end it worked for the team as ABD finishes the match with his classic batting performance. Yuzi was not at his best and is low in confidence but he is a good bowler so we can hope for his return in form soon. 

Positives from the last match were Maxi and ABD in form, a very good Indian bowling option harshal patel who can bowl in death for RCB and a good performance from the costly Kiwi Kyle Jamison 

Challenges for this match are yuzi's bad form which make their spin attack weak and in cheapauk spinners have a good share in the team's win. Virat also scored runs but in the end of his innings he found tough to get boundaries. Devdutt Padikal if available can replace Rajat Patidar and open with Virat. The team can also think of Mohmmad Azharuddin as a finisher. Rest team is settle for RCB.

IDEAL PLAYING 11:

Virat Kohli(C),  Devdutt Padikal, Mohmmad azharuddin, Glenn Maxwell, AB Deviliers(Wk), Washington Sundar, Dan Christian, Kyle Jamison, Harshal Patel, Mohmmad Siraj, Yuzvender Chahal

KEY BATTLES TO WATCH:

Rashid Vs Virat

Rashid vs ABD

Bhuvi vs Maxi

Yuzi vs Warner

MY PREDICTION: RCB will win the match
