How do the teams stack up?
Sunrisers Hyderabad
The Sunrisers Hyderabad have a strong batting and bowling lineup this season. They have lost just 2 out of their 9 games and continue to rule the points table. If there is anything that bothers the SRH squad, it should be Shikhar Dhawan’s slow strike rate and Wriddhiman Saha’s form. Bhuvaneshwar Kumar who joined his team after the injury was quite expensive against Delhi. Sandeep Sharma and Siddharth Kaul also conceded lot of runs and they should address this concern. Rashid Khan’s impressive spell with the ball continues.
Royal Challengers Bangalore
The Royal Challengers Bangalore squad will work on their batting skills. Parthiv Patel played an impressive innings in his debut match against CSK. Brendon McCullum’s form has been inconsistent since the start of IPL 2018. Though the middle order of RCB looks strong, it perished in the last match against Chennai. The bowling unit of RCB was quite impressive at Pune. Umesh Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal have been the strengths to RCB’s bowling. The squad is likely to remain the same.
