The Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Uppal, Hyderabad will host the 41st match of the Indian Premier League 2024 (IPL 2024) between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on Thursday, April 25 becomes.
Both SRH and RCB have adopted a similar approach in IPL 2024, with their batters doing the heavy lifting to make up for their bowling deficiencies. However, only one team has managed this consistently and successfully, namely the Orange Army.
Pat Cummins’ Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are one of the most dangerous teams in IPL 2024 as their extremely aggressive batting unit can destroy any bowling line-up on any given day and they are currently placed third on the points table with 10 points in the bag.
Faf du Plessis’s Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), on the other hand, have had a very poor performance overall as they have only won one of eight games and are therefore at the bottom of the table. Mathematically, the fan favorite – RCB – is not out of the playoff race yet, but something has to change significantly for RCB to make the playoffs this time.
