IPL 2021: SRH vs RCB

Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bangalore are set to lock horns for their second league game of the season on 14 April 2021. This match would be played at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai. This is the same venue where both teams played their initial game of the tournament. RCB registered a commanding victory against Mumbai Indians in the opening match of the tournament. On the other hand, SRH faced a 10-run defeat against KKR during their first game. SRH vs RCB match was the 4th Match of the Tournament.

Both the teams played really well, I enjoyed the match a lot and was supporting my favourite team RCB. RCB had posted a decent total 149 on the scoreboard. Glenn Maxwell played some amazing shots in the game and helped the team to reach this target. SRH vs RCB clashes are always entertaining and thrilling. Last time, both the teams met at the Qualifier 2 where SRH came out as a better team. SRH had won the 2016 Indian Premiere League (IPL) finals against Royal Challengers Bangalore. SRH vs RCB was a Classic entertainer match.

I thought that RCB would loss the match because SRH’s batsman were playing extraordinary cricket till the 11 over. Manish Pandey played a slow knock of 38 runs in 39 balls. RCB’s bowling was fantastic in the match. Defending such a low- total was pick up of the match. RCB have a good start to their 2021 IPL campaign, I am predicting that this team would enter into the Play-Offs. They played like a unit after a long time. SRH, on the other hand would be disturbed with their performances. Virat Kohli is a fantastic captain and he has evolved over the Years. SRH vs RCB
