RCB vs SRH Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – IPL 2024 30th Match | RCB vs SRH Dream11 Prediction Today | Bengaluru Pitch Report

On form and pedigree, one may expect Sunrisers Hyderabad to smash a massive total against a struggling attack at the batting-friendly M Chinnaswamy Stadium. That will certainly be the aim of Pat Cummins’ team as they meet struggling Royal Challengers Bengaluru who are bottom of the table.

But, the IPL has taught us over the years that form alone is not enough to decide a result. Anything can happen on the night, and RCB will be hoping their bowlers can do enough to keep the powerful SRH lineup in check as much as possible.

That being said, Faf du Plessis himself admitted the team needs to go harder with the bat given their bowling woes. Last time out, Mumbai Indians chased their 196 in just 15.3 overs, leaving Faf and RCB to scratch their heads and wonder where they go to from here.

LSG’s big loss in Kolkata pushed SRH into the top four. RCB desperately need to win to keep in touch with the playoff places, especially considering their awful net run rate of -1.124. All to play for.
