IPL 2019, Match 54 – RCB vs SRH: Fantasy Cricket Tips – Playing XI, Pitch Report And Injury Update

The Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) following their Super Over defeat against the Mumbai Indians (MI) now find themselves in a do-or-die scenario in their next match versus the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). The Sunrisers are devoid of two of their stalwarts in Jonny Bairstow and David Warner, but their middle order, comprising of the likes of Manish Pandey, has started to step up and deliver the goods.

One thing that’s in SRH’s favor is their Net Run Rate of +0.653 which is currently the best among all the teams. Hence, another victory could well secure them a berth in the playoffs. On the contrary, the Challengers, led by Virat Kohli, have nothing but pride to play for. They have the worst NRR of -0.694 and the team needs to win big in order to not finish as the cellar dwellers after the round-robin stage.

Pitch Condition/Report:

The track in Bangalore hasn’t had much to offer for the bowlers. Batsmen have made hay and the average score here in the recent games is a testament to the nature of the strip. A high-scoring affair seems to be on the cards in the second of tomorrow’s doubleheader.
