The 41st match of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) will be played between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in Hyderabad. It was only 10 days ago that SRH slammed a record total of 287 runs against the RCB at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
This match is set to take place at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. SRH are third in the points table with five wins in seven matches and have a chance to climb to second place. On the other hand, RCB have lost six matches on the trot and to even mathematically have a chance to making it to top four, they need to win all their remaining six matches. They are rooted at the bottom of the table with only two points.
It was at this very venue, around 29 days ago, that SRH broke RCB's record of highest total in IPL history. They smashed 277 runs against Mumbai Indians and won it comfortably by 31 runs. In the next game at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, the home side won chasing a relatively modest total of 179 runs. A score around 200 certainly seems to be par and another run-fest is on the cards between two power-hitting teams.
