A top-two finish is on offer for the Sunrisers Hyderabad and the Royal Challengers Bengaluru as the teams meet on Friday at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium. This match between the 1st-placed RCB and the 3rd-placed SRH is likely to follow the recent scoring pattern of Heinrich Klaasen and comes with our prediction of Klaasen scoring more than 28.5 runs.
Bengaluru have 18 points (W9, L4), while Hyderabad have 16 points (W8, L5). There’s an outside chance that Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Gujarat all finish with 18 points. Otherwise, RCB look likely to clinch one of the top two spots.
A five-wicket win over Chennai on Monday vaulted SRH into the playoffs. That was their seventh win in the last nine matches, while at home, they have had four wins from their last five games.
Three Hyderabad batsmen are in the top ten scorers in the season, while two of their bowlers are already in the top ten bowlers, underlining their impressive team balance.
The Royal Challengers defeated Punjab at home by 23 runs last Sunday, a third win on the trot. They are still struggling to be consistent on the road, though, as Bengaluru have a 3-3 win-loss record away from home this season. Changing that record could depend on their best performers Virat Kohli (542 runs) and Bhuvneshwar Kumar (24 wickets).
