Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bengaluru were involved in a run-fest at Chinnaswamy just a few days ago. The match resulted in the highest ever total in an IPL match with SRH scoring 287. It also became the match in which the most runs were scored while chasing in IPL as RCB registered 262 runs. A total of 549 runs were scored, which is also a record for the most runs in a T20 match. Something similar is expected when these two titans of IPL will clash at the flat ground of Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad on 25 April 2024.
SRH vs RCB, IPL 2024 Match 41: Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium Pitch Report
Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium has hosted two matches so far in IPL and both of these matches showed that the pitch is an absolute belter with lots of runs on offer. SRH blasted 277 runs against MI on this ground and chased around 160 with ease against CSK. Maximising the powerplay is going to be key and the teams should look to score at least 80 runs in the first 6 overs.
The pitch is going to be completely flat with no help for spinners. Even the pacers are going to go for runs with no assistance and consistent bounce for batters to trust the wicket and go through with their shots. The team which wins the toss should look to bat first and post about 240 runs on the board. However, RCB might need a bit more due to their bowling woes.
