IPL 2024 Match 41 | SRH vs RCB | Fantasy Tips, Prediction & Preview

Sunrisers Hyderabad will face Royal Challengers Bengaluru in match 41 of IPL 2024. SRH have won five matches and lost two matches so far. They currently hold third place on the points table. Whereas, RCB have started the season slowly. They have won just one and lost seven matches so far. They are currently at the bottom of the points table. 

The Sunrisers Hyderabad are in tremendous form in this season. They have a lethal batting unit that has recorded IPL's highest total twice, breaking their own record. Pat Cummins and T Natarajan are the best performers with the ball. In the last match also, their openers gave a blistering fantastic start. Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma and Shahbaz Ahmed played magnificent innings. In bowling, T Natarajan bowled beautifully, which helped Pat Cummins' side win the game by a 67-run margin. SRH would like to continue their superb form and winning momentum. 

On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s top-order and lower-order have done a good job but middle-order batters have failed to impress. Their entire bowling unit has been helpless in IPL 2024 so far. In the previous game, after the opener went early Will Jacks and Rajat Patidar both played brilliant innings which kept the Challengers in the game till the last ball of the match. These two stitched a fantastic partnership where Challengers were having the upper hand in the game. But RCB lost four wickets at the wrong time which cost them the game. The Bengaluru-based franchise badly wants to win to gain momentum and keep its hopes alive to move to the next stage.
