Royal Challengers Bangalore Vs Sunrises Hyderabad, It's a match-up between two South Indian Teams at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. 


RCB played 3-times in the finals but they never won any titles in these all seasons of IPL. Now This season RCB has a better opportunity to win a title with their star-studded team.

IPL's matches become more exiting ever this season than with the result of the first 2 games. CSK defeated Mumbai Indians in the opener of the IPL. The second match went to super over where Delhi Capitals beat Kings XI Punjab in the super over. 


RCB has players like Virat Kohli who is in great form for India and he will try to do the same thing for his club. AB de Villiers is the other superstar who can give win RCB single-handedly. RCB has other good foreign players like Finch and  Moeen Ali(all-rounder) who are capable of changing a result of a match on their own. 

    

Sunrises Hyderabad has Kane Williamson, Jonny Bairstow, David Warner, Manish Pandey. Kane Williams, David Warner, and Jonny Bairstow are the players who can change a result at any Moment, Especially David Warner. 


Sunrises Hyderabad has a very good mixture of fast bowling and spin bowling.

Nabi and Nadeem are the other 2 who rarely disappoints.  


RCB has not good bowling lineup as SRH. Umesh Yadav will lead the pace bowling line up meanwhile Chahal and Pawan Negi will lead the spin department. Moeen Ali is an allrounder who can give a headache to the opposition batsman with his spin bowling. 


SRH has one of the best batting lineups at the top order but they are not good in the middle order. RCB has the same problem as SRH as they don't have a strong middle order.      


It's a 50-50 to tell who will win this match: RCB or SRH. RCB has a better chance to win a game because they have an energetic captain like who will boost  RCB to play at their highest level in a game. Virat Kohli and AB Devilliers made the highest partnership for RCB against SRH in IPL and it is 157.

IPL is one of the biggest tournaments in Cricket which is played in India. It is a domestic tournament just like the English Premier League, NBA, La Liga, Serie A, NFL, etc. This tournament getting more and more popular with a shorter format of cricket all over the world. This time IPL tournament will be played in UAE due to Corona Pandemic. 


This is a format of 20 overs format and fans like it a lot. IPL making it's returned to Gulf on Saturday with the Indian Premier League. Last season Mumbai Indian was the one who lifted a trophy. defending champion Mumbai Indians will face another heavy favorite to win this year's IPL trophy Chennai Super Kings. Players from all over the world will be there who are playing for other countries but they have to follow some rules due to the bubble environment. Every sport follows these rules who are already started.


Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings have an old rivalry. There are already passed 12 years of IPL but this is the second time, It will be played outside of India. Last season Mumbai Indian won an IPL against their arch-rival Chennai Super Kings and it was just by one run. 


Mumbai Indians is the most successful team in IPL history with 4 titles meanwhile Chennai Super Kings comes after Mumbai Indians with 3 IPL titles.


Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings have faced each other 28 times in IPL and Mumbai Indians have 17 wins meanwhile Chennai Superkings won 11 games against each other. Mumbai Indians always got the upper hand in IPL. They also faced 3 times in the Final and here also Mumbai Indians lead with 2-1 finals win.  


Cricket Legend and hailed as a god of cricket by Fans, Sachin Tendulkar is giving his thaught:



Chennai Super Kings already faced a blow with their star player withdraw from IPL due to some family issues. Mumbai Indian will play without their star bowler Lasith Malinga but Mumbai Indian has another depth bowler who can fill Malinga's absence. 


Mumbai Indians have very good bowlers in a team like Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult, Mitchell McClenaghan who can give a hard time to the opposition team's batsmen. Rahul Chahar is a spinner who will be the main factor in this IPL for Mumbi Indians alongside Jasprit Bumrh and Trent Boult. 


Chennai Super Kings lacks bowling in their line up this year but they have all-rounders like Jadeja, Watson, Bravo, Santner, Kedar Jadhav, Sam Curran, and captain cool M.S.Dhoni who recently said goodbye to International Cricket. 


Imran Tahir and Ravindra Jadeja will lead Chennai Super Kings in a spin bowling department. Chennai Super Kings have a very good spinner bowling line up. 


Mumbai Indians have batsmen like Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Quinton de Kock, Blizzard, and Kieron Pollard who can turn a moment of a match on their own performance. Chennai Superkings also have players who can change the momentum of any game at any moment on their own. M.S.Dhoni, Shan Watson, Ravindra Jadeja, and Faf du Plessis are those players. 


Lungi Ngidi will shine under the captaincy of M.S.Dhoni. He is a face of South African cricket with  Rabada. 


As per the paper view, Mumbai Indians look a better team with their hard-hitting batting line up and young players. Chennai Super Kings have many all-rounders and batsmen in the team but they are now old and can't play with high energy. So Mumbai Indians have a better chance to win this game.
