IPL MATCH PREDICTION: Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bangalore, match 54
Sunrises Hyderabad will face Royal Challengers Bangalore in their next match on May 8th at Wankhede Stadium.

The Royal Challengers Bangalore, on the other side, eventually ended their losing skid against the Chennai Super Kings in the previous game. The Faf du Plessis-led side hasn't seen the best of Virat Kohli yet this season, but a strong bowling performance has kept them in contention. RCB is in fourth place in the points table with six wins in 11 games and is expected to play with the same lineup as the previous game.

Pitch report
The game between RR and KKR at the Wankhede Stadium was played on a batting-friendly pitch, as the KKR team easily chased down the goal of 153. However, because this is a day game, the track may be a little easier to bat on, and the bowlers will be feeling the heat. Despite the disadvantages of fielding first, the captain who wins the toss will seek to chase down.
