The Sunrisers Hyderabad took on the Delhi Capitals in their most recent match that was played in Delhi. The Capitals won the toss and sent the Sunrisers in to bat first, which resulted in the Sunrisers making a flying start and they were on 125 runs for no loss by the end of the powerplay. They then began losing a few wickets, but it did not stop them from putting up an impressive total of 266/7 at the end of the 20 overs. Top batsman was Travis Head who scored 89 runs off 32 deliveries.
The Sunrisers started well with the ball in hand, picking up 2 wickets by the end of the 2nd over, but they then let their opponents get comfortable at the crease for a while and they paid the price in runs scored against them. Although they struggled to keep the run rate down, they were taking wickets frequently and, in the end, they bowled the Capitals out in the last over, winning the match by 67 runs. Top bowler was Thangarasu Natarajan who took 4 wickets for just 19 runs in his 4 over spell.
The Royal Challengers Bengaluru clashed with the Kolkata Knight Riders in their last match that took place at Eden Gardens on Sunday the 21st of April. The match started with the Royal Challengers winning the toss and electing to field first and although their bowlers picked up 3 wickets in the powerplay they allowed the Knight Riders to bat at a fast run rate and although they managed to apply the brakes a bit, their opponents reach a total of 222/6. Top bowler was Cameron Green who took 2 wickets for 35 runs in 4 overs.
The Royal Challengers made it through the powerplay losing only 2 wickets and batting at a good rate and thereafter they put their foot on the gas and by the 12th over things were looking good for them. However the wickets began to fall, and their run rate slowed down with them falling just 1 run short by the end of the 20 overs. Top batsman was Will Jacks who scored 55 off 32 balls, hitting 5 sixes.

Sunrisers Hyderabad 1.72
Royal Challengers Bengaluru 2.20
Suggested Bet: Batsman Total Sixes – Will Jacks over 0.5 at 1.60
Jacks is known as a dangerous striker with the bat in hand and it is great to see him getting some time at the crease. He got 5 sixes in his last innings and I only need him to clear the ropes once.
Suggested Bet: Sunrisers Top Bowler – Pat Cummins at 2.95
Cummins is a quality bowler who is always amongst the wickets although he hasn’t had too many big hauls in this tournament to date. I am betting that he gets amongst the wickets here.
