IPL 2018: Match 51, RCB vs SRH – Sunrisers Hyderabad Predicted XI

Sunrisers Hyderabad will travel to Bangalore for the 51st match of IPL 2018. The Orange Army had already qualified for the playoff stages.

Moreover, they have also assured a top-two finish with nine wins under their bag. However, the Kane Williamson-led team will like to continue their impetus going in the season.

On the other hand, after winning their last two matches, Royal Challengers Bangalore has given themselves a fresh hope of qualifying for the playoffs.

However, they would need other results to go in their favour. If KXIP and KKR win their remaining matches, it would be the end of the road for the Virat Kohli-led team.

When these two had met early in the season, Sunrisers Hyderabad was able to win by five runs.

Here is a look at the Predicted Playing XI of the Sunrisers Hyderabad:

Shikhar Dhawan
