Preview
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Royal Challengers
Bangalore (RCB) will face-off against each other in the eliminator of the IPL Fantasy Cricket 2020 on Friday.
The David Warner-led side has turned around their campaign magnificently
winning their last three matches against RCB, MI and DC. After being last on
the points table for a brief period, the team ended on the third spot thanks to
their brilliant form in all aspects of the game.
RCB, on the other hand, have lost all the momentum
they gathered in the first half of the IPL 2020. Virat Kohli and his men are
coming off four consecutive losses. But the team possesses superstar cricketers
and they know how to make a comeback. Also, the must-win game will bring the
best out of them and it is expected to be cracker of a game between SRH and
RCB.
SRH vs RCB Weather Report for IPL Eliminator
The skies will be clear at 6 PM local time and there
is no chance of rain. It will become a bit cloudy at 9 PM local time but that
wouldn’t worry the teams and the umpires as well. The temperature will hover in
the range of 28-30 Degree Celsius.
Pitch Report
Win the toss and bowl first. This should be the mantra
for both the teams in Abu Dhabi on Friday. The surface has held on nicely with
the batsmen enjoying their stay in the middle. However, the scores of 185 and
195 have been chased down easily. RCB had also restricted KKR to 84 in one of
the earlier games when their pacers did a great job.
