RCB vs SRH Live Score: Here’s what Will Jacks said before the match

We know we haven’t quite hit the mark, we lost games where we should have done better and had a better chance of winning. We have to reset, still have 8 games and qualification is still in our hands. It’s about starting fresh, winning tonight and gaining some momentum from that. You don’t need to put that added pressure on yourself. I have been amazed by the support here in Bengaluru. Hopefully we can use the crowd support tonight. Need to start well with the bat and ball, need to make the powerplay count.

RCB vs SRH Live Score: Pitch report

“57m and 64m square boundaries respectively, 69m straight down the ground. Quite a bit of live green grass on it but it’s patchy. Some balls will zip through, some balls will skid through, particularly with the new ball. This ground has had more spin than any other venue this season. This particular surface is a quite dry and it’s cracking as well. The spinners will get consistent spin as the game goes on. Team batting second has an advantage here,” reckons Aaron Finch.

RCB vs SRH Live Score: Dinesh Karthik eyes big feat

The match against Sunrisers Hyderabad is going to be a special one for RCB wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik will aim to achieve a big T20 feat. Karthik needs 38 runs to complete 6000 T20 runs in India.

RCB vs SRH Live Score: RCB’s weak bowling

The Bengaluru bowlers have been largely unidimensional in their approach allowing batters to tackle them with ease and the match against Mumbai Indians offers a case study. For once, the RCB batters fired collectively to take them to 196, but MI hunted down the target in just 15.3 overs at the Wankhede Stadium as the visiting bowlers were quite magnanimous in offering freebies.

RCB vs SRH Live Score: RCB eye redemption

The Royal Challengers have players of repute and elite coaches with lofty pedigree but none of their plans have worked so far, evidenced by the team’s 10th place in the standings with a solitary win from six matches. The RCB’s trundling run in this IPL is directly linked to their bowlers’ ineffectiveness. They showed a distinct lack of willingness to adapt and upskill on conditions that needed a different thinking.
