IPL2022 Match Analysis

Both the teams are quite balanced and have their own strengths and weaknesses. Let’s see who exploits each other weaknesses and utilizes their own strengths. To date, analyzing the record of both teams against each other, none of them come out as distinguished. Out of 19 matches, SRH won 10 and RCB won 9. Moreover, SRH won the IPL season in 2016 and RCB only managed to be runners-up three times till 2016. So a nail-biting competition is expected in this match as well.
After a demoralizing start of losing the first match despite giving a target of 206 to PBKS, the team, especially the bowlers, has taken that in a positive sense and limited the opponents in the next three matches at a low score hence winning. Then again get lousy and thus CSK beat them with a target of 216, though batters tried hard and reached 193 but could not manage to win. In the next two matches, it again got its form and won comfortably.
The captain Faf du Plessis played captaincy innings of 96 runs and a gap of 5 matches in which his form was lagging. He may continue this hard-hitting in this match as well. Along with him Danesh Karthik, Shahbaz and Maxwell can be dreadful. There are very positive vibes that after getting out at duck in the last match, Virat Kohli can make an outstanding comeback.

Josh Hazlewood has been taken in playing 11 in the last three matches. He performed extraordinarily in the previous two matches taking 3 and 4 wickets respectively. He is a hot favorite in this match and along with him, Hrashal Patel can be helping and to the team.

The team of SRH is coming with a streak of straight 4 wins. The way this team has come up after two initial losts, it was never expected to give a strong come back like this. Interestingly it has not batted first for a single time and in all the four wins, it has confined the opponents at the low score and then achieved the target and that too very comfortably.

The team does not have a huge fan following players, yet the presence of Abhishek Sharma and Williamson is giving a good start and in the middle Markran is lifting the team. Along with them Tripathi is an inimitable player and performs well for the team.

Natrajan has come up with exceptional abilities and has taken 12 wickets in the last 6 matches at an economy of 8.6. He can again destroy the batting lineup of the rival in the early stages. And possibilities of bowling first strongly lie with SRH not breaking their steak of winning history.
