Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bangalore Prediction Preview:
Welcome to the SRH vs RCB Today Prediction curated by Kheltalk cricket experts. Sunrisers Hyderabad will be locking horns with Royal Challengers Bangalore in this IPL 2023 game.
RCB are firmly in pole position to qualify for the playoffs of the ongoing IPL 2023. Two wins in two games and the Bangalore franchise would confirm their place in the playoffs if Mumbai Indians (MI)/Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) lose one game.
On the other hand, if they lose today then both Lucknow and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) qualify for the playoffs. A lot is at stake today in this SRH vs RCB game.
SRH on the other hand, have already been eliminated from the playoff race. They can at max reach up to 12 points and end the season with two consolatory wins.
Needless to say, Aiden Markram’s men have flattered to deceive in this IPL and haven’t had the best of seasons.

SRH vs RCB Today Match Prediction, IPL 2023, Who Will Win the Match?
Royal Challengers Bangalore
RCB would be favourites on paper ahead of this SRH vs RCB game. The Bangalore franchise are coming on the back of a mind-boggling 112-run victory over Rajasthan Royals (RR) and they would be teeming with confidence.
SRH on the other hand lost to defending champions Gujarat Titans (GT) in their previous game and there is a lack of motivation and confidence in the SRH camp.
Team Update/Players Availability/Injury News
There is no injury news for this game. Virat Kohli, Faf Du Plessis, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Heinrich Klaasen would be key players to watch out for.
