After starting the season with a couple of losses, Sunrisers Hyderabad made a roaring comeback for one and all to see. They won 5 games on the trot but since then, they’ve slumped into a hole once again with 3 more consecutive losses and now, in the second half of the IPL 2022 points table with only 5 wins in their 10 games this season so far. Now, they play a familiar foe in Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium in the season’s Match 54.
Why we say familiar foe because they’ve enjoyed a good rivalry with Royal Challengers Bangalore in the past, even squaring off in the IPL 2016 final which SRH won. It’s the first game of this Super Sunday double header and SRH have the edge in recent encounters, including getting an easy 9-wicket victory in the reverse fixture this year.

Numbers
- Head to head in last 5 games, Sunrisers leads 4-1.
- Kane Williamson’s strike rate so far in IPL 2022 – 96.13.
- 0/100 – Umran Malik’s returns in last two games.
Sunrisers Hyderabad
He’s been suffering with the bat has captain Kane Williamson and if history is any indicator of what he can, he may even consider dropping himself. However in the mean time, let’s address the brilliant batting display by Rahul Tripathi and Abhishek Sharma this season, both having 250+ runs this year so far. Nicholas Pooran is just hitting form and good rhythm ad keep him as an added batting option for your SRH vs BLR fantasy team.
There was a talk about Washington Sundar returning to fitness and possibly playing this game, especially since it’s against his former franchise RCB. We’ll pick him if he’s in the playing eleven but we’d really like to see Sean Abbott maintain his place in the side, given his exploits in the 2021/22 Big Bash League. Umran Malik has been expensive and wicketless in his last two games but his pace is enough to get him a place in our SRH vs BLR Dream11 team.
Royal Challengers Bangalore
He had a poor string of scores but since then, Virat Kohli and scored 58 and 30 and despite his slow strike rates in both knocks, we think he’s got some crease time and is now a more dangerous threats to his opponents in the few games left in IPL 2022. Rajat Patidar playing the aggressor in the middle order means more freedom for someone like Glenn Maxwell who comes in to bat after him and if you have the place, we’d recommend picking both!

Wanindu Hasaranga hasn’t been able to justify his price tag yet in IPL 2022 but after two wicketless games, he’s got at least one in all of his last three games, including two 2-fers as well. We’re adding him in our MyFab11 (sign-up with code “READAD46“) SRH vs BLR fantasy team and since none of their bowling options have been sensation this season, we’re going with all-rounder and part-time spinner, Shahbaz Ahmed.
