Royal Challengers Bangalore, who defeated Kings XI Punjab comfortably in the last match, will now host their neighbours and table-toppers Sunrisers Hyderabad. The Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore will host the contest between two of dynamic teams. While a loss for RCB will mean the end of the road for them, a loss for Hyderabad can dent their confidence severely after the Chennai loss.

Venue:
Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore – Average first innings score 169

Dream Team Selection:

Wicketkeeper:

Quite a one-sided choice this. Parthiv Patel opens the innings for RCB and batted well in the chances that he has received. Sreevats Goswami has batted very little.

Batsmen:

The obvious options in current form are AB De Villiers and Virat Kohli. From Sunrisers Hyderabad Dhawan, Williamson and Hales. However, this will cramp the budget severely so you may have to sacrifice one of these players. Cheaper options are Manish Pandey, Mandeep Singh and Yusuf Pathan.

All-rounders:

Shakib Al Hasan, Colin De Grandhomme and Moeen Ali are available options. Pick as your budget allows you, Moeen Ali is the least pick-worthy here.

Bowlers:

Considering the conditions at Chinnaswamy Stadium, Yuzvendra Chahal and Rashid Khan are must-picks here. By taking two all-rounders you can play four bowlers here. Pick any two from the playing XI.
