One of the most awaited clashes in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 in the first week is the game between the former IPL champions Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and the star-studded Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the third match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020. There is a new vibe about the current RCB in IPL 2020 as they have made some changes in the personnel at the helm with the duo of Mike Hesson and Simon Katich joining hands with Indian skipper Virat Kohli.
The move has already seen an evident shift in the thought process of the franchise which was evident during the IPL Auction. Like RCB, the Sunrisers also have a new coach in Trevor Bayliss, with David Warner making a comeback as a captain once again. Apart from a few acquisitions, the squad is largely settled with the likes of Rashid Khan, and Jonny Bairstow set to joining SRH.

The Sunrisers will ideally fancy their chances against RCB, given the latter’s perennial worries in the bowling department. The duo of Warner and Bairstow will be recalling memorable games against RCB, especially after their rampant double-century stand in Hyderabad last year.
Let us take you all to the Probable Fantasy XI you can create with the following tips:-
Wicket-Keepers
With none of the players having much of a practice, Jonny Bairstow seems to be a better pick as he has been known for making a strong comeback and he will be much more effective on slow pitches this season. However, for RCB, AB de Villiers is expected to keep wickets as he is known for playing match-winning knocks, but in order to maintain the balance of the IPL Fantasy XI, Bairstow seems better pick.
Batsmen
David Warner, Virat Kohli, Aaron Finch, and Manish Pandey have always been the prime contenders for the fantasy cricket. Even, Kane Williamson can be added in fantasy cricket and that will depend on the balance of the squad. Apart from them, there are some useful batsmen in the line-ups as well, like Girkeerat Singh Mann, and Joshua Phillippe (if he plays).

All-rounders
There are some really reliable all-rounders in both the teams but citing the slow pitch in Dubai, Moeen Ali, Washington Sundar, and Mohammad Nabi seems to be the perfect fit. Apart from them, the good all-rounders for IPL fantasy cricket are Mitchell Marsh and Chris Morris.
Bowlers
Both the teams don’t have decent bowling line-ups but they have managed to do a decent job. Bowlers like Navdeep Saini, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Rashid Khan, and Yuzvendra Chahal become the obvious choices for the IPL Fantasy XI on the sticky track of Dubai. Apart from them, some crucial bowlers can be like, Siddharth Kaul and Adam Zampa.
