Match Preview: RCB vs SRH
On Friday, May 23, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will take on Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at 7:30 PM IST at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. This venue was chosen as an alternative due to potential rain disruptions in Bengaluru. The pitch in Lucknow is known to favor slower bowlers and typically does not yield high scores, making it less suitable for high-scoring matches.

Despite their struggles, they have shown the ability to defeat some strong teams on their day. A couple of wins in the remaining matches could provide a positive end to their season.
Historical Rivalry
