The 54th match of IPL 2022 between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bangalore will be played on Sunday, 8 May 2022 at The Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. The match will start at 03:30 PM local time.

SRH was beaten by Delhi in the most recent match. Earlier, they lost their previous match against CSK. The bowling department of SRH had lost momentum in the last two matches and they leaked more than two hundred runs in 20 overs. Marco Jansen, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, T Natarajan, Markram, Umran Malik, and Shashank Singh are the star bowlers of Hyderabad. Umran Malik had been good with the pace and speed but had failed to pick early wickets even though he leaked 48 runs in four overs in the previous match. Remember that he is the highest wicket-taker from the side of SRH. T Natarajan was the only bowler who had two wickets to his name in the previous match against Chennai while no other bowler could manage to pick any wicket. Bhuveneshwar Kumar is the other bowler who is struggling in IPL 2022. The big problem of SRH is the spin bowling department as Washington Sundar is injured and they will choose one bowler from Shreyas Gopal or Jagadeesh Suchith who is a left-arm spinner.

RCB is the unpredictable team in IPL 2022. In some matches, they were just outstanding with the batting and in some matches, they were good with the bowling. The batting order of RCB is strong and experienced and they were good in the previous match against Gujarat. Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis are opening the batting inning for RCB. Rajat Patidar, Glenn Maxwell, Dinesh Karthik, Shahbaz Ahmed, and Lomror are handling the top and middle batting orders. They performed well in the previous match where they scored 170 runs in 20 overs. RCB had good news as they start batter, Virat Kohli is back to good form and he was the highest run-scorer in the previous match with 58 runs to his name in 53 balls with the help of five boundaries and one huge six. Rajat Patidar also performed well and scored 52 runs on just 32 balls and smashed five boundaries and two huge sixes during his inning. Glenn Maxwell scored 33 runs while Lomror had 18 runs to his name.

Hyderabad had faced Bangalore in 20 matches where they had won eight while RCB had won 12 matches.
