Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru, IPL 2024 Match 41 Toss: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) won the toss, and skipper Faf du Plessis opted to bat against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in their second meeting of IPL 2024, in Hyderabad on Thursday.

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru, IPL 2024 Match 41 preview: All eyes will be on Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and whether they can finally breach the 300-barrier for the first time in IPL history or not when they host Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Thursday.
The Pat Cummins-led ‘Orange Army’ have been in solid form in the 17th season of the IPL after finding themselves in the bottom half of the table in the last three seasons, finishing with the wooden spoon in 2021 and 2023. After starting the season with a narrow defeat against Kolkata Knight Riders, the Sunrisers have won five out of six matches and are among the early contenders for the playoffs.
A win for Hyderabad will help them move past KKR to the second spot on the points table.
RCB, meanwhile, are on the verge of bowing out of the playoffs race after losing seven out of eight games this season — their only victory coming against Punjab Kings at home. Though they will likely remain mathematically alive, a defeat on Thursday will practically end their hopes of sneaking through to the knockouts.
Teams:
Sunrisers Hyderabad: Abhishek Sharma, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen(w), Nitish Reddy, Abdul Samad, Shahbaz Ahmed, Pat Cummins(c), Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jaydev Unadkat, Mayank Markande, T Natarajan
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis(c), Will Jacks, Rajat Patidar, Cameron Green, Dinesh Karthik(w), Mahipal Lomror, Karn Sharma, Lockie Ferguson, Mohammed Siraj, Yash Dayal.
