Hyderabad vs Bangalore on May 8

Sunrisers Hyderabad is all set to take on the Royal Challengers Bangalore in their next encounter at the Wankhede Stadium on 8th May. The Kane Williamson-led side has faced three straight defeats in a row and they will be looking to get their campaign back on track soon. The side is currently at the sixth position in the points table with five wins in ten games and they are likely to bring back T Natarajan into the playing XI for Kartik Tyagi. On the other hand, the Royal Challengers Bangalore finally managed to end their losing streak in the previous game against the Chennai Super Kings. The Faf du Plessis-led side hasn’t seen the best of Virat Kohli yet this year, but a good bowling display has ensured that they still pick up points. With six wins in 11 games, RCB is currently at the fourth position in the points table and is likely to stick with the same playing XI from the previous game.

Best economical pick– Josh Hazlewood has been the standout seamer for the RCB this season without a doubt and he has been accurate with his lengths and lines with the new ball as well as in the death overs. The right-arm seamer had figures of 1 for 19 in his four overs in the last game against CSK and such is the impact he can create for his side. He will be looking to continue his good form so far in the tournament.

Top captains & vice captains – Aiden Markram is the second leading run-scorer for SRH this season. He has scored 305 runs in 10 matches at an average of 76.25 and a strike rate of 151.74 including 3 half-centuries. Markram made 42 runs off 25 deliveries in the last game against Delhi Capitals. Faf du Plessis is the leading run-scorer for RCB this season. He has made 316 runs in 11 matches at an average of 28.72 and a strike rate of 130.04. He would be expected to provide a fiery start to the team.

Smart pick – Glenn Maxwell has had a quiet season so far after starting with a bang and he is yet to unleash his full potential in the tournament this year. The Australian all-rounder has scored 160 runs in eight games so far this season and he will be looking to add some more to his tally in the upcoming fixture. Maxwell has been providing breakthroughs with the ball as well regularly and hence he will be a vital cog in the lineup.

Cautious Pick – Mohammed Siraj has failed to pick wickets in 3 of the last 5 games and hence, is one player whom you can leave out of your fantasy team for this match.

My XI – Aiden Markram (Captain), Faf du Plessis (Vice-Captain), Josh Hazlewood, Glenn Maxwell, Rahul Tripathi, Umran Malik, B Kumar, Nicholas Pooran, Dinesh Karthik,Wanindu Hasaranga, Abhisek Sharma
