IPL 2021: RCB vs SRH- Head to head record, trivia, stats and squads

Match 52 of the IPL 2021 edition will see the one-time champions and the current edition's bottom-ranked side Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) lock horns with the three-time champions Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi on Wednesday evening (October 6).

The battle will see the RCB franchise start as favourites as they have already qualified for the playoffs and are looking at their dominating best. RCB are currently at the third position. The Kohli-led franchise will be eager to continue with their winning streak to ensure a top-two finish, going past MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) who are currently a spot above Bengaluru.

On the other hand, problems are aplenty for the Hyderabad line-up. The whole season has been a disastrous one for SRH with out-of-form players, changes in line-up, David Warner's sacking from captaincy followed up his omission; adding to their woes. Nonetheless, they will now like to sign off on a high with wins in their remaining two encounters. However, it will be tough for them to stop a rampant RCB franchise.
