In the 52nd match of IPL 2021, Sunrisers Hyderabad will face Royal Challengers Bangalore in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday. RCB defeated SRH the last time these two teams met this season. 

Royal Challengers Bangalore's top four batters have done brilliantly in the 2nd leg. Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal have given good starts, while KS Bharat has been impressive at number 3. Glenn Maxwell has been the star of the batting lineup. AB De Villiers looked good in the last match as well. 

Yuzvendra Chahal and Harshal Patel have wreaked havoc in oppositions' batting lineup consistently. Daniel Christian might sit out to make way for Tim David. 

Sunrisers Hyderabad's batting has had a disappointing season. Jason Roy will be the key at the top. Kane Williamson needs to step up his game. 

Jason Holder is the only player who's looking in good touch. Umran Malik has had an impressive IPL debut in the last game, he could be a game-changer. There is an outside chance of Sandeep Sharma replacing Bhuvneshwar Kumar for this match. 

The rivalry between the two teams is as close as it gets where SRH has won 10 out of 19 matches; one match got abandoned.
