Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Sunrisers Hyderabad betting preview

Gujarat's ten-wicket thrashing of Delhi Capitals on Sunday guaranteed a place in the IPL playoffs for Royal Challengers Bengaluru this season but the Rataj Patidar-led side will have their sights set on the top two.

Bengaluru have won eight of their 12 matches in the IPL this season and are fancied to defeat Sunrisers Hyderabad, who have already been eliminated from the playoff chase.

But due to the weather in South India, this match has been moved to Lucknow so Bengaluru will not benefit from familiar surroundings on Friday.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Sunrisers Hyderabad prediction and best bet

While this will be a first trip to Lucknow of the season for Bengaluru, Sunrisers Hyderabad played at the Ekana Cricket Stadium as recently as Monday.

On that occasion they defeated Lucknow Super Giants by six wickets and they can at least treat this match as a bit of a free hit.

Sunrisers Hyderabad top runscorer tip: Sharma can star

The player markets make most appeal in this contest though, and Abhishek Sharma looks a good bet to be top scorer for Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Sharma has been a shining light in an otherwise underwhelming campaign for Sunrisers, racking up 373 runs in 11 innings.

On Monday he scored 59 in Lucknow and he could again be in for a decent total at the same venue.
