RCB is again on the last spot of points table, Will they be able to compete against Crowd Silencer, Pat Cummins?
Royal Challengers Bengaluru is on a loosing streak and being a cricket enthusiast, it is not easy for us to see such a great players loosing consistently even after giving their best. However, there is still problem left in the strategy portion of the team. But, to sail in the journey of IPL 2024, they have to put forward their best game each and every time. Virat Kohli is giving his best performance but alone he is not strong. The team have to work together in order to win the game.
Sunrisers Hyderabad on the other hand is very aggressive, Pat Cummins, THE CROWD SILENCER is leading his team very beautifully and strategically. Winning 3 out of 5 put them in 4 spot in the points table. If Sunrisers have to increase their chances of winning they have to work on their Top order because the middle order is still able to handle the game very well. In the IPL we have seen, death overs matters a lot. So, SRH should train their bowlers especially for death bowlers.

Team Analysis of Royal Challengers Bengaluru
Royal Challengers Bengaluru have a great batting lineup consist of Faf du Plessis, Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell, Rajat Patidar, Dinesh Karthik, and many more which help the team to score big runs. But here is the biggest loophole, whole pressure of the batting lies on the shoulders of Top order only. Virat made his first century against Rajasthan but that did not help them to survive for a longer period of time and they lost the match. RCB need to work on their middle order as well. Glenn Maxwell did not give any promising performance in this IPL and as per the latest news of IPL, He might be replaced by Cameron Green in today’s match. Rajat Patidar and Dinesh Karthik are the only promising batsmen in the middle order who have the ability to bear the pressure of target chase. But here the problem with RCB actually begins.
The main issue of their team not winning consistently lies in their bowling line up. After 29 matches, It is very evident that having a strong bowling lineup helps the team to sail smoothly in the IPL 2024. Bowling lineup RCB consist of Mohammad Siraj, Akash Deep, Alzarri Joseph, Yash Dayal, and many more but they have not give a significant performances. Other teams have figure out till now how they have to bowl in flat pitch, pitch with dew and which bowler to send on whose over. But RCB bowling department have not figured it out till now. With the support of batting lineup, they can hit big shots and give a good target to the opposition but having a bowling lineup helps you to reduce pressure on your team overall.
According to our experts, If this kind of innings will come from Mohammad Siraj, the team might drop him for T20 World Cup.

Team Analysis of Sunrisers Hyderabad
Sunrisers Hyderabad is one of those teams that has all best pieces of the game. They bought Pat Cummins for a whooping price of INR 20.50 Crore with an aim of having a better captaincy for the team. Pat Cummins also known for making the crowd silence. SRH has the best lineup consist of Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen, Traivis Head, Rahul Tripathi, Pat Cummins, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and T. Natarajan and it looks like a complete unit. This is the strength of the SRH lies in their lineup and in the same lineup we have seen the small loopholes which leads to the underline performance of the team.
The inconsistent performances from the batting lineup creates a lot of pressure on the team especially for the middle order batsmen. This is not just the case with the batting lineup but also with the bowling lineup. Pat Cummins who has a world class stats in the international format but in the IPL 2024 we have not seen a 3 wicket haul from him. Daniel Vettori , coach of the SRH needs to improve the bowling lineup of the team only then the team will be able to create more pressure on the team. Middle order batsman like Heinrich Klaasen who brought wrath on the ground should be placed at top order to give SRH a great headstart. After 29 games we have seen matches getting flipped in the death overs, So, SRH need to train their bowlers for death overs where the pressure is immensily high.
