Preview:
Sanju Samson’s team soared into the Top 3 with a 9-wicket victory over the Kolkata Knight Riders. They annihilated the KKR bowling attack in a one-sided contest, winning with nearly seven overs to spare. The team hopes to maintain its momentum in this game and advance to the next round.
Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal have been in fantastic form and will look to get the game off to a good start. Samson has performed admirably in the middle order and will look to add quick runs alongside Joe Root and Dhruv Jurel. Shimron Hetmyer, who bats in the lower middle order, adds firepower to this lineup and will look to add runs with Ravichandran Ashwin.
Trent Boult and Sandeep Sharma bowled well in the previous game, and they will be looking to exploit the RCB opening pair, who have been in good form. Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal have been on a roll and will look to keep the pressure on in the middle overs. Joe Root, Obed McCoy, and KM Asif round out the team’s bowling attack.
Full Squad:
Sanju Samson (c), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shimron Hetmyer, Devdutt Padikkal, Jos Buttler, Dhruv Jurel, Riyan Parag, Sandeep Sharma, Trent Boult, Obed McCoy, Navdeep Saini, Kuldeep Sen, Kuldip Yadav, R Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal, KC Cariappa, Jason Holder, Donovan Ferreira, Kunal Rathore, Adam Zampa, KM Asif, Murugan Ashwin, Akash Vashisht, Abdul P A, Joe Root

Players to watch out for:
Yashasvi Jaiswal
Despite scoring 575 runs in IPL 2023, Yashasvi Jaiswal trails Faf du Plessis by one run in the Orange Cap race. In this match, both teams will be looking to outscore the other.
Sanju Samson
The 28-year-old keeper-batter-skipper maintained his excellent form with 48* against the Kolkata Knight Riders. He has not hit 114 runs in his last two innings without being relieved.
Yuzvendra Chahal
The spinner was the tournament’s top wicket taker last year, dismissing Venkatesh Iyer, Nitish Rana, Rinku Singh, and Shardul Thakur in the final game.
Possible Playing XI:
Sanju Samson (c & wk), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler, Joe Root, Dhruv Jurel, Shimron Hetmyer, Ravichandran Ashwin, Trent Boult, Sandeep Sharma, KM Asif, Yuzvendra Chahal, Obed McCoy (Impact Player)
Royal Challengers Bangalore (Match Odds – 2.00):
Preview:
Faf du Plessis’ team was defeated by the Mumbai Indians by six wickets in their most recent game. The top order performed admirably, the middle order faltered, and the bowling attack failed miserably. It’s a must-win game for the team as they face the strongest batting lineup this season. To win this game, the Royal Challengers captain will need his middle order and bowling attack to perform admirably.
Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli have performed admirably at the top, and this duo will require another electrifying partnership. Glenn Maxwell has been the side’s lone middle-order performer, and he will need to form partnerships with Mahipal Lomror and Anuj Rawat. The lower order has struggled, and they require runs from Dinesh Karthik, Kedar Jadhav, and Wanindu Hasaranga.
This season, the bowling attack has struggled. All eyes will be on Mohammad Siraj and Josh Hazelwood, who must strike early blows against the RR Top 3 bowling attack. Hasaranga will benefit from this wicket and must perform well in the middle overs. Vijaykumar Vyshak and Harshal Patel are expected to cast powerful spells.
Full Squad:
Faf du Plessis (c), Virat Kohli, Suyash Prabhudessai, Rajat Patidar, Dinesh Karthik, Anuj Rawat, Finn Allen, Glenn Maxwell, Wanindu Hasaranga, Shahbaz Ahmed, Harshal Patel, David Willey, Karn Sharma, Mahipal Lomror, Mohammed Siraj, Josh Hazlewood, Siddarth Kaul, Akash Deep, Reece Topley, Himanshu Sharma, Michael Bracewell, Manoj Bhandage, Rajan Kumar, Avinash Singh, Sonu Yadav

Wanindu Hasaranga
The Sri Lankan spinner took the wickets of both Mumbai Indians openers. In the previous game, Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan batted.
Possible Playing XI:
Faf du Plessis (c), Virat Kohli, Anuj Rawat, Glenn Maxwell, Mahipal Lomror, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Wanindu Hasaranga, Harshal Patel, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Mohammed Siraj, Josh Hazlewood, Kedar Yadav (Impact Player)
