With the ball
With the ball, the SRH are miles ahead of RCB. SRH will miss the services of Bangladesh’s Mustafizur, who is still on national duty. Nevertheless, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Ashish Nehra are literally war veterans as far as T20 cricket is concerned. SRH will most probably go for Chris Jordan instead of last year’s IPL Final hero, Ben Cutting until Mustafizur comes back because of Jordan’s ability at the death.
RCB will be heavily reliant on a couple of bowlers – Yuzvendra Chahal, who registered the third best figures by a bowler in T20 against England, and Tymal Mills, RCB’s big ticket purchase this season. They will sorely miss Mitchell Starc though.
