Indian T20 League 2024

Match 41: HYD vs BLR 

Preview 

Hyderabad (HYD) will eye another win and complete a double over Bengaluru (BLR) as they host them in match 41 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad. In the last meeting between these two sides earlier this season, HYD had registered the highest total (287)  in the history of Ind T20 League. The HYD batters have been in red hot form this season, and you could expect them to continue their bludgeoning form against a fragile BLR bowling attack. BLR suffered a agonisingly painful 1 run loss to Kolkata (KOL) in their last match, and are almost out of contention for the playoffs. 

Mathematically, BLR are still in the hunt. With just a solitary win from eight games, they will have to win all six of their remaining fixtures in order to keep their campaign alive. Of course, they’ll need other results to go their way, not to forget their net run rate will have to be better than other teams that finish the league stages on 14 points. HYD, on the other hand, are looking like a side to beat this season, winning five of their seven games played so far.

Match Prediction

HYD is in some form in this competition at the moment. They rely heavily on their batters to get the job done for them. Bowlers have done well in patches. BLR on the other hand has struggled to find feet in this tournament. Nothing has gone their way at the moment but with the quality they possess, you can never completely write them off. 

We are backing HYD to win this encounter.
