Sunrisers Hyderabad will lock horns with Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL 2020 2nd Qualifier. On the one hand, RCB blew a number of chances to finish in Top 2, including the do-or-die loss to Delhi on Monday. Virat Kohli’s side should have won any of their last four to make sure they got two chances at making the final. But RCB like always did not. You can expect a lot of drama and tension in this particular game. We have given SRH vs RCB T20 prediction (Qualifier 2) at the end, so stay tuned!
David Warner’s SRH are in a very different boat. They needed to win their last three- against the Top 3 in the table no less- to even make it this far which they did. SRH signed off with an excellent win against Mumbai on Tuesday. It was one win-a-piece in the Group Stages between these two, but Hyderabad are 9-7 ahead on wins over the years.
IPL betting is making SRH slight favourites ahead of this one and with good reason. They’re the ones carrying momentum from three straight wins. They also have the most in-form players, with David Warner and Wriddhiman Saha in fine touch with the bat. Sandeep Sharma and Jason Holder have been excellent with the new ball. Rashid Khan has continued to do his magic in the middle overs.
Here are the best tips to place IPL satta ahead of the big game.
SRH vs RCB T20 Prediction: Online Satta Tips
Online Betting Tips: SRH
Everyone is making SRH favourites. All of the major betting platforms including Funbet, 10CRIC, Betway and Bet365 are going no bigger than odds of 1.8 on the Sunrisers.
Top batsman
David Warner is understandably the favourite at a best price of 3.0 with Betway. He’s the class act and the team’s top runscorer this season by exactly 150 runs. Scores of 66, 8 and an unbeaten 85 on Tuesday also help explain why he’s the man to beat.
Manish Pandey and Kane Williamson can be put in the same basket. The same best price at 5.0, also with Bet365, they’ll bat at three and four. And they won’t be without their chances should there be the early loss of a wicket. A slight concern is that they haven’t spent much time in the middle of late. But they’re class acts.
But your best bet is W. Saha. Since returning to the side’s as an opener he’s scored 87, 39 and 58. He top scored in those first two and was bitterly unlucky in the third. His 58 not out was trumped by Warner’s 85 not out. He’s playing well and scoring quickly, so go with the veteran. He’s 4.0 with 10CRIC and Funbet.
Top bowler
No surprises that Rashid Kan leads the market at 2.75 with Bet365. Not only is he their best bowler on reputation, but on numbers, as well. With 19 wickets, he’s the team’s highest wicket-taker by five. His economy rate of 5.28 is barely believable.
Sandeep Sharma and T Natarajan have both been really good throughout with 13 and 14 wickets respectively. They’ve been consistent and economical and are a big reason behind their winning run. They’re both 4.5 with 10CRIC.
But we prefer Jason Holder here at far bigger odds than Khan. The Windies Test skipper has taken exactly two wickets in each of the five matches he’s played so far. That could well be enough to win if he repeats the trick. It’s 4.5 with Bet365 that Holder wins.
Online Betting Tips: RCB
Betway and Bet365 are giving the best price on RCB at 2.0 if you think it’s Virat Kohli’s men who will prevail.
Top batsman
It’s 3.0 Virat Kohli and 3.5 AB de Villiers, so no surprises there. RCB’s two star men are always the favourites. Josh Philippe (5.0) has looked good at times without kicking on and making a big score to date.
But it may pay to go with Devdutt Padikkal. The youngster has five fifties, more than anyone else for RCB, and is the side’s top scorer with 472 runs. He’ll open of course, the best place to bat as the wickets get slower. Go with Padikkal at 4.5 with 10CRIC.
Top bowler
It’s hard to look beyond the man who has almost twice as many wickets as anyone else in the side. Yuzvendra Chahal has 20, an economy rate just over 7.0 and should enjoy himself in Abu Dhabi. It should spin. He’s 2.8 with 10CRIC.
No-one else has really impressed bar Washington Sundar. But he tends to keep things tight rather than take lots of wickets.
Online Betting Tips – Players to watch out for
Whatever happens here, the fate of this match could go down to how RCB play Rashid Khan. If they go after him and get runs, it’s game on. If they’re too defensive and cautious, he can dominate them, go for just 15 or 18 runs off four overs and then Bangalore will be struggling. Whether setting a total or chasing one, they can’t just give up runs because it’s Khan. But playing him is easier said than done.
The main reason RCB lost their last three games is because AB de Villiers didn’t get many runs. On his day he can score 50 off 25 and turn a game on its head. Part of RCB’s problem is they’re too dependent on him. But if in the mood, he can score so quickly and put so much pressure on bowlers that he other RCB batsmen become support acts. He’s that good.

It will start at the usual 7:30 PM (IST) and you can stream the match on Star Sports or Hotstar.
SRH vs RCB T20 Prediction – Qualifier 2
Our IPL match prediction is to go with slight favourites SRH to win. Better form, better balanced, more confident. More to the point, SRH look better as an all-round team. Even the captaincy is stronger, with Warner more astute than Kohli.
But don’t forget about other good opportunities elsewhere. 36-year-old Saha is playing fearless and inspired cricket and it would be no surprise if he top-scored again. He’s at a very decent price to do so.
Big Jason Holder is also a good bet. His extra pace and bounce have been invaluable on tricky pitches. Both could be crucial in this most crucial of matches.
