IPL 2021: Manvinder Bisla predicts RCB to win the game against SRH

The sixth match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) is currently in progress in Chennai. The SRH skipper David Warner won the toss and opted to field first which has been the general trend so far this season despite teams batting first winning the match on a couple of occasions.

SRH have a decent record against RCB in terms of the Head to Head battle in the history of IPL. However, former KKR cricketer and the CricTracker expert Manvinder Bisla reckons that the Virat Kohli-led side will pull one back on David Warner and his men in this encounter to register their second consecutive win of the season.

While speaking in CricTracker’s live show ‘In The Air’, Bisla felt that RCB have done well to plug their weaknesses from the previous seasons this time around and are looking balanced as well. When asked to predict the winner in the pre-match show, Bisla said, “I would like to go with Bangalore as their is looking complete. They didn’t have an explosive player at five or six last season but AB de Villiers is batting at five this year.

“It is a mixture of youngsters and experienced players in the team. Their bowling attack is also looking good. They have three quality spinners in Washington Sundar, Shahbaz Ahmed, and Yuzvendra Chahal. The likes of Siraj and Jamieson make their attack look brilliant. So I am predicting for RCB to win this match.”

Padikkal back for RCB; SRH pick Jason Holder

Meanwhile, both RCB and SRH teams made changes to their side. While Virat Kohli confirmed Padikkal’s return after missing out on the opening game due to lack of practice and fitness, the Orange Army left out Sandeep Sharma and Mohammad Nabi from the previous game. Shahbaz Nadeem made it to the line-up and Jason Holder replaced Nabi who got hit on the neck and is a bit stiff according to the commentators.
