Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bangalore will be facing each other in the 54th match of IPL 2022, to be played at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Last season, SRH finished at the bottom of the points table, while RCB reached the eliminator. So far in this season, SRH has won five and lost five, while RCB has won six and lost five.

At Wankhede Stadium in IPL 2022, RCB has won both their two matches played, while SRH has lost their only match.

After both SRH and RCB had five wins in the first half of the season, both teams have been struggling so far in the second half. SRH has Abhishek Sharma at the top, along with Aiden Markram and Nicholas Pooran in the middle playing useful knocks for the team. Their captain Kane Williamson massively under performed in the season. The bowling unit, as a whole, has been struggling to get wickets in the last three games.
