Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) got off to a fantastic start in the 2021 Indian Premier League (IPL) by beating defending champions Mumbai Indians (MI) by two wickets in Chennai. It was a nail-biter all the way down to the final ball.
The Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will face the Virat Kohli-led team at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Wednesday, April 14. The Sunrisers, on the other hand, didn’t get off to a good start in the tournament, losing by 10 runs to the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Chepauk.
They were playing catch-up after losing two early wickets in their run chase. Furthermore, the Sunrisers are yet to win a match in Chennai. On a head-to-head level, however, David Warner’s side leads RCB by 10-7.
