SRH vs RCB IPL 2024 Live Score: Sunrisers Hyderabad lock horns with Royal Challengers Bengaluru

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru IPL 2024 Live Score: This season has seen unprecedented excitement when it comes to the Sunrisers Hyderabad matches due to their blistering batting performances. With big hitters like Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma and Henreich Klaasen in their midst, Hyderabad under Pat Cummins have already broken the record for the highest IPL total in history, twice and fans are waiting with bated breaths to see if they can cross the magic figures of 300.

On Thursday, Hyderabad will take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru, the team against which they had made the highest IPL score in history- 287- the last time these two locked horns. With Bengaluru’s bowling attack a suspect this season, this return fixture might be the one where SRH touches 300.

How Pat Cummins turned Sunrisers Hyderabad from laggards in 2023 to title contenders in 2024

In 2023 Sunrisers Hyderabad won only four games in the entirety of the campaign but this season, they have already won five from eight games and are contenders not only to end up in the top four but if things fall in place, their second trophy after 2016 under Pat Cummins.
