We are set for the game to begin! The match officials have made their way out to the middle. The players of Hyderabad are in a huddle before they spread out on the field. Faf du Plessis and Anuj Rawat walk out to bat for Bangalore. Bhuvneshwar Kumar will start proceedings with the ball. Here we go...
Faf du Plessis, the skipper of Bangalore, says that it's their first game on this ground, the surface has looked pretty decent here, and the league is offering something to the bowlers as well. Mentions that it's a new ground for them, but the pitch here has looked pretty consistent in terms of batting and they have to plan accordingly. Adds that they always have to keep believing in the guys who have not been performing, but for them, it's different players stepping up in different games.
Kane Williamson the skipper of Hyderabad, says that they will bowl first. Tells that the conditions are quite humid and there might be some dew later in the evening. Informs that they are unchanged heading into this game. Adds that Washington Sundar is getting better day by day and he would be fit for their next game.
Bangalore (Unchanged Playing XI) - Anuj Rawat, Faf du Plessis (C), Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell, Suyash Prabhudessai, Shahbaz Ahmed, Dinesh Karthik (WK), Harshal Patel, Wanindu Hasaranga, Josh Hazlewood, Mohammed Siraj.
Hyderabad (Unchanged Playing XI) - Abhishek Sharma, Kane Williamson (C), Rahul Tripathi, Aiden Markram, Nicholas Pooran (WK), Shashank Singh, Jagadeesha Suchith, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Marco Jansen, T Natarajan, Umran Malik.
TOSS - Hyderabad have won the toss and they have elected to BOWL first.
There is another enthralling match going on at the moment between Kolkata and Gujarat at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy, where Kolkata require 59 more runs to win from 42 balls. With Andre Russell still at the crease, Kolkata will certainly be the favorites to win this game. You can keep switching tabs and enjoy the coverage of both games.
Hyderabad have been in red-hot form, as they have managed to win four games in a row, after suffering defeats in their first two games. They have a solid bowling attack and the likes of Umran Malik and Marco Jansen have been quite impressive with their pace and accuracy. Will Hyderabad carry on with their march and register yet another win? Or will Bangalore be able to break Hyderabad's four-game winning streak with good team performance? We shall find that shortly. Stick around for the toss and further updates.
Bangalore are coming into this clash at the back of two consecutive wins and Faf du Plessis and his troops would be eager to make it three wins in a row. They have played well as a unit and seem to have all their bases covered. The only worry for them would be the form of Virat Kohli, but the pitches at Brabourne have favoured the batters so far, and Kohli will be looking to make the most of it.
The games of the Indian T20 League are coming at a rate of knots, and we have another cracker of a game coming up, folks. Game number 36 sees a clash between Hyderabad and Bangalore at the Brabourne Stadium. Both these sides have been in good form off late and they will be keen to carry on with the winning momentum. On that note, a very warm welcome to our coverage.
