to unleash their powerful batting lineup on a struggling RCB in their return-leg fixture.<br \/>Having surpassed the 250-run mark three times in this IPL season, Sunrisers Hyderabad are pushing the limits of T20 batting with their aggressive approach.<br \/>A day before the match, Sunrisers Hyderabad&#8217;s social media shared a photo of Cummins shaking hands with Virat.<\/p>\n<p>While Mumbai Indians were the first to suffer from SRH&#8217;s newfound batting strength this season, RCB faced the full force of their power-hitting when the Travis Head-led batting lineup propelled the 2016 champions to the IPL&#8217;s highest-ever total of 287\/3 in Bengaluru.<br \/>SRH&#8217;s dominant performance against Delhi Capitals, which included a record 125\/0 in the powerplay, raised the possibility of breaking the 300-run mark for the first time in IPL history.<br \/>It wouldn&#8217;t be surprising if SRH managed to achieve the extraordinary against RCB&#8217;s vulnerable bowling attack, which has been struggling significantly, evidenced by their best bowler, Yash Dayal, being 24th in the overall list with seven wickets.<br \/>Sitting at the bottom of the table, RCB have conceded at least 180 runs in their last five matches, and their last two opponents scored totals exceeding 200.<br \/>Meanwhile, SRH are comfortably in third place with 10 points from seven matches.<\/div>\n<p><script>!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v,
