Sunrisers are done for the season and only have their pride to play for. They are currently last on the points table and will be hoping to play spoilsport here. Beating Bangalore for starters will make things very interesting. For Bangalore, a win here is crucial as it allows them to remain with the chance of getting to 16 points. A loss though allows both the Chennai Super Kings and Lucknow Super Giants to go through leaving the others to fight for one spot.

SRH vs RCB Key Players

Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been Hyderabad’s one bright spot this season. His bowling has been really good and he has been among the wickets, while his death bowling spells too have looked rather sharp.

Mohammad Siraj

After a dull season in 2022 Siraj has come back roaring. He is doing a really good job in the first spell, and looks very threatening as he has picked up a wicket on most occasions within the powerplay. His opening burst will be crucial to RCB who now begin their journey away from home.
