Good news! It has stopped raining and the covers are being removed.

There’s slight delay due to rain. Stay tuned. We’ll be back with the latest updates.

While SRH are placed at No.5, RCB are second last in the points table. Given the standings, both teams will grab each other by the collar to stay ahead in the Playoffs race. Nonetheless, RCB batting has been at its peak. With Kohli and AB de Villiers stitching 3 hundred-plus partnerships, they are brimming with confidence. Moreover, the Caribbean Marauder is back in the camp and will add more firepower to the top order. However, it’s the bowling that has failed to provide impetus. Be it with the new ball or in the death overs, RCB bowlers could not get their act together in crunch situations. For RCB to get back to winning ways, bowlers will have to sensibly apply themselves and punch well above their weight to get the better of SRH in their own habitat.

On the other hand, SRH have bowlers such as Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mustafizur Rahman in the ranks. While Bhuvneshwar has 9 wickets under his belt, Mustafizur has bagged 7 wickets. Moreover, SRH batsmen have been going all guns blazing since the start of this season.

Squad:

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH): David Warner (c), Ashish Reddy, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Bipul Sharma, Karn Sharma, KL Rahul, Naman Ojha (wk), Parvez Rasool, Ricky Bhui, Shikhar Dhawan, Siddharth Kaul,  Moises Henriques, Eoin Morgan, Kane Williamson, Trent Boult, Yuvraj Singh, Ashish Nehra, Deepak Hooda, Mustafizur Rahman, Aditya Tare (wk), Barinder Sran, Ben Cutting, Vijay Shankar, Abhimanyu Mithun, Tirumalasetti Suman

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB): Virat Kohli (c), AB de Villiers, Chris Gayle, Shane Watson, Kedar Jadav (wk), Mitchell Starc, Adam Milne, Sarfaraz Khan, Mandeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal, Harshal Patel, Stuart Binny, Kane Richardson, Samuel Badree, Travis Head, Praveen Dubey, Vikramjeet Malik, Akshay Karnewar, Iqbal Abdullah, Sachin Baby, Vikas Tokas
