SRH has nothing to lose while they can ruin the chances of RCB
The host team has nothing to lose from their final home game against the RCB, but they may derail Royal Challengers Bangalore’s chances.

Total Matches: 22
SHR Wins: 12
RCB Wins: 09
SRH and RCB have won two and lost three of their last five games. The Sunrisers scored the highest runs at this stadium in 2019. Guess whom they faced: RCB.
SRH’s batting performance is lacking
Since the opening pair was constantly changing, they never got off to the best starts, which put pressure on Rahul Tripathi, captain Aiden Markram, and Heinrich Klaasen. Except for Klaasen, Abdul Samad, and Glenn Phillips, the other players, Abhishek Sharma, Mayank Agarwal, and Markram, looked woefully out of date, despite Harry Brook’s century, their most expensive acquisition at Rs 13.25 crore.
RCB Looking for a win
With Faf du Plessis (631 runs) leading the Orange cap standings and Kohli (438) not far behind, the RCB batsmen are top-heavy. There is also Glenn Maxwell’s (384) presence on the team which matters.
Although the middle order is weak, they are in this position after defeating Rajasthan Royals by 112 runs, and they would like to continue their winning ways.
Pitch Report
The Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium is well known for having flat pitches that are ideal for batting. But as the match progresses, the surface starts to give the spinners a lot of support, creating a balanced battle between the bat and the ball.
