Sunrisers would have to win this match by a huge margin if they are to stand any chance of qualifying for the last-four stage, provided Trinidad and Tobago win against Titans and then lose to Chennai Super Kings in their last group match.
Brisbane Heat, on the other hand, are already out of contention with not a single win from three matches. No combination of results will help Brisbane Heats make the semis, who would look to spoil Sunrisers' party and end their miserable campaign with a consolation win.
They started their campaign after qualifying for the main draw of the Champions League with a spirited performance against Trinidad and Tobago in their tournament-opener before losing the plot against Chennai Super Kings and Titans.
Sunrisers suffered a crushing eight-wicket defeat against the South African side Titans in Ranchi last night.
Sunrisers' bowling department, which was known to be one of their biggest strengths, has let them down heavily with the likes of Dale Steyn, Ishant Sharma and leg-spinner Amit Mishra failing to fire in unison.
The bowlers would be keen to make quick amends ahead of the important tie.
The Sunrisers undoubtedly would rely on their explosive skipper Shikhar Dhawan, besides opener Parthiv Patel to provide them a solid platform as had been the case against CSK and Titans.
