RCB has all but made it to the playoffs despite a good tournament otherwise, the Virat Kohli-led side lost two consecutive matches and another loss could complicate its equation.

RCB also dropped Aaron Finch in its last outing and included Josh Phillippe, the move, however, did not reap desired results for the side. It would have to get its act together as the time is slipping away.

SRH, on the other hand, couldn't find a balanced combination throughout the league stage and are now on the verge of exit but win in both its remaining matches could still work in its favour considering KXIP, KKR are also sailing in the same boat.
