  With a playoff spot already sealed, RCB’s focus will now shift to finishing in the top two—a feat they haven’t achieved since 2016. Standing second with 17 points from 12 games, two more wins could all but guarantee that position. On the other hand, SRH, currently languishing at eighth, are out of playoff contention but will look to play spoilsport and end their campaign on a high. The contest also pits RCB’s batting depth against SRH’s inconsistent bowling attack. Both teams return to action after an extended 20-day break following a league-wide pause due to external circumstances. The stage is set for a compelling clash, with both sides having contrasting goals but equal motivation to deliver a strong performance.
