Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will face SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) in their penultimate Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 game. RCB has 12 points from as many games but needs to win both games to have a chance at qualifying for the next round. SRH has nothing to play for and has lost their last two matches.
RCB needs to get to 16 points to have a chance at qualifying. Their last game is against Gujarat Titans, who have already qualified. SRH lost their last game against Gujarat Titans and has been performing poorly throughout the season.
RCB won their last game against Rajasthan Royals by a huge margin of 112 runs. However, they have been struggling with their batting throughout the season. Faf du Plessis, Virat Kohli, and Glenn Maxwell are the only consistent performers in the team.
Apart from RCB, several teams are still looking for points to qualify. Chennai Super Kings, Lucknow Super Giants, Mumbai Indians, and Punjab Kings all have a chance to qualify. RR is on the verge of being eliminated.
SRH has nothing to lose and is looking forward to the end of the season.
