All the major stats and facts ahead of the Eliminator between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bangalore in Abu Dhabi.
Sunrisers Hyderabad will take on Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Eliminator of IPL 2020 at Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi tonight.
Sunrisers Hyderabad after a slow start gained momentum in the second half of the tournament and are now coming with three back-to-back big wins and one of them came against Bangalore. Their all-round bowling attack of Sandeep Sharma, T Natarajan, Jason Holder, Rashid Khan, and Shahbaz Nadeem has been superb from the last a few matches, and once again they have to do the job.
In the batting, David Warner and Wriddhiman Saha's opening pair is leading from the front and they also have Manish Pandey, Kane Williamson, Jason Holder, and Abdul Samad for the support.
On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bangalore who was playing well lost the momentum and form at the wrong time and have now lost each of their last four matches and they need to do something special to turn things around. Their batting has let them down and bowlers aren't doing well either.
Captain Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers these two have to score big runs and then in bowling Yuzvendra Chahal and Chris Morris have to lead.
