In the absence of their swashbuckling opener David Warner, the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)will be putting all their efforts in order to seal their place in the IPL Play-offs on Saturday when they clash with laggards Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).

The defeat against Mumbai Indians in the Super Over was utterly painful as they lost the much-needed two points. However, they possess the highest net run-rate, +0.653, which keep their chances alive.

Even if Hyderabad lose their last match, they can still reach playoffs if Kolkata Knight Riders and Kings XI Punjab don't win more than one of their last two matches.

The Hyderabad bowlers have performed well in patches and need to get their act together against Bangalore's master blasters AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli.

The visitors boast of multi-pronged attack in which Afghanistan's Rashid Khan has been the standout performer. Sandeep Sharma, Khaleel Ahmed and experienced Bhuvneshwar Kumar, along with the Afghan spin twins Rashid and Mohammed Nabi add sting to Hyderabad attack.

Bangalore will be playing for pride after their hopes of entering playoffs went up in smoke after their match against Rajasthan Royals was abandoned due to rain.
