Royal Challengers Bangalore will be aiming to bolster their chances of reaching this season’s Indian Premier League (IPL) playoffs when they take the field against Sunrisers Hyderabad in a do-or-die contest on Thursday.
Bangalore, thanks to their emphatic 112-run win over Rajasthan Royals, are currently enjoying a positive Net Run Rate (NRR) of 0.166. With 12 points from as many games, Bangalore need to win their final two matches to keep their chances alive. In their last league game of the season, Bangalore will be up against defending champions Gujarat Titans on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Hyderabad are out of the race with just eight points to their name.
Hyderabad have so far managed to claim four wins in IPL 2023 season. They will be playing for pride during their home game against Bangalore on Thursday.

With 631 runs to his name, Bangalore skipper Faf du Plessis is the current Orange Cap holder. So, choosing him in the fantasy cricket squad is a no-brainer. Users can also appoint Du Plessis as the skipper of their side in order to score some extra points.
Glenn Maxwell’s all-round abilities can prove to be handy and naming the Australia international as the vice-captain can help users in gaining some additional points. In the bowling unit, Bangalore’s Mohammed Siraj and Hyderabad’s Bhuvneshwar Kumar can earn some key points.
