19:10 hrs IST: Hello and welcome to the live blog of the match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Virat Kohli’s team are enduring a nightmare in the 2017 Indian Premier League. They have lost two out of three home games this season. They have struggled away from the M Chinnaswamy stadium. Before this match, they were bowled out for 49 by Kolkata Knight Riders, the lowest total in the history of the tournament. A cruel irony, considering they held the highest total ever in T20s when they smashed 263/5 in 2013. With big names like Chris Gayle and AB de Villiers not firing on a consistent basis, Virat Kohli’s team has struggled for ideas.
With the captain himself getting out for a golden duck in the last match, the situation for him and RCB is now over never. A loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad will take them closer to elimination.
On the other hand, the defending IPL champions are battling an away crisis, having not won a single game away from their Uppal fortress. SRH must win this game in order to stay firmly in the top four. They have won their last three games against RCB and they will be riding the confidence as they aim to demoralise RCB in this crucial game.
