It has been a tournament to forget both the teams as we move closer to the playoffs. Both the teams had the players to win the tournament but unfortunately did not play as a unit. While Sunrisers Hyderabad are virtually out of the tournament, Royal Challengers Bangalore have an outside chance to qualify to the next round if they win all their matches from here on which makes the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad even more important for RCB.

Here are the players who can make an impact in the match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bangalore:

Yuvraj Singh: Yuvraj Singh has been in terrific form off late and can take the match away from the opposition within a blink of an eye. His left-arm spin can also come in handy as the pitches are starting to offer some assistance to the spinners as well.

Virat Kohli: Kohli has not been at his very best in the tournament and would look to make up for his lack of form as Royal Challengers Bangalore look to stay alive in the league. There is little doubt about his ability and it is just a matter of time before he gets back his touch.

Muttiah Murlitharan: Bowling has been a area of major concern for the Royal Challengers Bangalore and Murli’s experience as a bowler will calm the nerves in the dressing room. His form with the ball in hand has been decent in the past couple of matches.

Varun Aaron: Aaron has been expensive in the last couple of matches and would look to step up to the plate in order to give his team the early breakthrough which has eluded Bangalore so far in the tournament.


Sunrisers Hyderbad:

Naman Ojha: Ojha has been striking the ball really well off late and looks to be in very good nick which will hold his team in good stead against Royal Challengers Bangalore. The wicketkeeper batsmen can take the game away from the opposition with his good striking abilities.

David Warner: Regarded as one of the dangerous players in the shortest format of the game, David Warner has the ability to take the Bangalore attack to the cleaners on his day. Warner has been in pretty good form off late and can be a match winner for any team in any format.

Dale Steyn: Steyn came back really well in the match against KKR which goes to show his character and his quality as a bowler. Steyn has the ability to run through any batting line-up and can defeat the batsmen with raw pace, let alone swing.

Karan Sharma: Karan Sharma: The young leg-spinner has been a real find in this tournament and he along with Amit Mishra has done a very good job for his team. Sharma would be looking to keep the batsman quiet which in turn has every possibility of giving him a couple wickets in this format.
