SRH batting order is strong throughout with Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma at the top, Heinrich Klaasen and Aiden Markram in the middle order, and Abdul Samad along with skipper Pat Cummins lower down the order. Their bowling has also been largely good with Cummins leading a pace attack which comprises Natarajan and Bhvuneshwar Kumar, with Umran Malik in reserve.
As for RCB, they have been going through a horrible season with five losses in six games. They currently are at the bottom of the table with just two points to their name. Bengaluru's Virat Kohli, however, is having a sensational run with the bat, having already scored 319 runs so far.
Apart from Kohli, RCB's batting has looked lacklustre, especially with the out-of-form Glenn Maxwell. However, skipper Faf du Plessis and Rajat Patidar have scored runs in the last match, hinting at their return to form. With Dinesh Karthik going strong in the lower order, RCB would be hoping for a turnaround.

Their bowling is also something that has let RCB down more often than not. With Mohammed Siraj having a below par season and no spinner able to pose a threat, Bengaluru would bank on their batters to do the bulk of lifting during the match against SRH.
