Stats and Facts:

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

Head-to-head records:

Overall both the team have played a total of 13 matches, Hyderabad have won 8 while Bangalore managed to win five. 

What to expect from the match:

Hyderabad would look to complete the unfinished business and seal their place in the playoffs when they clash with laggards Bangalore. 

The defeat against Mumbai via Super Over must be hurting but they need to shrug it off and add two points to take their tally to 14, good enough to stay in top-4.  

Despite their defeat against Mumbai on Thursday night, Hyderabad's net run rate is +0.653, which is superior to others in contention for the playoffs. 

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

In the absence of their batting mainstay David Warner, young Manish Pandey (71 off 47 balls) shouldered the responsibility pretty well in the last match against Mumbai as he pushed the match into the super over after he carted Hardik Pandya for a last-ball six to bring scores level.
