Playing XIs

Sunrisers Hyderabad: Abhishek Sharma, Kane Williamson(c), Rahul Tripathi, Aiden Markram, Nicholas Pooran(w), Shashank Singh, Jagadeesha Suchith, Kartik Tyagi, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Umran Malik

Royal Challengers Bangalore: Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis(c), Rajat Patidar, Glenn Maxwell, Mahipal Lomror, Dinesh Karthik(w), Shahbaz Ahmed, Wanindu Hasaranga, Harshal Patel, Mohammed Siraj, Josh Hazlewood

Virat Kohli and Kane Williamson's woeful form will be in focus when Royal Challengers Bangalore and Sunrisers Hyderabad meet in a return IPL fixture.

Both Kohli and Williamson are struggling for runs this season. While the Indian has scored just 216 runs in 11 games, at an average of 21.60, the Sunrisers Hyderabad captain has 199 from 10 matches, at an average of 22.11.

After a five-match winning streak, the Sunrisers slumped to three defeats on the trot due to a variety of reasons, including injuries to their frontline bowlers. They are placed sixth on the 10-team points' table.

Sunrisers Hyderabad's main spinner Washington Sundar injured his bowling hand again, while death over specialist T Natarajan, the side's highest wicket-taker, also picked up a niggle in the loss to CSK. The duo subsequently missed the match against Delhi Capitals and the bowling unit struggled in their absence, going for over 200 runs.

It is to be seen if the two return for the game on Sunday.

Marco Jansen was dropped from the side, but Tom Moody will be tempted to bring back the South African given that he was the wrecker-in-chief against RCB last time.

Pace sensation Umran Malik was pummeled into submission by the Delhi batters and the youngster will want to work on developing some variations rather than cranking up the pace every time he is hit for runs.

Incidentally, SRH's last victory was against RCB, when they bundled out the Faf du Plessis-led side for 68 in 16.1 overs and hit up the required runs in just eight overs to win by nine wickets. The Orange Army will hope the team can fashion a similar result again.

For RCB, the bowlers did the trick against CSK. In Josh Hazlewood, Harshal Patel, Mohammed Siraj and Wanindu Hasarnaga, RCB have four match-winners, while Glenn Maxwell and Shahbaz Ahmed have also played their part well.

While the focus will be on Kohli, RCB have also power-hitters in captain Du Plessis, Maxwell, Dinesh Karthik and Shahbaaz Ahmed, who can be destructive on their day if they fire in unison.

With the winning momentum on their side the Royal Challengers will be hoping to extract sweet revenge.
