Hello and welcome to the coverage of the IPL match between RCB and SRH.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru will aim for a top-two finish - their first since 2016 when they face Sunrisers Hyderabad in Lucknow.

Currently second with 17 points from 12 games, RCB can seal a top-two spot with wins in their final two matches. The match, originally a home fixture, was shifted due to early monsoon rains.

RCB were in blazing form before the league paused amid the India-Pakistan military conflict, riding a four-match winning streak.
