 Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Sunrisers Hyderabad will battle for a top-two finish in their final IPL league match in Hyderabad on Friday.

RCB are currently on top of the table with 18 points and a win will confirm their place at number one. Hyderabad are third with 16 points and still have a chance to enter the top two if they beat RCB by a big margin and other results go their way.

RCB have impressed this season under captain Rajat Patidar. Virat Kohli has scored 542 runs, while bowlers Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood have led the attack well.

SRH will rely on power-hitters like Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head and Heinrich Klaasen to challenge the favourites.
