For the home side, Royal Challengers Bangalore are in need of a response as their IPL hopes slowly slip away from them.

A shocking outing in their last game saw them humbled in defeat as RCB were bowled out for 49, the lowest total in IPL history.

That left them wallowing at the bottom of the table and their hopes of reaching the playoffs hanging in tatters.

As for Sunrisers, they know a convincing win will see them move into second place and any other manner of victory strenghten their grip on third.
