RCB's most recent game saw them lose a high-scoring contest to the SunRisers Hyderabad.

Meanwhile, the Knight Riders are comfortably placed in the 2nd spot despite suffering 2 losses out of 6. Nevertheless, the two-time champions will be concerned about their bowling unit after failing to defend 223 against the Royals, losing from a winning position.
