RCB, batting first, put up 131/7 against SRH in the IPL 2020 Eliminator. Earlier, Virat Kohli promoted himself to the opening batting spot with disastrous result as the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) captain, who has generally batted at No.3 for RCB, fell only in the second over, caught down the leg-side. However, it was Jason Holder (3/25) and Sandeep Sharma (0/21) who had the better of the opening exchanges in the match. 

Aaron Finch (32) and AB de Villiers (56) attempted to resurrect the innings, but SRH kept picking regular wickets after their partnership. De Villiers held on till the death overs, getting to his fifty in the 16th over, but was dismissed by one of T Natarajan’s (2/33) yorkers at the death.Sunrisers  won the toss and elected to bowl first against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) here at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium on Friday. SRH had to win all their last three games in the league-stage to make it to the playoffs. This is  the third time that these two teams are meeting each other this season.
