With a playoffs spot at stake, Royal Challengers Bangalore will look to shrug off the disappointment of back-to-back defeats when they face Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League at Sharjah on Saturday.
Virat Kohli and Co will have their work cut out as SRH will be confident after their crushing win over Delhi Capitals.

After match No 50 in the IPL, two teams are on 14 points, while four other teams can also reach that tally, leaving six teams in the hunt for three spots.
It's getting intense!
Scenarios explained: https://t.co/aTuqtAgDhy
Chennai Super Kings, who are the only ones to be out of reckoning, have spiced up the playoff race with their last-ball win over Kolkata Knight Riders on Thursday night.
Going by the current standings, RCB are better-placed at number two and they need to win one of their remaining two games – against SRH or DC – to make the cut. And even if RCB lose both their matches and stay on 14 points, they can still qualify. But for that they need favourable results from other games.
But RCB can ill afford to lose both their last two games as it will affect their NRR.
SRH, on the other hand,are in do-or-die territory. Sitting on the sixth spot...
