Royal Challengers Bangalore Playing XI: Faf du Plessis has found the perfect balance for RCB to thrive and the franchise finds itself in the top four with five wins already under its belt. Dinesh Karthik has sizzled throughout the season while Glenn Maxwell and now Du Plessis himself has chipped in with runs in what is a well-oiled machine.
In the bowling department, Mohammed Siraj is steadily getting his mojo back while Josh Hazelwood has taken off the pressure of Harshal Patel and Wanindu Hasaranga with the trio now hunting in packs.
Anuj Rawat and Virat Kohli have struggled for runs this season, but RCB are unlikely to make any changes to the team. A left-field move could see Kohli return to the top of the order while Mahipal Lomror is handed his RCB debut and slots into the middle order.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Playing XI: After a disastrous start to their campaign, Sunrisers have rallied to win four games on the bounce and will aim for a fifth on Saturday. While Washington Sundar continues to remain an injury absentee, Jagadeesha Suchith will fill in for the Indian spinner.
Rahul Tripathi, Nicholas Pooran and Aiden Markram have played their roles to perfection meaning Shashank Singh, who replaced Abdul Samad, is still waiting for a chance to showcase his skills. Abhishek Sharma has been a revelation at the top of the order while captain Kane Williamson will hope to get some runs under his belt after a lacklustre tournament so far.
The bowling has been a big positive for Sunrisers with T Natarajan in the running for the purple cap with 12 wickets in six games. Bhuvneshwar Kumar has also found form and has bowled ably at the death, with Marco Jansen also chipping in well with the ball.
