RCB have made the IPL playoffs for the first time since 2016, and they will go up against the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Eliminator on November 6 in Abu Dhabi. Interestingly, SRH got the better of the Virat Kohli-led side in the IPL 2016 final - the only time SRH have won the tournament.

‘The finish hasn’t been as planned but what’s done is done,’ says RCB head coach
A win against the Delhi Capitals on Monday would have ensured RCB a top 2 finish, but they eventually fell to a 6-wicket loss. However, SRH’s win against defending champions Mumbai Indians last night secured the Bangalore-based franchise 4th position in the IPL 2020 points table.
RCB head coach Simon Katich, though, congratulated his players for having made the IPL 2020 playoffs and urged them not to get affected by the past.
Shahbaz Ahmed was the pick of the bowlers against DC as the left-arm orthodox returned impressive figures of 2 for 26 from 4 overs. Virat Kohli and RCB would once again want him to fare well against SRH on Friday and help the team progress further.
A win in the Eliminator would see RCB lock horns with either of DC or MI in the IPL 2020 Qualifier 2, winning which would help Virat Kohli and Co. reach their 4th IPL final.
