Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bangalore have a very intense rivalry. Neither team gets on top of the other on a consistent basis. In the entire history of their contests since 2013, no team has managed to win against each other two times. For the first time, in IPL 2020, this streak might come to an end. For the third time, Royal Challengers Bangalore will be taking on Sunrisers Hyderabad but this time it will be in the Eliminator. The stakes are clear as the winner will go into Qualifier 2 while the loser gets eliminated. For Royal Challengers Bangalore, they are in the middle of a three-game losing streak and Virat Kohli knows that another loss could knock him out of the tournament.

For David Warner, the resurgence has come at the right time after a league stage that was punctuated with inconsistencies. Having beaten the top three teams convincingly to get to the playoffs, Sunrisers Hyderabad are high on momentum and aiming for a repeat of the 2016 season. Sunrisers Hyderabad are the only team to win the IPL title from the Eliminator stage and they will be desperate to sustain the momentum.
