The first eliminator of this season’s Indian Premier League will be a South Indian derby between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bangalore. The winner will face Delhi Capitals in the second Qualifier. If last few matches leading to playyoffs are taken into consideration, the two teams are on the either sides of the momentum. Warner led Sunrisers have been on a winning spree while Virat’s team haven’t been at their best, losing four matches in a row.
