Royal Challengers Bangalore, who were gunning to make a statement at their home ground on Tuesday after a horrendous display in the last game, must be gutted with rain gods. The match was called off without a ball being bowled due to heavy rain which meant that both the teams earned a point each. Now, it's getting difficult for the RCB as they languish at the seventh place in the points table with only two wins in 8 matches. Sunrisers Hyderabad, on the other hand, must be equally disappointed but they would still take a point with a wry smile on their face.(SCORECARD)

19:05 IST:Hello and welcome to the live blog of Royal Challengers Bangalore and Sunrisers Hyderabad in Bengaluru
On the flipside, Sunrisers Hyderabad, will look to maintain their consistency as they had pulled off four wins on a trot before losing to Rising Pune Supergiant in their previous game --largely due to single-handed effort from one and only Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Openers David Warner (235 from 7 games) and Shikhar Dhawan (282 from 7 games), who have been scoring the bulk of runs, would look to maintain their prime form. Bowling has complemented Hyderabad's batsmen with seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar (16 wickets) and young Afghanistan spinner Rashid Khan (10 wickets). Siddharth Kaul has also been decent during the death overs.
