Both the teams have lost 3 consecutive games. RR had almost crossed the line but fell short against CSK. While RCB were completely thrashed by SRH in which the two openers David Warner and Johnny Bairstow got to their respective hundreds.

One common problem both the teams are facing and that obviously is their bowling department, RCB in particular. RCB would like to add an overseas fast bowler in the form of Tim Southee or Nathan Coulter Nile.

Another reason to worry for RCB is their skipper who hasn't batted to his best. RCB relies on AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli heavily. So the RCB fans would be wanting both these batsman to play to their full potential.

RR on the other hand had individuals playing to their best with Samson getting a 100 in the game against SRH, Buttler scoring 50+ against Punjab. So they would want a good collective batting performance.
