In four night games in Hyderabad so far this season, the lowest score by the team batting first – SRH, who were put in to bat on each occasion – has been 194. SRH have won each of those games, which might suggest that the best option for them will be to bat first and post a huge total. However, unlike in the match on Thursday, where CSK had no option but to go for a win, RCB will know exactly how many they need to score to secure a top-two position.
