While Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) take on Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the Eliminator clash of IPL 2020 at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi, players likely David Warner, Virat Kohli, Devdutt Padikkal and others eye major milestones.
SRH skipper David Warner is in need of 5 sixes to complete 200 IPL sixes. The captain is back in form and could achieve this feat if he continues his scoring momentum. His teammate Wriddhiman Saha too is eyeing a milestone.
The wicketkeeper-batsman requires just 21 runs to complete 2000 IPL runs and with his current form - after replacing Jonny Bairstow as an opener - it is highly possible to achieve it.
As for the RCB players, Kings Kohli himself has a feat to achieve. The captain needs 40 runs to complete 500 runs in IPL 2020. Young-gun Devdutt Padikkal too is aiming for a similar milestone but is only 28 runs away.
AB de Villiers too is just 36 runs away to complete 500 IPL runs against SRH.
As for the clash, the stakes are pretty clear. The loser of the Eliminator is out of the tournament while the winner will take on Delhi Capitals (DC) in Qualifier 2.
Mumbai Indians (MI) have already qualified for the IPL 2020 final after beating DC by 57 runs. Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have an even 1-1 record in the league stages of IPL 2020.
Virat Kohli’s team won the first match by 10 runs while David Warner’s side registered a magnificent five-wicket win inside 15 overs in Sharjah.
