SRH vs RCB head-to-head stats and numbers you need to know before the IPL 2020 Eliminator

The Royal Challengers Bangalore will play their first IPL playoff game in four years when they take on the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL 2020 Eliminator. The Bangalore-based franchise have not won a single game in the last two weeks, and their poor form heading into the knockout phase is certainly a cause for concern.

Meanwhile, the Orange Army have a ton of momentum on their side, having defeated the Royal Challengers Bangalore, the Delhi Capitals, and the Mumbai Indians in their last three matches. It is noteworthy that all the three franchises mentioned above have qualified for the IPL 2020 playoffs.

The David Warner-led outfit will aim to register their fourth consecutive win and inch a step closer to their second IPL title. However, the Royal Challengers Bangalore are unlikely to allow them an easy win.

Over the last few years, SRH and RCB have battled in some close encounters. Here's a look at their head-to-head stats before their last meeting in IPL 2020.
