The weather in Bangalore is not favorable for Faf Duplessi and co. Currently, there are reports of heavy rain in Bangalore. However, the fans are hopeful that the weather will improve by night. The Hyderabad-Mumbai match will be crucial if the game is abandoned due to rain.

If Mumbai loses to Hyderabad and abandons the game due to rain, Bangalore can enter the playoffs with 15 points. But if Mumbai wins, Bangalore will suffer from rain. So the IPL League phase is sure to have an exciting ending.

Bangalore are currently one of the most in-form teams in the tournament. Players like Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell are capable of crushing any bowling line-up. Bangalore will also have the confidence of beating Sunrisers in the last match.

The bowling line-up led by Mohammad Siraj is not consistent but is putting out a better performance. Siraj is the main arrow of the team. On the other hand, Gujarat, who secured the first position in the points table, will have a practice match before the playoffs against Bangalore.
