Match Details:

The Eliminator match of the Indian T20 League 2020 will be played between Hyderabad and Bangalore at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.

This game is scheduled to start at 07:30 PM IST (06:00 PM local time) (02:00 PM UTC). The game will be telecasted on the Star Sports Network (Available in English, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Bengali). Also, live streaming will be available on Disney+ Hotstar VIP.

Preview:

After ending the league stages, placed at the 3rd and 4th spot in the points table respectively, Hyderabad and Bangalore will be locking horns with each other in Eliminator of the league. This match holds the utmost importance for both these teams, as the winner of this game would go on to play the 2nd Qualifier, while the one losing the match will be knocked out of the tournament.

Hyderabad would be riding high on confidence as coming into this match, they managed to defeat the table toppers, Mumbai by a whopping 10-wicket margin. But, Virat Kohli’s men would be lacking in this area as they suffered a loss in their last match of the league stage and were able to make it into the playoffs only because of their net run rate.

In their last two encounters, these two teams are tied at one win each. So, while it is difficult to pick a clear favourite in this match, it would not be wrong to say that Hyderabad does hold a little edge over their competitors. But, everything would come down to which team handles the pressure of elimination better.
