They have won seven of the 12 matches played to claim the third spot in the standings.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThey were inconsistent in the beginning but have begun to gel together as a team during the business end of the tournament.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nHyderabad will again bank on the heavy rain-scoring form of opening duo David Warner and Shikhar Dhawan. Aussie Warner has surged to the top of the highest run-maker list with 504 runs from 12 games.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe opening pair has been given sound support by Moises Henriques and Eoin Morgan in their last winning effort against fourth-placed Rajasthan Royals.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe bowling appears strong with Kiwi Trent Boult leading the charge, home-grown talents Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Praveen Kumar in tow. Henriques has also made his mark with the ball.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nTheir opponents RCB have been similarly guilty of being inconsistent, clinching just six of the 12 matches played to be pegged down at the fifth spot, just a rung below the last play-off position.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nRCB were dealt a body blow by Kings XI Punjab by beating them in a rain-hit match on Wednesday at Mohali.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nRCB will aim to quickly bounce back from the dispiriting defeat at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium at Hyderabad on Friday.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nTheir run-making process will again heavily hinge on the &quot;holy trinity&quot; of ball-bashers Chris Gayle, skipper Virat Kohli and South African AB de Villiers while World Cup&#39;s &quot;Player of the Tournament&quot; Aussie Mitchell Starc will provide firepower with the ball.<\/span><\/span><br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
