The 11th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has entered into its final stages with a couple of teams has virtually reached the playoffs stage. However, the next games will be played between the team who will be playing their first game of the season together, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in Hyderabad. While SRH has virtually reached the playoffs with 7 wins under their belt, RCB needs to win all of their remaining 5 games in order to qualify for the playoffs as they lost their last game to Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Pune.

Despite the fact that both the teams are having a contrasting journey so far in the ongoing season of IPL, there is no doubt about the fact that both the teams do have proven match-winners in their respective squads. Let us have a look at 5 such players from both the teams.

1. Tim Southee (RCB)

Tim Southee has played 3 matches for RCB in the ongoing season of the IPL and in those games, he has picked just 2 wickets but his actual importance came to the play when he fired with the bat against CSK. He amassed 36 runs off 26 balls after coming in to bat after his team was 6 down and took his team to a respectable total. He can be a crucial cog for Virat Kohli if RCB wants to qualify for the playoffs.
