Sunrisers Hyderabad batting crumbled as Royal Challengers Bangalore win by 6 runs
Royal Challengers Bangalore Beat Sunrisers Hyderabad
RCB beat SRH by 6 runs in a low-scorer match and leads the points table. After winning the toss, Warner put RCB to bat first and had 2 changes in his squad. They bowled well, but their middle and lower batting order couldn't fulfil the demands and lost a close match.
RCB and SRH played an identical match to yesterday when Mumbai Indians played Kolkata Knight Riders. Mumbai set up a target of 152 runs, and Kolkata fell short by 10 runs. Almost all teams have lost more than 5 wickets in the last 5 overs in the Chepauk stadium's matches.
RCB's innings led by Glenn Maxwell, who struck his 1st half-century since 2016 while in bowling, Siraj gave a good start with his fast bowling and sending Saha back early. In middle overs, Shahbaz Ahmed bowled brilliantly and clipped three crucial wickets in succession, and in the end, Harshal Patel bowled some brave slower balls and took 2 wickets and leads the race for purple cap.
SRH's bowling department did an excellent job by restricting RCB at 149. Still, even after David Warner's fifty, SRH could not continue the momentum and kept losing wickets in quick succession after the end of the 15th over and ultimately lost the match.
