That's it. RCB finally win. They end their losing streak. They have beaten SRH by 35 runs.
Need 44 to win from 6 balls. Dayal will bowl the final over.
Another one bites the dust. It's Bhuveshwar Kumar who falls for 13-ball 13. Green takes his wicket. SRH- 141/8 after 16 overs. SRH need 66 runs from 24 balls.
Cummins falls. It was good while he lasted but it's been that kind of a day for SRH where batters have got starts but haven't gone on to continue. SRH skipper falls for 31 off 15. Siraj takes a catch at short third. Cameron Green gets the wicket. SRH- 124/7 after 13.1 Overs.
Cummins is leading from the front. He is playing the same way, SRH has played all through the season. He is 29* off 10 with the help of 3 sixes and a boundary as SRH are 119/6. They need 88 runs from 48 balls.
Cummins With The Bat for SRH. Can he do something special with the bat and bring the Orange Army closer?
And now Abdul Samad goes back. It's Karn Sharma the bowler who gets his second wicket. Ends up chipping it straight back to the bowler after trying to readjust post the bowler bowled a flatter length after seeing the batter step down. Samad falls for 10 off 6. SRH- 85/6 after 9.1 Overs.
Ferguson still goes for 13 off his first over. Abdul Samad with a six over long-on off the first ball of the over before a boundary off the bat of Shahbaz Ahmed. SRH- 85/5 after 9 overs.
Abdul Samad joins Shahbaz Ahmed.
Surely the match in the pocket of RCB now. Karn Sharma knocks over Nitish Kumar who tried to go for the reverse sweep but was beaten all ends up. SRH- 69/5 after 7.2 Overs.
SRH batters out in the middle are Shahbaz Ahmed and Nitish Kumar Reddy. Meanwhile, Siraj finished off the powerplay for RCB, conceding 6 runs off the sixth over. SRH- 62/4 after 6 overs.
Swapnil has struck twice in the over. First he conceded a boundary before he getting rid of Markaram, then got hit for two sixes but claimed the wicket of Klaasen who went for the big shot but ended up skying it before he was ultimately out caught. Klaasen falls for 7 off 3. SRH- 56/4 after 5 overs.
Swapnil Singh gets rid of Aiden Markram. The Protean batter looked to step out of his crease but it's a full toss that smashes his back pad and up goes the umpire's finger. SRH opt for a review but the umpire's decision will remain unchanged. SRH 3 down now. They are 41/3 after 4.2 overs.
Dayal, who had replaced Siraj, removes Abhishek. Second one goes down and it's the opener who was looking good. Abhishek has given the impetus to the innings but he has to walk back for 31 off 13. Goes for the pull but only manages to hit it up in the air. Dinesh Karthik takes the catch. SRH- 37/2 after 3.4 Overs.
Jacks gets a second over and this time perhaps the plan has backfired. SRH get 20 runs in the over. Abhishek Sharma finding 2 sixes in the over after a boundary off the first ball. As a result, SRH are 31/1 after 3 overs.
SRH's opening stand fails to make an impact this match. Travis Head falls in the first over itself. Head goes for the big one, last ball of the 1st over but Will Jacks gets this to turn away and all the batter manages is a top edge that gets caught on the off side. SRH- 3/1 after the 1st over.
So a good batting effort but will 206 be enough? Rajat Patidar scored 20-ball 50, Cameron Green remained unbeaten on 20-ball 37 while Faf du Plessis made 12-ball 25. The innings which will divide opinions will be Kohli's 43-ball 51. Unadkat finished with 3/30, T Natarajan scalped 2 for 39, Pat Cummins was the other wicket-taker at 1/55. Have they kept them down to a chasable total? RCB- 206/7 after 20 overs.
RCB finish their innings at 206/7. They have lost a wicket off the final ball. Swapnil departs. SRH need 207 to win in Hyderabad.
Swapnil Making An Impact. First-ball six and then a boundary off the next ball.
Natarajan Has The Ball In Hand for the final over. Swapnil Singh, impact sub, in for RCB.
15 Runs, 1 Wicket off the 19th over. RCB- 194/6
Cummins will bowl the 19th over of the innings. He concedes 3 boundaries as RCB look to end the innings on a high. Two off the bat of Green, one for DK. He still has deliveries left in his spell.
12 runs off the 18th over with DK getting it past the covers for a boundary off the last ball. RCB- 179/5 after 18 overs.
Natarajan Into The Attack. 18th over. Dinesh Karthik and Green in the middle for RCB at the moment.
Unadkat gets another wicket. It's a full and wide ball that Lomror looks to hit with all his might. He gets caught at deep midwicket where Cummins takes the catch. RCB- 167/5 after 17 overs.
Cummins concedes 15 runs. RCB- 157/4. Three boundaries in the over, all off the bat of Green.
Kohli's struggle Comes To An End. He departs for 43-ball 51. Didn't get any momentum whatsoever in his innings. Has to walk back now. Dare we say, this could be a blessing in disguise for RCB. RCB- 142/4 after 15 overs.
Unadkat's third over. Kohli and Green in the middle for SRH.
Only 4 singles off the 14th. Even Kohli batting on 50 found it tough to score at a good rate against him. RCB- 136/3 after 14 overs. Time for second time out. Shahbaz Ahmed- 3 overs, none for 14. Virat Kohli- 51* off 40, Green- 3* off 3.
Fifty For Kohli too. Gets there off 37 balls. Needs to up the ante. Doesn't he?
Cameron Green joins Kohli.
Patidar falls. It's Unadkat who has broken the partnership for SRH. It's a full toss that Patidar wants to send over the ropes for a maximum but he is caught near the ropes on the leg-side fence. He is out for 50 off 20. End of a great innings. Bit of a lucky wicket for SRH that. RCB-130/3 after 12.4 Overs.
Six singles off the over. Excellent from Cummins. Only six singles off it.
Cummins Returns.
27 runs coming off that over, the best batting over for RCB this season. RCB- 121/2 after 11 overs.
Patidar has decided to up the ante and how. He goes SIX , SIX , SIX, SIX against Markande off successive deliveries. 50 off the partnership already with almost half the runs coming off the last four deliveries alone. SRH will now feel the heat.
100th IPL game for the left-armer. 10 runs coming off his first with the help of a boundary off the bat of Patidar and the 10th over of the innings. RCB- 94/2.
Shahbaz finishes his second. 2 overs, none for 10 for him. 2 overs, 1 for 15 for Markande. 19 off the last 2 overs. RCB- 84/2 after 9 overs as we head into the first time out. Rajat Patidar- 15* off 7. Virat Kohli- 38* off 26.
Excellent passage of play for SRH. Post the wickets, they have managed to dry up the runs as well.
Patidar has come in at number 4 for RCB.
Markande deceives Jacks with his flight and rattles his stumps to see the back of the batter. Only 4 runs off the five balls before that which meant that Jacks had to go for the big one. Markande has the last laugh. 4 runs, 1 wicket off the over. RCB- 65/2 after 7 overs.
Time for Mayank Markande.
That's that from the powerplay. RCB- 61/1 after 6 overs. Will Jacks- 4* off 6, Kohli- 32* off 18.
It's off the bat of Kohli who goes down the ground for a maximum against Natarajan. He is off to a good start once again. Will we see a Kohli special in Hyderabad?
Shahbaz Ahmed into the attack. Concedes just 2 runs as SRH pave their way back after the first few expensive overs. Will Jacks has joined Kohli after the fall of the wicket
Natarajan Strikes. He may have gone for a boundary first ball but the left-arm pacer has come back well to get rid of Faf du Plessis for 25 off 12. RCB- 48/1 after 3.5 Overs.
Pat Cummins has come to bowl inside the powerplay but there is no respect from Kohli and Du Plessis. Kohli starts off with a couple of boundaries while Du Plessis smashes the first six of the evening off his bowling. 19 runs off the over. RCB- 43/0 after 3 overs.
Three boundaries in the Bhuvi over, all off the bat of Bhuvi. First one through the covers, then over the midwicket fielder before a punch through covers again as RCB fetch 14 runs off the over. RCB- 24/0 after 2 overs.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar has the ball in hand from the other end for Hyderabad.
Kohli's up and running already. Started off with a boundary off the very first ball of the innings. RCB get 10 off the first over. 8 off Kohli's bat alone. RCB- 10/0 after the 1st over.
Out come the RCB openers- Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli. Abhishek Sharma has the ball in hand for SRH.

Background

It's a contest between two teams that find themselves in contrasting positions on the points table. While SRH have played a brand of cricket that has captured everyone's attention and have breached the 250-run mark thrice in this edition of the tournament alone, it's a philosophy that has augured well for the team.

In two matches, they have had to stumble defeat. In sharp contrast, RCB haven't found a way that has been working for them as they haven't quite got the desired results. In 8 matches, they only have a win against their name and as many as 7 defeats. Their miserable season finds them at the rock bottom of the IPL 2024 points table.
