IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Highlights: Bengaluru clinch 2nd win of the season, beat Hyderabad by 35 runs

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: He broke the choke that SRH were putting on RCB after the powerplay by clobbering 50 in 20 balls. Here is what he said: “I was just keeping things in my mind that control the controllables. Whenever I go back home, I try to solve every problem which I faced. I go for skillful batting setup. Nothing like that (plan to target spin?). Today I was backing myself to be in good shape against every bowler.”

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Du Plessis jokes that he had forgotten the way to the post-match presentation. “Last two games, we've shown great signs of fight. SRH game was 270 plus, we got 260. KKR game as well - 1 run. We've been close for a while, but you need to win matches to get confidence as a group. Will sleep easier tonight. You can't speak confidence into the group, can't fake confidence into the group. Only thing that gives confidence is performances. The competition is so strong, the teams are so strong that you'll get hurt if you're not at 100 percent. More guys scoring runs now. First half of the tournament only Virat was scoring runs. Greeny scoring runs now will be massive for him. We know that Chinnaswamy, that's been a big frustration for us. It's a difficult ground to bowl at. We've tried to find a recipe for it, but it's tough.”

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: "Not an ideal night. Few over par with the ball and unfortunately lost a few wickets throughout our innings. We were gonna bat first, it seems to be working for us. Before the last few wins, we were thinking that we were a bowl-first team. Didn't go our way. (Messaging to the group) I speak after wins, Dan (Vettori) speaks after losses. The boys have been going really well, it's T20 cricket, you are not going to win every game. Don't dwell on this too much. (High risk, high reward approach with the bat) I think it's our strong suit. It's not going to work every game. One or two games where it hasn't gone our way at the start, we still managed to get a good total. Still think this is the way forward for our boys."

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Shahbaz Ahmed finishes on 40 off 37 balls, it doesn't really matter what his strike rate was, this game was done and dusted well before he came out to bat. RCB have thus finally got their second win of the season. They would have probably liked to dismiss SRH earlier in the match and take some sweet NRR juice but then beggars can't be choosers. 

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: It takes forever for the 19th over to end, mainly because RCB review an obvious wide ball for the fourth delivery and it takes about seven minutes for the process to be completed. After determining that the ball had indeed passed about 3 feet above the batter's head, the third umpire then asks for ultra edge footage and that takes about 2 more minutes to come up. At the end of that extremely efficient process, the umpire's decision is upheld. Just four runs in that over in the end, Siraj finishes with figures of 0/20.

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: SRH need 48 to win off the last two overs and they still have Shahbaz Ahmed out there. RCB have been poor in the field in the last two overs. Green's dropped catch for Bhuvi apart there have been a couple of overthrows as well. They couldn't possibly bottle this, could they? Shahbaz hits a six off the first ball of the 18th by Ferguson and sends it over deep midwicket. Three runs off the next three balls and then a lucky four for Unadkat.

SRH vs RCB IPL Live Score: SRH 159/8 in 18 overs

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Fifth ball of the 16th, Bhuvneshwar chips that to midwicket where Siraj takes it over his head. Wicket No.2 for Green and Bhuvi's little cameo ends. He has given a reminder that he can bat too.

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Karn Sharma ends his spell with figures of 2/29. He would have got three wickets had it not been for Green dropping Bhuvneshwar at slip off the third ball of that over. Bhuvi then sends the fifth ball to the midwicket fence for a four.

SRH vs RCB IPL Live Score: SRH 124/7 in 13.1 overs

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Oh what a catch that is from Mohammed Siraj at short third man! Cam Green ends his Australian captain's time in the middle. A bouncer from Green for the first ball of the 14th over after sending his first attempt at it wide. Cummins tries to help it over short third for a four, can't get enough wheels on it. Siraj runs back and takes the catch, makes it look much easier than what it was.

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Well Cummins is going to stick to SRH's philosophy and so far, he has done pretty well.

Then he muscles the third ball over deep midwicket for a six.

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Well captain Cummins has decided that he is going to keep swinging for the horizons regardless of what happens. Swapnil bowls the 11th over, Cummins hits the fifth delivery just over Green's hands at deep midwicket. Then he hits the last one over wide long-on for another six. He is on 16 off six, Shahbaz is on 16 off 15. Is Cummins going to do a Stoinis here?

SRH vs RCB IPL Live Score: SRH 104/6 in 11 overs

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Abdul Samad hits it straight back to Karn Sharma first ball of the 10th and that is pretty much that as far as any threat goes from SRH. Samad steps out, Karn sees it and sends in his delivery flat. Samad has to readjust but puts it back to the bowler.

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Nitish Reddy falls now and Karn Sharma strikes. Nitish tries to reverse sweep the second ball of the eighth but this one just rushes off the pitch at him and catches him unawares. Misses it entirely and the off stump is gone.

SRH vs RCB IPL Live Score: SRH 69/5 in 7.2 overs

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Well this isn't going well for SRH at all. Just six runs off the sixth over and SRH have scored 62 runs in the powerplay. But it has come at the cost of four of their most prolific batters.

SRH vs RCB IPL Live Score: SRH 56/4 in 5 overs

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Swapnil Singh gets a wicket off just the second ball of his first over. Markram sends the first ball of the fifth past the point fielder for a four. Then he comes down the track but misses a full toss, ball hits the pads and Swapnil appeals, umpire raises his finger. Well that was a delivery that would have been pulverised on any other day, today, though, Swapnil has got a wicket with it and Virat Kohli can't stop laughing. Markram reviews though and it is three reds.

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Yash Dayal gets the big wicket and RCB have sent both of SRH's openers back before the end of the powerplay.

SRH vs RCB IPL Live Score: SRH 37/2 in 3.4 overs

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Well this time Will Jacks is taken all around the park. Abhishek goes inside out over cover for a four off the first ball. It had dropped just short of the boundary. Then he smashes the next delivery over long-on for a humongous six. Four runs off the next three balls and then Abhishek creams the sixth ball over midwicket.

SRH vs RCB IPL Live Score: SRH 31/1 in 3 overs

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru:Just eight runs off the second over with Aiden Markram replacing Head. Abhishek got a four off the fourth ball of that over and he moves to eight off six at the end of it.

SRH vs RCB IPL Live Score: SRH 11/1 in 2 overs

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: How about that! Will Jacks dismisses Travis Head for one run! Jacks gets the last ball of the over to spin away, Head swings across the line and the ball takes the top edge. Karn Sharma takes the catch. What a start for RCB!

Head c Sharma b Jacks 1 (3)

SRH vs RCB IPL Live Score: SRH 3/1 in 1 over

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: RCB have decided to start with a spinner, just as SRH did. It is Will Jacks bowling the first over, Travis Head has come in as impact sub for Natarajan, Abhishek Sharma at the other end.

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: RCB have crossed 200 for the third time in a row. In fact, this is their lowest score in their last three matches. The results in these other games? They lost to SRH by 25 runs and to KKR by one run. And so they would know that they are far from being out of the woods. Virat Kohli got off to a sensational start and then ended up not being able to hit any boundaries from the sixth over till the time he was out in the 15th over. However, Rajat Patidar's 50 off 20 balls, Cameron Green's unbeaten 37 off 20 and innings by Dinesh Karthik and Swapnil Singh helped RCB undo the damage somewhat and get past the 200-run mark. Now it remains to be seen how ther underpowered bowling attack keeps SRH's overpowered batting in check. SRH haven't had to chase too often this season and so that is something that RCB can take motivation from.

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Cummins makes sure that there will be no Dinesh Karthik for SRH to be weary of in the last over. Karthik fell off the second last ball of the 19th over on 11 off six. Natarjan to bowl the last over now, Swapnil Singh is on strike on one off one, Cameron Green at the other end on 36 off 19.

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: In normal circumstances, we could say that RCB have already got to a good score. But considering the kind of ridiculous scoring rates we have seen from SRH this year, we could say that RCB would be hoping to get at least 30 more runs in the last two overs to give themselves a chance. DK with a four off the last ball of the 18th bowled by Natarajan. Karthik is on seven off four, Green is on 27 off 16.

SRH vs RCB IPL Live Score: RCB 179/5 in 18 overs

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB Live Score, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Well RCB are crashing and burning here. Lomror tries to go big off the third ball of the 17th, ends up holing out at deep midwicket. Out walks Dinesh Karthik, maybe RCB can get things going now. They have a good score on board but considering just how good SRH's batters are and how bad thier bowlers are, even 210 might be a below par score on this pitch.

SRH vs RCB IPL Live Score: RCB 161/5 in 16.3 overs
