SRH vs RR Highlights, IPL 2026 Eliminator: Sunrisers receive Royal thumping as Sooryavanshi dominates the night

RR vs SRH LIVE Score, IPL 2026 Eliminator: OUT!!! That is the end of the match. Shivang is dismissed, the Royals have won this match by 47 runs. They now go into the Qualifier 2 to face the Gujarat Titans.

49 runs needed off six balls. The game is mathematically over. The formalities are to be completed in these six balls.

Shivang Kumar seems to have cramped up while playing the pull off that ball. He is getting treated by the SRH physio.

IN THE AIR AND TAKEN!!!! Eshan Malinga swung, and he did not have much of an option. The ball goes high up in the air and is taken by Jofra Archer. The ninth wicket falls, the Royals are now just one wicket away from meeting the Titans in Qualifier 2.

Brilliant batting from Shivang Kumar. He has smashed Jofra Archer for three boundaries in that over. 17 runs off that over, yet the target is too far out of their reach. The Sunirsers now need 59 runs off 18 balls to win the game.

The final four overs now left in this chase. The Sunrisers now need 75 runs off 24 balls to win the game. They have only two wickets in their hands.

In the air and taken!!! Salil Arora goes over the infield on the off-side and is holed out in the deep. That is the 8th wicket to fall. The Sunrisers are now almost through to Qualifier 2.

Brilliant over from Ravindra Jadeja. He just concedes three runs off it.

It is now just the formalities being done to play 20 overs, it seems like that. All the players are visibly going through the motions, delaying the inevitable.

GONE!!! Pat Cummins departs. This is now falling apart very quickly for the Sunrisers. Royals now have a foot in the Qualifier 2.

RR vs SRH LIVE Score, IPL 2026 Eliminator: IN THE AIR AND TAKEN!!! Nitish Kumar Reddy departs. Just when the game was changing in SRH's favour, Ravindra Jadeja has struck and has picked up the valuable wicket of Nitish Kumar Reddy.

Okay, so SRH are saying that this game is not over yet!!!! Reddy and Arora are continuing the aggression. They believe they can still do this.

Two huge sixes!!!! Nitish Reddy is giving his best to keep the chase alive. A couple of sixes to end that over. It is still a huge task, but Reddy is trying.

The 100 comes up for SRH. The task ahead is a lot but Nitish Reddy is fighting the battle.

Royals appealed but the umpire denied it. The review was taken and it turns out that it is out. Heinrich Klaasen departs and that should be the final nail in SRH's coffin. Only a miracle can save them from here.

RR vs SRH LIVE Score, IPL 2026 Eliminator: SIX!!!! Klaasen plays spin well and there is an example of it. The South African is fighting this battle for the Sunrisers.

That brings us to the end of the powerplay. The Sunrisers have scored at a good rate, but is the wickets that they have lost is the problem. They are now 71 for four down. Notably, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan and Travis Head are back in the hut.

ARCHER DISMANTLES THE STUMPS!!!! Travis Head departs!!!! Archer has given away runs but he has picked up three huge wickets. The game has changed completely in this spell.

Heinrich Klaasen is out in the middle. But Nandre Burger decided to be aggressive against him. He has bowled an outstanding over. Just one run off it, that of a wide. The Royals are really dominating the proceedings here.

Smaran Ravichandran falls. The Sunirsers are three down. This is exactly how the defence should have started for the Royals. They have seized the momentum very early in this chase.

RR vs SRH LIVE Score, IPL 2026 Eliminator: Jofra Archer does it again!!! This time it is Ishan Kishan. He was starting to look dangerous and Archer has struck through. The Sunrisers are in trouble here.

A four and a six!!! Ishan Kishan is not going down without a fight for sure. He has hit a boundary and maximum off Jofra Archer. Despite losing Abhishek, the Sunrisers look well on course in this chase.

The Sunrisers may have been rocked early by the wicket of Abhishek Sharma, but Travis Head and Ishan Kishan are keeping the hopes alive with counter attacking batting.

Abhishek Sharma departs!!!! Dream start for the Royals. Archer gets the most important wicket in this defence.

And that concludes the innings. A great final over, just 5 runs off it. A total that could have gone past 270 has ended up at 243/8.
