SRH vs RCB Highlights, IPL 2024: Royal Challengers Bengaluru beats Sunrisers Hyderabad by 35 runs

Yash Dayal with the final over. A few wides from him, but there is enough runs in the bank. RCB WINS AFTER A MONTH!

It all started with a splendid show with the bat. Patidar’s quickfire fifty and Green’s late blitz, along with Kohli’s slow-but-steady fifty ensured RCB got to 206/7.

SRH’s batting might failed, for a change, as RCB bowlers took wickets with frequency, helping their side to a 35-run win. 

Siraj with the penultimate over of the game. Shahbaz takes a single second ball of the over. Siraj arrows in a yorker right underneath Unadkat’s boots. Dot ball. Just three runs from the over.

Short from Ferguson and Shahbaz nails the pull shot. SIX!! He adds a double with a hit to deep mid wicket. Shahbaz takes single fourth ball of the over to hand strike to Unadkat. Short from Ferguson. Unadkat manages a top edge on it and it runs away for a four. 

Siraj with his third over of the day. Short to Shahbaz. Top edged. But falls in no man’s land. Uneventful over. Just three singles from it.

Bhuvi with a wild swing at a fuller one from Green. Outside edge and flies past the keeper for a four. Short now from Green and Bhuvi gets enough bat on it to get a four down the leg side. Full and on the pads now. Bhuvi clips it straight to Sirah at short midwicket. 

Bhuvneshwar Kumar c Mohammed Siraj b Green 13 (13b 3x4 0x6)

Karn Sharma with the 15th. He hangs it outside the offstump, forcing a play and miss from Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Another one looped up one. Edge from Bhuvi. Green fails to hold onto a tough chance at first slip. On the pads now and Bhuvi slaps it for a four to deep mid wicket. 

Green gets his first over of the day and he instantly gets rid off his Aussie Test captain. Sliced by Cummins and Siraj takes a good catch running back. 

Pat Cummins c Mohammed Siraj b Green 31 (15b 1x4 3x6)

Green closes out the over well. RCB has the win in sight. 

SRH 126/7 in 14 overs.

Yash Dayal returns. Shahbaz gets a single off the first ball to hand the strike to Cummins. Yorker from Yash and squeezed away for a single. Decent over from the pacer. Just four singles from it. 

A tad too short from Karn Sharma. Cummins places it over short fine leg for a four. Again short from Karn. Cummins powers it over deep mid wicket for a six. The skipper leading from the front. 

Another over for Swapnil. Dragged short and Cummins pulls it. Just beyond the reach of Cameron Green at deep mid wicket. SIX. Cummins goes for a six again. Perfect connection. SIX OVER LONG ON!!

Karn drags his length back seeing Samad dancing down the track. Chipped and Karn makes a good diving catch. SRH in deep trouble!

Abdul Samad c & b Sharma 10 (6b 0x4 1x6)

SRH 89/6 in 10 overs

Lockie Ferguson into the attack. Samad welcomes with a dismissive cross-batted whack over long on. SIX!! Ferguson responds by ramping up the pace. But he misses his line against Shahbaz. Too leg-sideish and clipped away for a four. 

Du Plessis now tosses the ball to leg spinner Karn Sharma. Nitish tries to take him on with a reverse sweep. Misses the ball completely and is bowled. RCB in control now. 

Nitish Kumar Reddy b Sharma 13 (13b 0x4 1x6)

Just four runs from the over. SRH 72/5 in 8 overs

Swapnil gets another crack after his eventful first over. Better control from him this time. No looseners. No wickets either. Just six singles from the over. 

Siraj to round off the PowerPlay. Starts off the over well. Just three runs from the first four balls. Full and on the pads now against Shahbaz. Clipped away for a couple. 

Swapnil oversteps next up. Freehit for Nitish. Full toss and it is smacked away for a six by Nitish straight over the bowler’s head. Full now from Swapnil and Klaasen gets his first six of the day by depositing it over the long on fence. Again full. But this time, Klaasen doesn’t get his timing right. High ball. Green doesn’t miss those. 

Heinrich Klaasen c Green b Swapnil Singh 7 (3b 0x4 1x6)

SRH 56/4 in 5 overs

Swapnil Singh into the attack. Markram takes him on first ball. Carves it through covers for a four. Full toss from Swapnil now. Markram is out of his crease and it hits him on the thigh pad. Umpire gives into RCB’s appeal for an LBW. Markram reviews almost immediately, but to no luck. 

Aiden Markram lbw b Swapnil Singh 7 (8b 1x4 0x6)

Yash Dayal into the attack. Length ball outside off and Markram crashes it straight back. Virat Kohli dives in to prevent a boundary at mid off. Full toss from Dayal. Easy pickings for Abhishek. FOUR!!

Length once again. Abhishek swipes across the line. Top edge and gobbled up by Dinesh Karthik. RCB fighting hard in this game. 

Abhishek Sharma c †Karthik b Yash Dayal 31 (13b 3x4 2x6)

SRH 37/2 in 4 overs

Full from Jacks and Abhishek pounces on it. Smoked over extra cover for a four. Now he uses his footwork to loft one over long on for a six. The SRH blitz gets an unusually late start. Now Jacks drops it a bit short. Abhishek rocks back to back foot before launching it over square leg fence. SIX MORE!!

Siraj starts with a sharp yorker. Abhishek digs it out and gathers a single. New batter Markram on strike. He gets off the strike with an uppish drive. Just a single. 

Siraj goes short. Too short says the square leg umpire. Wide signalled. Again short. Abhishek flat-bats it for a four to deep mid wicket. 

Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma begin the chase for SRH. Will Jacks with the ball for RCB. The line is tight and restrictive. Just three runs from the first five balls. 

Jacks loops it up and Head goes after it. Slices it up and it is an easy catch for Karn Sharma. BIG WICKET!!

Travis Head c Sharma b Jacks 1 (3b 0x4 0x6)

SRH 3/1 in 1 over

Natarajan to bowl the final over. Full toss to start off and that’s put away for a SIX by Swapnil and that brings up RCB’s 200! Full and outside off, it takes and outside edge off Swapnil and runs away for a FOUR. Slow and short, Swapnil swings and misses but RCB has decided to review it and DRS deems it a fair delivery. Swapnil tries to take advantage of a half volley but mishits it as Abhishek takes an easy catch at long on. RCB GETS TO 206/7 AT THE END OF 20 OVERS

Cummins to bowl the penultimate over. Good yorker but Green makes room to strike it right back at the bowler for a FOUR! Two in two for Green, Cummins takes the pace off but Green stands and delivers. In the slot and DK smacks it down the ground past mid on for a FOUR. BUT THE AUSTRALIAN HAS THE LAST LAUGH AS HE GETS RID OF KARTHIK. Slow and short from Cummins, DK hits it high but finds Abdul Samad at deep square. RCB has introduced its impact player Swapnil Singh is in for Patidar

Dinesh Karthik c Abdul Samad b Cummins 11 (6b 2x4 0x6) SR: 183.33

Natarajan comes back, replaces Cummins. Starts off with a perfectly executed yorker. Nattu has kept it tight so far and will expect to finish the over in a similar fashion. But Dinesh Karthik picks the gap to perfection as he smacks one through covers for a FOUR! 

Unadkat continues. What an outing Unadkat is having in his 100th IPL match! He takes the pace off as Lomror tried to go big, only to find Cummins at deep midwicket. The dangerous Dinesh Karthik comes in to bat next. Short and slow, Green takes his time to pull it through the onside for a FOUR! 

Mahipal Lomror c Cummins b Unadkat 7 (4b 1x4 0x6) SR: 175

Cummins replaces Shahbaz. Green strikes it down the ground to collect the first boundary in over four overs. Back of the length this time and Green pulls it square for a FOUR. Short and wide, Lomror gets creative and smacks it over short third for a FOUR. 15 runs came from that over 

Unadkat continues. Kohli’s struggle to find connection continues as he tries to smack a short one over midwicket. Single off the following ball, the impetus provided by Patidar has watered down now as the boundaries have dried up since his departure. UNADKAT GETS HIS SECOND! Kohli gets decieved for pace and tried to smack a short ball but finds the fielder at the deep. Mahipal Lomror joins Green 

Virat Kohli c Abdul Samad b Unadkat 51 (43b 4x4 1x6) SR: 118.6

Shahbaz into the attack, replaces Cummins. KOHLI GETS TO HIS FIFTY WITH A SINGLE! But his strike rate has been an issue, he’s not hit a boundary in the last 22 balls he’s faced. Almost chopped on! Tad bit short from Shahbaz, Kohli tries to cut it but it takes an inside edge and misses the stumps by a mere few inches. Just four runs from the over. Strategic timeout

Unadkat replaces Markande. Patidar gets to his half century in just 19 balls with a single! AND HIS STAY IN THE MIDDLE COMES TO AN END! Low full toss from Unadkat but Patidar fails to get the required elevation as he hits it straight to deep sqare-leg fielder. Cam Green in at five. Kohli ends the over with a single 

Rajat Patidar c Abdul Samad b Unadkat 50 (20b 2x4 5x6) SR: 250

Cummins replaces Unadkat. Patidar takes a single off the first ball. Good over so far from the skipper, just five runs off five balls. Kohli gets a single off the last ball, just six runs from the ove 

Markande continues. Full and on the slot, Patidar lofts it through the covers and clears the fence. That’s two in two! In the hitting arc yet again and Patidar goes straight this time to get a six! MAKE IT THREE! This is outstanding stuff from Patidar, Patidar reads the wrong un to perfection and slog sweeps it for another six! OH MY WORLD THAT’S FOUR IN FOUR! Markande tosses it up wide outside off and it doesnt matter as Patidar goes bang! What an over for RCB! 27 runs from that over! 

Jaydev Unadkat is introduced, he replaces Shahbaz. Kolhi is finding it difficult to middle the balls, he nudges a short one to short third for a single. Short and wide outside off and Patidar lofts it over midwicket for a FOUR. Much straighter this time and it induces an outside edge off Patidar but it falls outside the reach of short third. 10 runs off Unadkat’s first over 

Markande tosses it up yet again but its too full as Patidar takes full advantage and smokes it straight for a SIX! Full and outside off, Kohli tries to go across the line but doesn’t get the desired connection and settles for a single. 11 runs came from the over. Strategic timeout

Shahbaz continues from the other end. Pitched up and Patidar gives himself some room and smacks it over the bowler’s head to get a FOUR! Kohli fails to read the line and gets trapped leg before, muted appeal from the bowler and the keeper but it looked it it was going down the legside 

Mayank Markande replaces Shahbaz. Just outside off and Jacks clubs it down the ground for a single. RATTLED THE STUMPS THROUGH THE GATE! Jacks tries to sweep the ball but misses a slower one as Markande makes a mess of the wickets! Rajat Patidar in at four. A superb over comes to an end, just four singles and a wicket

Will Jacks b Markande 6 (9b 0x4 0x6) SR: 66.66

Natarajan continues. Short and directed towards the thigh pad, Kohli flicks it to short fine to take a sketchy single. SIX! Nattu goes full and Kohli takes the aerial route to clear the fence. Jacks completes the over with a single 

Shahbaz Ahmed replaces Cummins. That’s five different bowlers for five overs. Jacks goes across the line and hits it to deep midwicket to collect a single and that brings up RCB’s 50. Tidy from Shahbaz, concedes just two runs 

T Natarajan replaces Bhuvi. And it doesn’t matter. Natarajan goes full and makes it easy for Kohli to flick it through midwicket for a FOUR! Full again, Faf plays it straight through the ground and it takes a deflection of Nattu’s boot and goes towards mid off fielder, that’s four runs saved. AND NATARAJAN PROVIDES THE MUCH NEEDED BREAKTHROUGH! It was short and wide, Faf tried to slap it over the infield but was decieved for pace as Aidem Markram takes a comfortable catch at mid off! Will Jacks comes in at number three. 

Faf du Plessis c Markram b Natarajan 25 (12b 3x4 1x6) SR: 208.33

Skipper Cummins replaces Abhishek. Kohli comes down the track, uses his wrist and lofts it over midwicket for a FOUR! Kohli goes over extra covers this time and that’s yet another FOUR! Now it’s Faf. He plays his trademark scoop to clear the fence over fine leg! SIX! A tad bit short this time, Faf slaps it through the legside to collect a double. 19 runs off Cummins’ over! 

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to bowl the second. Short and on the offside, du Plessis welcomes him with a punch through the covers and collects a FOUR! Bhuvi keeps it tight this time, Kohli is cramped for space and is forced to defend it, a dot. What a flick from Faf! He does just enough to clear the infield and that’s another FOUR! This time Faf goes through the offside but the result is the same, yet another FOUR! Huge over for RCB, 14 came off it 

The regular opening pair of Virat Kohli and Faf fu Plessis have walked into the middle for RCB while Abhishek Sharma will start the proceedings with the ball. 

First ball to the pads and Kohli just had to clip it on the onside to start the match off with a FOUR. He follows it up with a single. Faf off the mark with a single as as well. A bit short this time, Kohli rocks back and hit sit through the onside but settles for just a single. Couple of runs to finish the first over, 10 runs came off it 

With two of the top five batters in the Orange cap standings— Virat Kohli (1) and Travis Head (5)— in action today, expect changes to the table. Here’s the orange cap list after the match between DC and GT:

287, 277, 266 - These are some of the totals that SRH has managed to put on the scoreboard this season. RCB needs to set a huge target for its opposition, in order to stand a chance against the SRH juggernaut

DK - This is an absolute flat deck so 220-230 is what you want. I don’t think I need to expect anything different from Sunrisers, but we need to bowl like we did against KKR.

RCB - Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis(c), Rajat Patidar, Cameron Green, Will Jacks, Dinesh Karthik(w), Mahipal Lomror, Karn Sharma, Lockie Ferguson, Mohammed Siraj, Yash Dayal

SRH - Abhishek Sharma, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen(w), Nitish Reddy, Abdul Samad, Shahbaz Ahmed, Pat Cummins(c), Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jaydev Unadkat, Mayank Markande, T Natarajan

It’s been awesome, good to be back here. It’s my first year here. The amount of people wearing orange, feels like a good place. We want to bat the same way. We have to adjust quicker as a bowling side. Unadkat comes in for Washington Sundar

We are gonna bat first. We feel like our fans go with us everywhere. These boys have been playing some amazing cricket, hopefully we can put some scoreboard pressure on them. We fought really hard in the last game. Same team

RCB wins the toss and elects to bat first. The away side remains unchanged.
