Sunrisers Hyderabad Outclass Royal Challengers Bengaluru
Sunrisers Hyderabad unleashed an onslaught with the bat, amassing a total of 287 runs. Travis Head’s blistering century in just 39 balls, along with explosive contributions from Heinrich Klaasen, Aiden Markram, and Abdul Samad, ensured a daunting target for the opposition.
In reply, Royal Challengers Bengaluru began their chase strongly with Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli laying a solid foundation. However, a sudden collapse ensued, and the chase remained alive only as long as Dinesh Karthik was at the crease.
Karthik’s exceptional innings of 83 runs off just 35 balls kept RCB in the game momentarily, but once he departed, their hopes fizzled out, falling short of the target by 20 runs.
