That's It. Solid win by Sunrisers Hyderabad. At the halfway mark it felt like Royal Challengers Bengaluru are ahead in the game but Pat Cummins returned to scalp the wicket of Phil Salt and since then RCB's innings went nowhere. Eshan Malinga and Pat Cummins bowled two solid overs to end all hopes for them. SRH are in a winning run now and will want to finish on a high.Â

Out! The match ended well before but Pat Cummins made sure that he did finish up the game. Two wickets in the over and made sure Sunrisers Hyderabad get a strong finish by a big margin. Krunal Pandya hit wkt b Cummins 8(6) and Bhuvneshwar b Cummins 3(2).

Out! There goes the last hopes of RCB. Tim David was limping with an hamstring injury. He faced a really tough situation but it was difficult to get balance with one foot damaged. Tried his best but had to get holed out in the deep. Tim David c Klaasen b Eshan Malinga 1(5).

Out! Royal Challengers Bengaluru have fallen apart in a matter of 7 balls. First Rajat Patidar goes for a risky single and gets run out through a direct hit. Romario Shepherd comes in, gets beaten by change of pace and dip from Eshan Malinga and gets caught and bowled. Next over, Jaydev Unadkat comes in and scalps the wicket of Jitesh Sharma. Sunrisers Hyderabad are ahead in the game now. Jitesh Sharma c Abhinav Manohar b Unadkat 24(15).

Out! After taking down some of the not so good bowling, Pat Cummins returned to the attack and made sure Phil Salt went back to the pavilion. Bowled into the surface and Salt miscued the pull shot. The ball went too high but the fielder settled in to take a good catch.  Phil Salt c Harshal Patel b Cummins 62(32).

Out! Not the best of starts for Mayank Agarwal. Tries to go hard but gets an outside edge which carries to the wicketkeeper. Meanwhile, Phil Salt on the other hand keeps Royal Challengers Bengaluru ahead of the asking rate. Sunrisers Hyderabad need a wicket here. Mayank Agarawal c Kishan b Nitish Reddy 11(10).

Some fireworks from Phil Salt has Royal Challengers Bengaluru have got their nose ahead in the game despite a slow start from the same. Salt looked rusty in the start and teed off against spin after the powerplay. RCB will want him to stay a little longer and take them ahead of the asking rate.Â

Out! Big wicket. Virat Kohli was looking a million dollars. Tries to hit inside out to Harsh Dubey. Makes room, the ball bounces just a bit more and Kohli miscues it to the hands of the backward point fielder inside the circle. Sunrisers Hyderabad finally have a breakthrough.  Kohli c Abhishek Sharma b Harsh Dubey 43(25).

Phil Salt was caught in the deep mid-wicket but he survives as the ball was an above waist-high fulltoss. Salt survived and Sunrisers Hyderabad, despite creating multiple opportunities are deprived of a wicket. Virat Kohli, meanwhile have found the gaps and the boundaries at ease.Â

A comeback innings from Ishan Kishan here. Played a stupendous innings of 94 runs and the others kept chipping in and Kishan provided a strong finish to take the total to a big one. The pitch didn't look very good for batting but SRH batters did a good job. Royal Challengers Bengaluru will fancy such a testing chase ahead of the play-offs.Â

Royal Challengers Bengaluru have faced some changes in their squad due to injury issues and the India-Pakistan tension break. Some of the overseas players have uncertainty in terms of availability. They have signed Tim Seifert as replacement of Jacob Bethell when he leaves during the play-offs. Josh Hazlewood's availability is still under question. Devdutt Padikkal has been ruled out of the competition with injury and Mayank Agarwal has been called in as his replacement.
