Highlights of Match 24 on April 25, 2018: Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Chennai Super Kings
The high scoring game between RCB and Chennai Super Kings as we told you went live down the wire. Quinton de Kock and AB de Villiers stole the limelight in the first innings by making 53 and 68 runs respectively. Titbits from the others helped RCB reach the total of 205/8. In the second innings, Chennai Super Kings lost Shane Watson, Suresh Raina, Sam Billings and Ravindra Jadeja quite early. It almost looked like RCB would have the last laugh. But skipper MS Dhoni and Ambati Rayudu led the team to victory. Dhoni looked in his vintage form and score 70 off 34 balls. Whereas Rayudu made 82 off 53 balls. Both stood tall for the team and thus led the Yellow Army to victory by 5 wickets. Check the scorecard here.
Brief scores: Chennai Super Kings 207 for 5 (Rayudu 82, MS Dhoni 70*) beat Royal Challengers Bangalore 205 for 8 (De Villiers 68, De Kock 53, Bravo 2-33) by five wickets
Day 20 Schedule on April 26, 2018: Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Kings XI Punjab
Both Kings XI Punjab and Sunrisers Hyderabad have won their last match. Kings XI Punjab won against the Delhi Daredevils by 4 run earlier on Monday and Sunrisers Hyderabad defeated Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede in a low-scoring game by 31 runs.

Now here’s the most difficult part as both teams have won their last games and are at the top of their game. But somewhere we feel that SRH will have an edge over KXIP as out of the last 5 times that both the teams locked horns, Kane Williamson’s men have won 4. Also because SRH recently have won 8 matches out of 10 in the home matches. So clearly the stats go in favour of the Orange Army.
