OUT! Big wicket for RCB early in the innings. Just after hitting a giant six, David Warner went for another big hit but didn't get the elevation and Isuru Udana took a good catch at mid-on. Just a start RCB needed!
So, RCB post 120/7 in their allotted 20 overs. It was a clinical bowling display from SRH bowlers and they will be the happier side after the first half. However, the pitch is on the slower side and chasing the total is not expected to be a cakewalk for David Warner and Co.
OUT! Third man down for RCB and this time its the big fish AB de Villiers. The Proteas dasher went for a big shot off Shahbaz Nadeem but failed to clear the deep cover fence. Credit must also got to Abhishek Sharma who took a good catch under pressure. Bangalore in deep trouble now. De Villiers c Abhishek Sharma b Nadeem 24(24)
OUT! Another one bites the dust and its Virat Kohli this time. He fells prey to Sandeep Sharma for the seventh time in his IPL career. The RCB skipper couldn't drive the fuller delivery properly and hits it straight to Kane Williamson at shortish extra cover. Bangalore are two down now with the scoring rate below six. Kohli c Williamson b Sandeep Sharma 7(7)
OUT! Sensational start for Sunrisers Hyderabad in a must-win encounter. Frustrated from the accurate bowling, Devdutt Padikkal went for a wild swing but couldn't make any sort of the connection and Sandeep Sharma disturbs the timber. The track is indeed on the slower side and RCB need a plan here. Devdutt Padikkal b Sandeep Sharma 5(8)
The players are out in the middle as the action gets underway. Josh Philippe and Devdutt Padikkal are the two openers for RCB while Sandeep Sharma starts proceedings with the ball.
