Warner’s 'Orange army' were against the in-form RCB in the finals and many touted the latter side as favourites. Batting first, however, SRH posted a mammoth total of 208/7 courtesy a brilliant half-century by the skipper and a cameo of 39 runs off 15 balls by Ben Cutting.

In reply, RCB got off to a flier as Chris Gayle went all guns blazing from the outset. He scored a 38-ball 76 and set a great platform for the upcoming batsman. Skipper Kohli also scored 54 runs. However, Hyderabad bowlers made a brilliant comeback in the end overs and helped their side register an eight-run triumph.
