When Sunrisers Hyderabad finally got their mojo back, it was too late. Even when their top failed, Ishan Kishan stood there, anchored the innings, maintaining the aggressive strike rate. And with the foundation led earlier, the bowlers were allowed to get breathers. With Phil Salt leading the chase, it seemed to have almost slipped away from Hyderabad's hand, but the later managed and won it by 42 runs Sunrisers Hyderabad put up a strong total of 231/6 in their 20 overs, riding on Ishan Kishan’s unbeaten 94 off 48 balls, laced with 7 fours and 5 sixes at a strike rate of 195.83. Abhishek Sharma (34 off 17) and Aniket Verma (26 off 9) provided powerful cameos at the top and middle order. Heinrich Klaasen (24 off 13) and Pat Cummins (13* off 6) added further momentum. Travis Head fell early for 17, while Nitish Kumar Reddy and Abhinav Manohar couldn't convert their starts. The team maintained a scoring rate of 11.55 throughout. For the bowling side, Romario Shepherd was the most economical and effective, taking 2 wickets for just 14 runs in 2 overs. Krunal Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Lungi Ngidi, and Suyash Sharma chipped in with a wicket each. Yash Dayal went wicketless and expensive, conceding 36 in 3 overs.

The trickiest move was to get in Nitish Reddy in the 11th over, when he got Mayank Agarwal. It was this time when the wickets started falling like cards. Royal Challengers Bengaluru were bowled out for 189 in 19.5 overs while chasing 232 against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Phil Salt (62 off 32) and Virat Kohli (43 off 25) gave RCB a blazing start, adding 80 in under 7 overs. However, the middle and lower order crumbled despite Jitesh Sharma's 24. Pat Cummins led the SRH attack with 3/28, while Eshan Malinga impressed with 2/37, including the crucial scalp of Shepherd for a golden duck. Harshal Patel, Unadkat, Dubey, and Reddy picked one wicket each. The collapse began with Salt’s dismissal at 11.2 overs, and RCB lost their last seven wickets for just 60 runs. Well, with this, RCB loses just one option to secure their spot in the top two for the IPL playoffs. Notably, they will face Lucknow Super Giants on May 27 at Ekana Stadium.
