IPL Points Table, Team Standings, Orange Cap And Purple Cap Updated List After RCB vs SRH Match

In an encounter where fortunes swung wildly, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) beat the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) side by a slender margin of 4 runs in the 52nd match of the 2021 edition of the IPL.

Chasing a target of 142, the RCB side lost their skipper Virat Kohli early. The master batsman was adjudged LBW off the bowling of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and departed for just 5 runs. Daniel Christian’s horrendous run with the bat continued, and he was dismissed by Siddharth Kaul for just 1 run.

Srikar Bharat then edged Umran Malik to Wriddhiman Saha behind the stumps and walked back for a 10-ball 12. Glenn Maxwell once again went berserk and demolished the SRH bowling attack. The Aussie scored a belligerent 40 off 25 deliveries and hammered the opposition. But then, Maxwell’s blazing innings came to an end after he was run out, courtesy a brilliant direct hit from Kane Williamson.

Devdutt Padikkal gobbled up 52 balls, and scored 41 runs for the RCB side, scoring his runs at a poor strike rate of 78.84. For the SRH side, all 5 bowlers who rolled their arm over scalped a wicket each.

Sunrisers Hyderabad post 141/7 on the board

Batting first, the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) side posted a total of 141/7 in their allotted 20 overs. Opener Jason Roy top-scored for the ‘Orange Army’ with a classy 44 off 38 deliveries, while skipper Kane Williamson scored a handy 29-ball 31 as well.

Apart from these two batsmen, none of the other willow wielders could even cross the 20-run mark for the SRH side. Harshal Patel once again proved his worth for the Virat Kohli-led outfit with the ball in hand.

In the 4 overs that he bowled, Patel picked up 3 wickets and gave away 33 runs. Daniel Christian scalped 2 wickets, while the likes of George Garton and Yuzvendra Chahal picked up a wicket each. After this victory, the SRH side continues to stay at the last place in the points table, while the RCB side remains at the 3rd spot.
