Standout Performers
7 of 7
Sunrisers Bowlers Restrict RCB Big Hitters
Royal Challengers Bangalore have some of the best Twenty20 batsmen in the world in their lineup, but none were able to kick on against a solid Hyderabad bowling performance.
Chris Gayle was quick off of the mark but fell for 21 to Praveen Kumar, while Ravi Bopara took the key wicket of Virat Kohli for 41.
Trent Boult was the star man, though, for the Sunrisers, taking three wickets and arguably the most important of AB de Villiers.
De Villiers was caught by Shikhar Dhawan for a 28-ball 46 with 10 balls remaining, and the Royal Challengers' remaining four wickets all fell before the 20 overs were done, as they were all out for 166.
Had De Villiers stayed in, such is his talent with the bat, RCB could easily have kicked on towards a total of 180 or 190, and Sunrisers would have had a much tougher challenge on their hands in the chase.
David Warner Sets up Win
In the chase, and with no real scoreboard pressure, David Warner got Hyderabad off to the perfect start as he brutally dispatched the RCB opening bowlers.
His immense onslaught meant his side were always ahead of the required rate, with the skipper reaching his 50 from just 24 balls.
Warner eventually went for 57 from 27 balls—hitting six fours and four maximums—trapped leg before wicket by Yuzvendra Chahal.
Dhawan's was the more measured performance of the opening pair, but he played a hugely important role in assisting Warner, kicking on later in the innings and eventually finishing unbeaten on 50.
