The red and gold outfits defeated Pat Cummins’ in-form SRH by a margin of runs to register their second win in their 8th match in the current season. Both teams played this match at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.

The veteran SRH pacer Jaydev Unadkat scalped 3 wickets at the cost of just 30 runs in his quota of 4 overs, alongside 2 wickets picked by impact player T Natarajan in his quota of 4 overs. Besides these two, skipper Pat Cummins and spinner Mayank Markande also claimed one wicket each for SRH in the first innings.

While chasing the target, it was only the opener Abhishek Sharma and lower-order batter Shahbaz Ahmed who played knocks of 31 and unbeaten 40 runs, respectively. Sharma scored 31 runs off just 13 balls, with 3 fours and 2 sixes followed by Shahabaz’s 40 runs off 37 balls, with a six and a four. Besides these two, skipper Pat Cummins also scored 31 runs off just 15 balls, with a four.

However, these knocks couldn’t help SRH and they could score only 171 runs for the loss of 8 wickets in the entire 20 overs. Eventually, RCB won by 35 runs and registered their second victory in the 9th match in their ongoing IPL 2024 campaign.
