Harsh Dubey To Devdutt Padikkal OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Devdutt Padikkal tries to go big again, but holes out this time. Harsh Dubey breaks the massive 101-run stand and provides the much-needed breakthrough for his team. He tosses it up, full and on off, Devdutt Padikkal backs away and tries to launch it down the ground but gets it from the bottom half of the bat. The ball flies high in the air towards long off, where Heinrich Klaasen runs forward and makes no mistake this time. The Impact Sub for RCB has put them well ahead in the chase, as DDP walks back to a massive applause from the crowd, scoring 61 off just 26 balls.

Harsh Dubey To Devdutt Padikkal
SIX! Nothing lucky about this one! Flighted, full and on middle and leg. Devdutt Padikkal goes down on one knee and executes the slog sweep to perfection over the deep square leg fence for a biggie. That also brings up the 100-RUN STAND between these two batters.

Harshal Patel To Devdutt Padikkal
FOUR BYES! Oh, dear! Ishan Kishan is having a tough night with the gloves. Patel bashes the surface and bowls the off-cutter, outside off. Devdutt Padikkal flashes but does not connect. The ball goes towards Ishan on the bounce but he does not get low enough and the ball goes through his legs for a boundary.
7.4
4
Harshal Patel To Devdutt Padikkal
FOUR! Devdutt Padikkal brings up his FIFTY in style! It has been a knock of high class from the talented left-hander. An injury cut short his season last year, but he has started this season in an ideal fashion. Full ball from Patel from around the wicket. Devdutt knows that mid off is inside the circle, and he just lofts it effortlessly over that man for a boundary.
7.3

Harshal Patel To Virat Kohli
DROPPED! Heinrich Klaasen puts it down. A hand of apology straight away from Klaasen. Low full toss, on middle. Kohli does not go through the shot completely and checks his shot as he whips it towards long on. Heinrich stays back on the fence for far too long and does not realise that he needs to come in off the ropes. He eventually realises and puts in a dive, but does not manage to cling on. The batters cross over for a single.

Harshal Patel To Virat Kohli
Half a shout for caught behind! Turned down by the umpire and Ishan Kishan opts against the review. There was a noise but it seemed to come from the bat hitting the turf. Wide yorker, Kohli looks to jam it out but is beaten on the outside edge.

Eshan Malinga To Virat Kohli
After being hit for a six on the previous ball, Eshan digs it in short and takes pace off. Kohli gets his bat high and ends up bunting it down the strip. It looked too high and might have been called a wide had Kohli left it.
6.5

Eshan Malinga To Virat Kohli
SIX! Hold the pose, Virat! Cross-seam delivery, off-cutter, on a length, on middle. The ball does not grip the surface and just slides onto the bat. Kohli presents the full face of the blade and with a high elbow, he launches it towards the sight screen for a six.

FOUR! Carted away! Malinga hits the deck hard, across off. Devdutt Padikkal arches back and stays leg side to flay it behind point for a boundary. Virat Kohli likes it at the other end and has a smile on his face.
Strategic Break! Sunrisers Hyderabad needed this badly, as at the moment, RCB are running away with it. Devdutt Padikkal has been excellent and is batting at a strike rate of well over 200 here, while Virat Kohli is playing second fiddle. They have set the perfect platform for the chase, and SRH need wickets to get back in this game. Here is Eshan Malinga to bowl after the break. Strange that it took 6 overs to bring him into the attack.

FOUR! Dubey is greeted with a boundary! Floated up by Harsh, full and across off. With fine leg and square leg up inside the circle, Padikkal gets across his stumps and gets low to sweep it behind square leg for a boundary.
Time for spin as the left-arm finger spinner, Harsh Dubey comes into the attack.

Jaydev Unadkat To Phil Salt OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! Almost a bad collision, but Sunrisers Hyderabad get rid of the dangerous Phil Salt. Jaydev Unadkat strikes on his very first ball, and the crowd goes a bit silent here. He bowls this on a good length and around off, angling it away. Phil Salt tries to go over cover, but his bat turns in his hands and the ball just lobs up in the air. Heinrich Klaasen from mid off runs to his left, while Aniket Verma from cover moves to his right. Verma does not hear Klaasen's call and bumps into him, but Heinrich manages to hold on to the catch. Royal Challengers Bengaluru are 9/1, chasing 202 runs.
Jaydev Unadkat will operate from the other end. The left-arm seamer will begin from over the wicket. An interesting matchup against two right-handers.
