IPL Highlights, SRH vs RCB Highlights: SunRisers Hyderabad Beat Royal Challengers Bangalore By 118 Runs
IPL 2019, SunRisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bangalore Highlights: David Warner and Jonny Bairstow both scored centuries at the top of the order.
SunRisers Hyderabad registered a massive 118-run victory against Royal Challengers Bangalore in Sunday's afternoon game at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. RCB captain Virat Kohli won the toss and opted to bowl. However, this turned out to backfire as SRH openers David Warner and Jonny Bairstow exploded at the beginning of the innings itself. The duo created several batting records on way to their 185-run stand. Both Bairstow and Warner scored centuries. Chasing a mammoth 232 for victory, RCB lost the plot very early on. Afghanistan's Mohammed Nabi, playing his first match this season, tore through the RCB batting order, picking up 4 wickets for 11 runs in his four overs. Colin de Grandhomme put up a 37-run resistance, but this was only good enough to delay the inevitable defeat. SRH now have two wins in three matches and are at the top of the table. RCB are yet to register a win after three games in IPL 2019. (SCORECARD)

Thank you for joining the live coverage of this match. Please head over to our coverage of the Chennai Super Kings vs Rajasthan Royals match, which we hope will be a more even contest than the one we saw here. Bye!
If there was any doubt after the Warner-Bairstow onslaught as to which way this match would go, Nabi's early wickets effectively finished this match within the powerplay overs itself.
Everything happened in that ball. Both batsmen run out, on both ends. Also a no ball called. So a free hit coming up. De Grandhomme has to go. Out for 37. RCB 109/9.
That might well be the most convincing shot in this innings. Gone to the second tier, that one. Umesh opened the batting for Vidarbha in a T20 match recently. RCB 95/7 after 16 overs.
Hits Rashid Khan for four. Diving effort from Manish Pandey. Stretched out his hand but just failed to reach it. Would have been a sensational catch. De Grandhomme on 31.
Four runs from that over by Siddharth Kaul. De Grandhomme and Ray Barman are at the crease, not looking too concerned by the required run rate. Just for mathematical reasons, RCB need 192 runs in 66 balls.
Some welcome runs for RCB. Shivam Dube and Colin de Grandhomme in the middle. Must be said, it looks like they can only delay the inevitable here. RCB 35/5 after 6.5 overs.
Could be another wicket here. Man of the moment Nabi says he thinks they've got their man. And yes, Moeen Ali is miles out of his crease. The RCB disaster continues. 30/5.
