SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) registered a thumping win against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) after bowling them out for just 68 runs in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 on Saturday after Gujarat Titans beat Kolkata Knight Riders by eight runs in a thrilling contest. Hardik Pandya's third consecutive half-century saw GT register a total of 156/9, while Andre Russell took four wickets for just five runs in an incredible 20th over. However, KKR faltered in their chase and Russell's 25-ball 48 was not enough to take them over the line. Then, Marco Jansen's incredible over where he dismissed RCB's top three aided by T Natarajan taking three wickets of his own helped SRH dismiss RCB for the sixth-lowest total in IPL history. Abhishek Sharma then smashed 47 off 28 as SRH made short work of the chase, winning by nine wickets in eight overs.
