Tillakaratne Dilshan also got out soon leaving RCB at 22/2 in 3.4 overs. Captain Virat Kohli along with Moises Henriques steadied the RCB innings but the duo could not excel the run rate. After the fall of Kohli, RCB could not gain momentum as wickets started to fell at regular intervals. Finally RCB managed to post 130/8 in allotted 20 overs.

Hyderabad needed another 50 to win from 38 balls and though wickets kept falling from other end but Hanuma Vihari was firm on one end and his knock of 44 runs off 46 balls ensured that the match ended in a tie.

Super over was played to get the result. Sunrisers batted first and posted a total of 20 thanks to Cameron White’s 2 sixes in the super over. RCB had Gayle and Kohli in the center and despite hitting one six and four, RCB felt short and were able to score just 15 runs.
