हैदराबाद vs बेंगलुरू, , Indian Premier League, 2026

Suyash Sharma to Abhishek Sharma, OUT! CAUGHT! Same batter, same bowler, same fielder and this time, Jordan Cox makes no mistake. Suyash Sharma serves a tossed-up googly around middle and leg. Abhishek Sharma skips down the pitch, stays leg side of the ball and looks to tower it over long off. Sharma gets it off the toe end of the bat and the ball goes high up towards long off. The substitute fielder, Jordan Cox takes a solid catch and Sharma departs after scoring a half-century.

Rasikh Salam to Travis Head, OUT! BOWLED'EM! Rasikh Salam has the last laugh here. He comes around the wicket and delivers the perfect yorker, landing right on the popping crease. Travis Head makes room but before he can get his bat down, the ball does through to rattle the base of the middle stump. Salam is absolutely pumped up and gives a bit of a send-off to the Aussie. SRH are 45/1.

Rasikh Salam to Ishan Kishan, OUT! CAUGHT! Yes, he can. An excellent final over and Rasikh Salam wraps it up with a wicket. Sunrisers Hyderabad finish on a massive 255/4. This is a low full toss, outside off again, Ishan Kishan once again tries to reach out for it but loses his balance and mistimes his lofted shot high up in the air. Devdutt Padikkal at long off moves forward, keeps his eyes on the ball and takes a good catch.

Krunal Pandya to Heinrich Klaasen, OUT! TAKEN! Fifty and out for Heinrich Klaasen. Krunal Pandya gets a massive wicket at an important time for RCB. He bowls this with the low-arm action, full and on middle, angling in. Klaasen stays back and looks to heave it away, but his bat turns in his hand. It flies off the inside half of the bat towards deep mid-wicket, where Venkatesh Iyer runs in, gets down on both knees and takes a good catch.

Eshan Malinga to Venkatesh Iyer, OUT! TAKEN! Eshan Malinga gets a crucial breakthrough, bringing in some joy for the Orange Army. Malinga bangs this hard into the pitch, on middle at 138.8 kph. Venkatesh Iyer puts his weight on the back foot and looks to swat it away but the ball gets big on him. He ends up mistiming the shot high in the air towards deep mid-wicket, where Abhishek Sharma comes charging in from the ropes and takes a fine sliding catch. End of a fiery knock from Iyer, and RCB are 60/1, chasing 256 runs.

Sakib Hussain to Virat Kohli, OUT​! Kohli is caught! Sakib Hussain sticks to his strength and removes Virat Kohli from the middle. Another slower one, at 115 kph, around off, a touch closer to the off stump this time. Virat Kohli looks to smash this up and over the fielder at covers but fails to get right underneath it and hits this powerfully but straight into the hands of Ravichandran Smaran. The in-ring fielder takes it nice and easy around his shoulders to send Kohli back. 182 needed off 85 balls, and RCB are under pressure despite a rollicking start. 

Eshan Malinga to Devdutt Padikkal, OUT! CAUGHT! Well, the boundaries dried up and this was always on the cards with RCB chasing 256. A pace on, fuller delivery around middle and leg, Devdutt Padikkal picks it up with a flick and hits this straight into the hands of Abhishek Sharma at the deep mid-wicket fence. Sharma moves in from the fence a few steps and settles himself well underneath it to grab hold of it. RCB are 94 for 3.

Travis Head to Rajat Patidar, OUT! CAUGHT! Head-master, at it with the ball this time. Not a great delivery though. Short of a length, spinning into the batter. Rajat Patidar rocks back and heaves it. Gets more elevation than distance and the ball has gone straight into the hands of Ravichandran Smaran at the deep square leg fence.
