IPL 2024, SRH Vs RCB Highlights: Du Plessis & Co. Deliver An 'UNO Reverse' Moment; Silence Cummins At Home

SRH vs RCB: Goodbye!

So, it was RCB's day at Hyderabad today and with that they have kept their slim hopes of qualifying for the playoffs alive. Those chances are really, really slim though but they live to fight another day. For SRH, this could be a big wake-up call and let's see how both these teams shape up in the coming matches.

It's a wrap up from our side as well, this is Aashay Chopade, signing off on behalf of Anurag Dasgupta and our dedicated OneCricket family. Cheers!

Rajat Patidar is the Player of the Match for his fantastic 19-ball fifty!

SRH vs RCB Live Score: Match Summary!

A convincing win for RCB and it was a complete team performance where almost everyone contributed. Faf du Plessis won an important toss and Rajat Patidar with his scintillating fifty took the game on. Kohli also scored a fifty but was bit slow but Green made sure that they cross 200 despite Unadkat and Natarajan bowling quite well on a slowish pitch. In reply, SRH never got going and ended up losing four wickets in the Powerplay. They played way too many shots and kept losing wickets and eventually fell short by 35 runs. Swapnil Singh, Karn Sharma and Cameron Green all picked two wickets each and with this win, RCB have ended their six-match losing streak.

SRH vs RCB Live Score: RCB Win By 35 Runs!

RCB have demolished SRH at their own backyard! A complete performance this, and this win would surely give them some confidence going ahead in the tournament. They have outplayed one of the strongest teams of this season and all RCB fans would be hoping that this win is just the start and they continue to get better from hereon.

SRH vs RCB Live Score: So, RCB Are All Set To End Their Losing Run!

43 needed off the final over and Yash Dayal the man who gave away 30 runs in the final over against Rinku Singh in IPL 2023, just need to bowl six legal deliveries here. It doesn't matter whether he gets hit for five or six sixes 

SRH vs RCB Live Score: King Kohli Finally Has Something To Smile In RCB's Jersey!

SRH vs RCB Live Score: Bhuvi Departs, RCB Just 2 Wickets Away!

Another one bites the dust! Cameron Green gets his second and Bhuvneshwar departs to leave SRH reeling at 141-8.

SRH vs RCB Live Score: Can Ex-RCBian Shahbaz Ahmed Take This Game Deep?

SRH need 75 off 30 balls and look down and out but Shahbaz Ahmed is a quality batter and you can never rule out surprises against RCB 

SRH vs RCB Live Score: Cummins Falls; No Stopping RCB Today!

Cameron Green strikes now and gets rid of SRH skipper. Cummins goes for a big shot but fails to get his execution right as Siraj at deep backward point grabs a fine catch.

SRH vs RCB Live Score: Kavya Maran Summing-Up SRH Fans Mood!

SRH vs RCB Live Score: Will Pat Cummins Spoil Kohli's Party Again?

The SRH captain is off to a flier. He is a clean-hitter of the ball and he is showing that today with some mighty good hitting. The question is, how long can he continue?

SRH vs RCB Live Score: This Is RCB's Day, Folks!

Things are going downhill for SRH pretty quickly. Karn Sharma gets his second wicket and just like his senior teammates, Abdul Samad has thrown away his wicket. This is surely a day to rejoice if you are a RCB fan.

SRH vs RCB Live Score: RCB Fans Right Now!

SRH vs RCB: TIMBER! SRH Falling Apart At Hyderabad!

The poor shot selection from SRH batters continue! This is a bizarre shot from Nitish Reddy with his team four down. He goes for an audacious reverse-sweep and ends up getting cleaned up much to the delight of RCB fans assembled in the den of Orange Army.

SRH vs RCB Live Score: Live By The Sword, Die By The Sword!

Klaasen falls after hitting a six off the previous delivery. SRH camp look stunned and this hit out or get out strategy of SRH is going completely wrong tonight. Klaasen tries to hit another one into the crowd but ends up miscuing it and SRH are four down inside the Powerplay.

SRH vs RCB: What Have You Done Mr. Markram?

The stylish right-handed gets LBW off a full toss! Things are not going SRH way today and RCB have got off to a perfect start with three wickets in the Powerplay against the team that has absolutely dominated the phase with the bat this season.

SRH vs RCB Live Score: The Abhishek Sharma Counter-Attack Ends!

Yash Dayal has got rid of the dangerous Abhishek Sharma and RCB are right on top now. A fullish delivery, around off and Sharma tried to heave it towards the leg side. He ends up getting a top edge though and Dinesh Karthik settles under it to take it safely. A big, big wicket this!

SRH vs RCB Live Score: RCB And Loyalty - A Never-Ending Love Story!

SRH vs RCB Live Score: 100th Six For SRH In IPL 2024!

Here goes Abhishek Sharma! The man has been in stellar form this season, and he has started the counter-attack here. He is a young bold cricketer and has fittingly hit the 100th six for SRH in this 17th edition of IPL.

SRH vs RCB Live Score: This Is A Big Test For SRH!

RCB have removed  the dangerous Travis Head and it would be interesting to see how the SRH batting line-up reacts under scoreboard pressure now.

SRH Vs RCB Live Score: What just happened? 🫣

Travis Head departs in the first over itself. This is something we have not seen in IPL this season. The decision to bring in Will Jacks in the first over works wonders for Faf and RCB. Is this the day when the SRH reign of terror ends?

SRH vs RCB Live Score: We are all set for the run-chase!

Faf du Plessis and co. are out in the middle and outwalk the dynamic duo of Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma. Can they go berserk in the Powerplay again? Let's find out....

SRH Vs RCB Live Score: Faf's army score 206/7

A brilliant display of bowling from the Sunrisers and Pat Cummins will be rather happy with how his bowlers delivered. RCB started like a bullet train, and were well on their course for a huge total. Kohli and du Plessis started the assault, but the Red Army slowed down in the middle overs as Kohli struggled for runs and the boundaries died up for him.

Patidar, looked like a man possessed as he hammered the SRH bowlers and took them to the cleaners. He struck four sixes in a row to Markande and brought up his fifty in 19 balls. The finishing touches were provided by Cameron Green as he remained unbeaten on 37 off 20 and helped RCB cross the 200-run mark

SRH Vs RCB Live Score: Green Vs Cummins 😎

SRH Vs RCB Live Score: 200 UP FOR RCB!

At one stage, RCB were all set to score in excess of 230, but they slowed down in the middle. However, Cameron Green's assault meant that they have managed to cross the 200-run mark with an over to spare.

SRH Vs RCB Live Score: DK is a goner 🥲

Another slower ball and another one bites the dust. Seems like SRH bowlers have done their homework and have used the slower deliveries to perfection. Cummins bowls a shorter and slower ball and DK finds the man in the deep.

SRH Vs RCB Live Score: Green targets his Aussie teammate!

SRH Vs RCB Live Score: Everything rests on DK's shoulders

Everything rests on DK's shoulders now. Arguably one of the best finishers in IPL at the moment, he need to play another blinder to make sure RCB reach a respectable total against a rampant SRH batting unit.

SRH Vs RCB Live Score: Unadkat gets another one 😍

Another slower ball and another wicket for Unadkat. Another big one in the context of the match. Lomror looked to go for the big shot, but the power was missing in his attempted shot. RCB crumbling...

SRH Vs RCB Live Score: Relive Patidar's magic Vs Orange Army

SRH Vs RCB Live Score: There Goes Kohli to pavilion 😪

A disappointing knock comes to an end. Unadkat's slower bouncer does the trick as Kohli finds the deep square leg fielder with his attempted pull. He departs for a pain-staking 51 off 43 balls.

SRH Vs RCB Live Score: Kohli knows it 👀

SRH Vs RCB Live Score: Kohli gets to his 50!

A slow innings, but Kohli reaches yet another fifty in IPL 2024 season. The job is only half done yet. He has to carry the bat till the end to make sure RCB reach a commanding total.

SRH Vs RCB Live Score: Patidar's innings ends 🥺

He was going for the big shot and perishes while trying to clear the deep square leg region. The fielder takes a simple catch. Nonetheless, a stupendous innings ends as the entire RCB stand on their feet to applause Patidar's brilliance.

SRH Vs RCB Live Score: Patidar brings up a stunning fifty!

Consecutive half-century for Patidar. He started the tournament on a slow note, but has started to pick up the pace in the last couple of matches. Patidar 2.0 is here. 19-ball fifty for the RCB superstar..

SRH Vs RCB Live Score: Patidar is in some mood today 😎

SRH Vs RCB Live Score: Kohli struggling....

After a blazing start in the power-play, boundaries have dried up for King Kohli. While Patidar is taking down the attack with ease, Kohli is dealing in singles at the moment.

SRH Vs RCB Live Score: No stopping Patidar today!!

6, 6, 6, 6! Patidar on a roll. He has taken down Markande as the SRH spinner looks clueless. Class batting. 4 in a row, can he strike 6 sixes?? 😍

SRH Vs RCB Live: Patidar on a roll!!!!

The RCB batter has raced away to 20 in no time. He has played some delightful strokes and has taken the pressure off Virat Kohli. RCB need big hits if they are to reach 200 and Patidar could be the man today for them.

SRH Vs RCB Live Score: Kohli takes down Nattu!!

SRH Vs RCB Live Score: Markande strikes 👀

The pressure was building on RCB after a couple of singles, Will Jacks perishes after a slow knock. Markande once again with a disguised leg-break and the stumps shattered as Jacks misses his slog sweep.

SRH Vs RCB Live Score: Faf dejected after his wicket

SRH Vs RCB Live Score: Virat Kohli, take a bow 🙏

He plays a sumptuous shot to stun T Natarajan. Length ball and he hammers it straight down the ground for a MAXIMUMMM! SRH need to take his wicket ASAP..

SRH Vs RCB Live Score: Faf is a goner!! 😱

After giving a flying start, Faf du Plessis departs, trying to hit a big one. He miscues the slog as the ball goes high and straight into the hands of the extra cover fielder. The RCB skipper has done his job and the others need to chip in now. Will Jacks comes in,,,

SRH Vs RCB Live Score: Is this RCB's day?

The two openers have given a solid start and are giving SRH a taste of their own medicine. Is this a sign that a big total is on the cards?

SRH Vs RCB Live Score: King on the charge!!

Brilliant, brilliant batting by King Kohli! He takes down SRH skipper Pat Cummins with ease. First with his trademark flick shot and then he stepped down to take him over covers. Is this King Kohli's day?

SRH Vs RCB Live Score: Expensive over by Bhuvi!

He goes for 14 in his first over, with Faf targeting him nicely. The RCB skipper ended the over with two back-to-back boundaries as the scoreboard moves quickly.

SRH Vs RCB Live Score: Faf with classical boundary!!

Little bit of width offered by Bhuvi and Faf is off and running with a classical punch off the back-foot. This will give him more confidence.

SRH Vs RCB Live Score: King off the mark with a boundary!!

Poor delivery from Abhishek. Down the leg and Virat flicks it down the leg side to kick-start the innings with a boundary. Brilliant start for RCB

SRH Vs RCB Live Score: Let the gameeeee beginnnnn!!

The two umpires have made their way out. Virat Kohli comes out to a loud ovation as he opens alongside Faf. RCB need to win this contest to mathematically stay alive in IPL playoff race. Smart decision from Pat Cummins. Abhishek Sharma to open Vs the two right-handers. The countdown begins and we are ready to roll.

SRH Vs RCB Live Score: What transpired at the toss??

SRH Vs RCB Live Score: The ideal total on this surface? 👀

With SRH in front, no total is safe. RCB need to score in excess of 200, considering the fact that the wicket is a belter. Anything less than 220 will be a losing total. The big guns need to fire with the bat for RCB.

SRH Vs RCB Live Score: Here are the playing XIs

SRH Vs RCB Live Score: Blast from the past

The last time these two teams met in Hyderabad, Virat Kohli slammed a majestic century which propelled RCB to victory. Will the King reign supreme once again?

SRH Vs RCB Live Score: Team changes!

RCB going in with the same team that featured against KKR. Just one change for SRH - Jaydev Unadkat comes in place of Washington Sundar 

SRH Vs RCB Live Score: Toss Update

RCB won the toss and Faf du Plessis is happy to bat first....

SRH Vs RCB Live Score: Toss set to take place in 5 minutes. Who will win the toss? Bat first or bowl first? 🤔

SRH Vs RCB Live Score: Bhuvi to trouble Kohli?

Interestingly, while Virat Kohli has dominated Bhuvneshwar Kumar in IPL, the swing bowler has also dismissed him 4 times. Kohli has scored 128 runs in 89 balls against Bhuvi, with a strike-rate of 143.8

SRH Vs RCB Live Score: Cummins ready to silence RCB 🤫

SRH Vs RCB Live Score: today's pitch will be the same which was used when SRH piled on 277 Vs MI. RCB bowlers, beware! This will be a tough test for the bowlers from both the teams.

SRH Vs RCB Live Score: Stat attack 👊

This is Pat Cummins' 50th match in IPL. The Orange Army leader has been exceptional this season and will look to cap off the evening with another victory, which will strengthen their position in top-2.

SRH Vs RCB Live Score: Darr ka mahol hai 😰

SRH Vs RCB Live Score: Pitch report

Expect a flat track when the game commences at the Uppal stadium. Batting paradise do benefit SRH and if the last couple of matches at this stadium is anything to go by, then we can expect another 200+ total on the cards.

The bowlers will find it hard on this surface and the batters will enjoy stroke-making, and this will eventually alter the game-plan of both the teams.

SRH Vs RCB Live Score: Head to head stats

The two teams have squared off 23 times against each other, with SRH having the upper hand, winning 13 encounters. They won the last meeting as well and will be oozing with confidence after what happened in Bengaluru...

SRH Vs RCB Live Score: RCB Set to play their 250th IPL match 

SRH Vs RCB Live Score: Trav-Shek ready to hammer RCB

SRH Vs RCB Live Score: King ready to roar!

Team Previews

Royal Challengers Bengaluru

RCB are almost eliminated from IPL 2024. The team can only mathematically qualify for the playoffs, but even that depends on the other results. Barring Virat Kohli and Dinesh Karthik, the batting has failed to deliver the goods and the bowlers have leaked runs for fun.

Glenn Maxwell's form also hasn't done wonders for the side, with the middle-order looking thin. The team needs to win their remaining matches and hope the other results go in their favour.

Team Previews

Sunrisers Hyderabad

What a season this has been for the former IPL champions. The team has been transformed under the leadership of Pat Cummins and SRH look a different unit altogether. Their no mercy approach against the opposition bowlers has been brilliant and it won't be a disappointing statement to say that SRH have been the most destructive batting unit of IPL 2024.

Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma form a deadly opening pair and the arrival of Heinrich Klaasen boosts their batting in the middle-order. The bowling looks a touch weak, and that's the area of concern for the Pat Cummins team.

Abki baar 300 paar? Well, who knew that even 300 is a possibility in a T20 game. But such has been SRH's dominance in this edition of IPL, that every-time they step onto the field, people expect them to score a big total. This time they face a stuttering RCB bowling attack, and when RCB is bowling, anything is possible. Hi everyone, welcome everyone to yet another OneCricket Live Blog.

Today is a big day for RCB. They lose and they'll be officially eliminated from the IPL 2024. Can they dent SRH's winning run? Or will SRH run riot? This is Anurag Dasgupta and I'll be joined by Aashay Chopade as we bring you all the updates from this thrilling day of cricket.
