Sunrisers Hyderabad defeated Royal Challengers Bengaluru by 25 runs in an IPL 2024 match earlier tonight at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. It was a run-fest as SRH scored 287 runs in 20 overs. In reply, the home side gave it a great go but fell short by 25 runs.

RCB skipper Faf du Plessis won the toss and decided to bowl first. The decision worked against the home team as a quickfire ton from Travis Head powered the Orange Army to 287/3 in their 20 overs.

Chasing 288 for a victory, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru finished with 262/7 in 20 overs. Dinesh Karthik smashed an incredible 35-ball 83, but his efforts went in vain.
