That's it from us early on Sunday morning. Be back in 15 hours with the coverage of the first game tomorrow between the Gujarat Lions and the Kings XI Punjab. See you, good night.
Warner said, "You never know what's a good total here, especially playing against the RCB. Credit to the bowlers, we got the 3 major wickets. We set out to try getting a 100 run partnership, Kane and I, great that he came in and played the anchor role. Great that Moises has done so well as well. Love the crowd here in Hyderabad".
Kohli said, "Just not good enough on the night. The Sunrisers played really good cricket today. David was magnificent and Kane provided great support. We lacked execution with the ball and that cost us again. 195 was too much on this wicket and gave the bowlers a chance. All our wickets felt at an important time. I'm not too very about the batting, more about the bowling. Somedays you have your luck, you have to take things in your stride, come out better the next time you play".
Sunrisers win by 15 runs. There are a few glaring weaknesses in this RCB setup as they lose another encounter in this year's IPL. While so far, their bowling attack has been under the spotlight, today their batting line up also comes under focus for not having great depth. Once Kohli collapsed, all hope was on AB, who never really got going today. But once he departed, there was no one to step up and steer the team home. For the Sunrisers, it was a decent bowling performance with everyone chipping in and doing their job. As long as Warner keeps going, this Sunrisers unit is one to watch out for.
19.6 Bhuvaneshwar Kumar to Parvez Rasool, OUT, on a length, Rasool slogs it, gets the outside edge, skies it and Henriques takes the catch at deep mid-wicket !
17.2 Ashish Nehra to Kedar Jadhav, SIX, full ball on off stump, Jadhav swats at it and plays it towards deep midwicket, Henriques makes a heroic attempt, gets a hand on it but can't hold on.
17.1 Ashish Nehra to Sachin Baby, OUT, full toss again, Baby goes for the slog, the ball hit the splice of the bat and goes up, Dhawan runs in from long on and latches on to the catch. Final nail in the coffin one would reckon. Baby departs after a good innings, impressed playing quite a few good shots.
16.4 Mustafizur Rahman to Sachin Baby, FOUR, full toss, carved away over point! High full toss and Baby does well to generate the power to carve it away.
15.1 Bhuvaneshwar Kumar to Sachin Baby, FOUR, on a length, Baby bends low and scoops the ball over the keeper! Excellent, will need plenty more of this.
14.4 Barinder Sran to AB de Villiers, OUT, good length ball, AB mistimes it and Williamson runs around at long on and holds on to the catch! Massive wicket considering the context of the game, RCB's hopes were all pinged on AB to get them home. Barinder Sran v AB de Villiers chapter 3: AB skies the ball, the fielder actually takes a catch. Sran deserves this wicket! Has been all over AB today.
