IPL 2022: RCB vs SRH Review – Bangalore collapse for 68 against Hyderabad
Sunrisers Hyderabad produced a bowling exhibition against the Royal Challengers Bangalore and won the game by a massive margin of nine wickets with 12 overs left. Chasing a relatively small total, Abhishek Sharma played beautiful shots and got to 47 in no time while Kane Williamson was happy to take his time. With the win, SRH have moved into the second position in the points table and have improved their net run rate massively.
After losing the toss, Royal Challengers Bangalore did not have the best of starts losing wickets in a bundle inside the powerplay. Marco Jansen started the assault, picking up three wickets in an over and T Natarajan continued to strangle the RCB batting lineup after that. In the end, 68 was all RCB could manage as they were completely off the track.
Top Performers of the game
T Natarajan
T Natarajan continued his impressive form this season and picked up the big wicket of Glenn Maxwell to ensure that SRH were on top of the game. The left-arm seamer cleaned up the tail with some brilliant deliveries and had an outstanding economy rate of 3.33. He finished with 3 for 10 in his three overs and has moved into the second position in the race for the purple cap.
Marco Jansen
Marco Jansen produced an amazing bowling spell with the new ball as he swung the ball both ways and managed to pick up three wickets in his very first over. The left-arm all tall quick removed the top three RCB batters, Anuj Rawat, Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli in the same over and gave the perfect start for the SRH side. He finished with 3 for 25 in his four overs.
