Finally a win after 6 games for the RCB! 🔴😮‍💨

A brilliant team performance to register their second win of the IPL 2024 season. 👏

It was a complete all-round performance by the RCB to break their 6-game losing streak! 🔴💪

A morale-boosting victory for the team 🔴💪

Earlier, the Faf du Plessis-led visiting side won the toss and scored a par 206 for 7, thus setting a 207-run target for Hyderabad's explosive batting unit, which has already broken some IPL batting records this season. However, the hosts could only score 171 for eight.

Indian batting superstar Virat Kohli, still the holder of the Orange Cap, hit a sluggish 43-ball 51 and stitched a 48-run opening partnership with Plessis, who fell after hitting 12-ball 25. However, it was Rajat Patidar's fiery 20-ball 50 propelled Bengaluru to the big total.

In response, Hyderabad's openers, Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma failed to build a partnership. The Aussie fell in the very first over, scoring just 1, to spinner Will Jacks, and Sharma hit 13-ball 31 before he departed in the fourth over to leave Sunrisers at 2-37. Karn and Swapnil took three key middle-order wickets - Aiden Markram (7), Nitish Kumar Reddy (13), and Heinrich Klaasen (7) - to leave Hyderabad at 5-69 in the eighth over of the chase.

With this match, Hyderabad stays third, equal on 10 points with Kolkata Knight Riders and Lucknow Super Giants, whereas Bengaluru stays 10th with four points in the points table.

With 9 GAMES. 7 LOSSES. 2 WINS. 🔴

Can RCB still qualify from here? 🤯
