Commentary
Royal Challengers Bangalore notched up their second win on the trot as they handed Sunrisers Hyderabad a crushing 67-run defeat at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday.
Playing in the afternoon match, RCB skipper Faf du Plessis opted to bat first. The Challengers lost former skipper Virat Kohli for a duck, his third golden duck this season. But it was a minor blip for RCB, as skipper du Plessis and Rajat Patidar put up a century stand to guide Challengers to a strong total.
RCB added 47 runs in the powerplay for the loss of 1 wicket. Skipper du Plessis scored his 25th IPL half-century off just 34 deliveries. Du Plessis and Patidar added 105 off 73 for the second wicket.
Suchit struck on his final over to remove Rajat Patidar for 48 off 38 to reduce RCB to 105/2 in 12.2 overs
A superb finish by Dinesh Karthik saw RCB to reach 192/3. Karthik, who was dropped on 8 by Tripathi and it went for a six, hammered Farooqi in the final over, hitting three maximums and a boundary.
In reply, RCB bowlers handed them a dream start as a direct hit at the keeper's end saw SRH skipper Kane Williamson run out on the very first ball. Opener Abhishek Sharma followed his skipper back quickly as Maxwell reduced SRH to 1/2 at the end of one over.
Wanindu Hasaranga handed RCB the big wicket of Aiden Markram as he was picked up by Virat Kohli at deep midwicket. Despite a half-century by Tripathi, SRH kept losing wickets as they fell to their fourth consecutive loss. Hasaranga led the bowling attack for the Challengers with a lethal 5/18, to bowl SRH out for 125.

IPL 2022 playoff aspirants Sunrisers Hyderabad will look to bounce back when they face southern rivals Royal Challengers Bangalore in today's first match at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
Both teams will battle to stay in contention for playoff spots. Kane Williamson's SRH are on a three-match losing streak following their recent 21-run loss to Delhi Capitals and will look to stop the slide with an aim to keep their playoffs spot intact.
Faf du Plessis-led RCB, on the other hand, head into the match on the back of a 13-run victory over Chennai Super Kings and will also look to start an unbeaten run as they aim to consolidate their position in the top four.
However, the Bangalore-based side will be aware of the result in the reverse fixture, where they were bundled out by SRH pacers for a paltry 68 - the lowest total of the season so far.
SRH also hold a 12-8 lead when it comes to head-to-head battles with RCB in IPL. This will be their first meeting at Wankhede Stadium, where RCB have the better record compared to SRH.

SRH: Abhishek Sharma, Kane Williamson (captain), Rahul Tripathi, Aiden Markram, Nicholas Pooran (wicketkeeper), Shashank Singh, Marco Jansen, Shreyas Gopal, Bhuvenshwar Kumar, T Natarajan/Kartik Tyagi, Umran Malik.
