With that win, Sunrisers remain in eighth place with four points, while Royals remained in 6th position with 8 points from 10 matches. Despite the defeat, Royals still remain in the play-off race along with three other sides, who are all on 8 points.

Electing to bat, skipper Samson top-scored for the Royals with his 82-run knock while pacer Siddarth Kaul (2/36) took two wickets for SRH.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Sandeep Sharma and Rashid Khan also took a wicket apiece for SRH, who are already out of reckoning for the play-offs.

In response to Royals 164/5, Sunrisers openers Wriddhiman Saha and Roy got their team off to a fast start before the former departed in the 6th over for 18 off 11 balls.
