Royal Challengers Bangalore Form

After losing three matches on the bounce, the Challengers suffered a devastating loss to the Mumbai Indians.

The Challengers scored an impressive 196/8 off their 20 overs, with Faf du Plessis (61 off 40 balls), Rajat Patidar (50 off 26 balls) and Dinesh Karthik (53* off 23 balls) all contributing brilliant innings.

Mumbai raced to the win with 4.3 overs to spare. Vijaykumar Vyshak (1/32, econ 10.66) proving the most economical of the hard-hit Challengers bowlers.

With the Challengers batters starting to find some form, it’s now up to their bowlers to tighten up against their opposition top-order batters.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Form

The Sunrisers bounced back from a seven-wicket loss to the Titans to win their next two matches on the bounce, beating the Punjab Kings in their last match in a last-ball thriller.

The Sunrisers smashed 182/9 off their 20 overs, Nitish Kumar Reddy (64 off 37 balls) hitting five sixes in a brutal innings.

The Kings were struggling at 20/3 in the fifth over before they got back on track, only to fall two runs short of their target. Bhuvneshwar Kumar (2/32) and Pat Cummins (1/22, econ 5.50) the best of the Sunrisers bowlers.
