Pat Cummins' side climbed on the run mountain through their collective batting effort in the first inning at their home ground. RCB, batting second, started their innings on a good note through Venkatesh Iyer, who came as an opener tonight, in place of the injured Jacob Bethell.
Bengaluru’s top bowler in IPL 2026, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, had a rare bad day, conceding 51 runs in 4 overs without taking any wickets. Josh Hazewood turned out to be the most expensive bowler for them with an economy rate of 55 runs in 4 overs. Rasikh Salam, who claimed a brace, also conceded an economy rate of 13.00, which hints at how much the Pat Cummins team dominated the first innings.
Ishan Kishan and other Sunrisers batters were brilliant
To chase a massive target of over two hundred and fifty, RCB needed to bat with sheer intention. Apart from Venkatesh Iyer’s explosive 44 runs from 19 balls, none of the Bengaluru batters were able to match the required aggression during the chase. Krunal Pandya and captain Rajat Patidar created a long-standing partnership in the middle, but that was not enough to compete with the Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Pat Cummins praised both the batter and the bowlers
In the presentation ceremony, Pat Cummins, the captain of Sunrisers, praised his batters and bowlers. The Aussie pacer claimed that the way Eshan Malinga and Sakib Hussain bowled tonight was a pleasure to watch as the skipper of the team.
"So we threw a few different things at them, but it's still a big win. So, good. (On the bowling unit) They've been fantastic. I've actually learned a lot off those guys as well.The way Eshan has bowled all season, particularly in that powerplay. He's been the form bowler of the comp, kind of with his slow balls and his mixing up different things. And of course, Sakib there as well."
