Sunrisers Hyderabad defeated Royal Challengers Bengaluru by 55 runs at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Friday, May 22. Chasing a huge 256-run target, Bengaluru managed only 200/4 in their 20 overs. However, the Hyderabad-based team remained in third place due to their net run rate (NRR).
The delivery went so high that the on-field umpire called it a wide, forcing Krunal to bowl again. Despite the unusual bouncer surprising the crowd, the all-rounder dismissed Heinrich Klaasen in the same over. He finished with figures of 1/24 in his two-over spell.

Krunal has developed new variations to trouble aggressive batters in T20 cricket. The left-arm spinner often uses the crease smartly and bowls from behind the popping crease to confuse batters. He also mixes his regular spin with quicker deliveries and short bouncers to catch opponents off guard.

Big Win for Sunrisers Hyderabad, But Qualifier 1 Spot Still Out of Reach
During the tough chase, Royal Challengers Bengaluru looked focused on protecting their top position in the league standings and stopping Hyderabad from reaching Qualifier 1. The visitors batted carefully to avoid major damage to their net run rate despite the huge target and rising required run rate.
The 55-run win secured a top-three finish for SRH in the playoffs race. RCB, Gujarat Titans (GT), and SRH have confirmed the top three spots in the points table. Meanwhile, Punjab Kings (PBKS), Rajasthan Royals (RR), and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) remain in the race for fourth place.
