Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) won their second consecutive game after beating the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by six runs in the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the M. A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Wednesday.
RCB produced a monumental comeback with the ball after Shahbaz Ahmed struck thrice in one over and managed to defend a total of 149 against SRH.
At the halfway mark, SRH were 77 for one and were pacing the chase to perfection. David Warner, leading from the front, then notched up his 49th half-century in IPL.
RCB Skipper Kohli then handed the ball to Shahbaz Ahmed in the 17th over and it turned out to be a match-changing move as the left-arm spinner scalped three wickets in an over.
He dismissed Jonny Bairstow and Pandey on consecutive deliveries and then got Abdul Samad out on the final delivery, with all three batsmen attempting to clear the ropes.
Earlier, Glenn Maxwell (59) and Virat Kohli (33) helped RCB finish with 149 for eight from their 20 overs after they were put into bat.
Chief scores:
RCB: 149/8 in 20 overs (Glenn Maxwell 59, Virat Kohli 33, Jason Holder 3/30)
SRH: 143/9 in 20 overs (David Warner 54, Manish Pandey 38, Shahbaz Ahmed 3/7). (Agencies)
