IPL 2018, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) vs Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at Hyderabad, latest update and cricket score: Brilliant bowling by Bhuvneshwar in the last over of the innings, helping SRH pull off a victory from the jaws of defeat! Neither Colin de Grandhomme nor Mandeep Singh are able to connect thanks to the tight lines and lengths from Bhuvi, with only six runs being collected off the over and the wicket of De Grandhomme. Sunrisers Hyderabad win by 5 runs, and continue to occupy the top slot in the IPL points table with their eighth win! Preview: Table-toppers Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) take on sixth-placed Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the 39th match of ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL). SRH have had a strong run in the ongoing season so far, with Kane Williamson taking over the leadership at the outset of the 11th edition of the league following David Warner’s removal from the post following the Sandpapergate fallout. Their latest victory came against the struggling Delhi Daredevils (DD), beating them by seven wickets. [caption id=“attachment_4459413” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]  Kane Williamson and Virat Kohli, the two captains. Sportzpics[/caption] RCB, on the other hand, have found themselves struggling to stave off the possibility of finishing last in the league for a second consecutive season. The Virat Kohli-led side registered their second loss of the season to the MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) when they failed to defend a modest 128-run target, losing by six wickets. A win would very well make SRH the first team to qualify for the playoffs this season, with the result also all but ending Kohli’s hopes of seeing his team in the top four. Squads: Sunrisers Hyderabad: Kane Williamson (Captain), Shikhar Dhawan, Manish Pandey, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Wriddhiman Saha, Siddharth Kaul, Deepak Hooda, Khaleel Ahmed, Sandeep Sharma, Yusuf Pathan, Shreevats Goswami, Ricky Bhui, Basil Thampi, T Natarajan, Sachin Baby, Bipul Sharma, Mehdi Hasan, Tanmay Agarwal, Alex Hales, Carlos Brathwaite, Rashid Khan, Shakib Al Hasan, Mohammad Nabi and Chris Jordan. Royal Challengers Bangalore: Virat Kohli (Captain), Quinton de Kock, Brendon McCullum, AB de Villiers, Sarfaraz Khan, Mandeep Singh, Chris Woakes, Washington Sundar, Umesh Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Colin de Grandhomme, Moeen Ali, Pawan Negi, Mohammed Siraj, Corey Anderson, Parthiv Patel, Tim Southee.
