He signs off with match-winning figures of 4-1-18-5! SRH need 79 off 18.

OUT! And now Hasaranga’s on a hattrick! Appeals for an LBW right away after hitting Malik on the front pad bang in front of middle, and this time the umpire raises his finger.

SRH need 82 off 30.

OUT! Hasaranga makes up for the dropped catch in the previous over by getting Suchith stumped in his third over. Suchith looked to heave this towards the leg side, but was beaten by the googly, and is also out of his crease by the time keeper DK whips the bails off. SRH 104/5

The SRH No 3 batter is later dropped on 55 by Hasaranga at deep cover, the Sri Lankan spilling a simple chance much to the bowler’s and former captain Kohli’s frustration. Du Plessis, though, puts his arm around the Sri Lankan all-rounder to reassure him. 10 runs from the over. SRH need 90 off 36.

SIX! What a way for Rahul Tripathi to bring up his half-century in 32 deliveries. It’s his second half-century of the season and his ninth overall in the league. Goes for a lofted drive over the extra cover region at the start of Siraj’s third over. SRH 99/4

After 13 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 93/4 ( Rahul Tripathi 48 , Jagadeesha Suchith 2)

IPL 2022, SRH vs RCB Live Score: Excellent over from Hasaranga; not only does he get rid of the dangerous Pooran at the start of the over, but gives away just four off it to build further pressure on the Sunrisers. SRH need exactly 100 to win in seven overs with six wickets left.

IPL 2022, SRH vs RCB Live Score: OUT! Second wicket of the innings for Hasaranga, and this time he gets rid of the dangerous Pooran, who’s played a couple of blinders this season.

After 12 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 89/3 ( Rahul Tripathi 46 , Nicholas Pooran (W) 19)

Tripathi then produces a gorgeous lofted drive down the ground in the next delivery, collecting his sixth four in the process. Patel attempts an off-cutter two balls later that ends up being a waist-high full toss, though the square leg umpire doesn’t indicate that to be a no-ball for some reason. SIX!

Seven runs and a wicket off the Sri Lankan leggie’s first.

OUT! Hasaranga breaks the third-wicket stand in just his second delivery of the day, as Markram holes out to Kohli stationed right in front of the midwicket boundary. The South African was hoping to collect his second maximum, but didn’t quite time it. This right after the partnership with Tripathi breached the 50-mark. Umpire signals timeout after the dismissal. SRH 51/3

After 2 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 3/2 ( Rahul Tripathi 2 , Aiden Markram 1)

After 1 over,Sunrisers Hyderabad 1/2 ( Rahul Tripathi 1 , Aiden Markram 0)

IPL 2022, SRH vs RCB Live Score: What a start for the Royal Challengers in their defence of the 193-run target. SRH skipper Kane Williamson’s run out without facing a single delivery in the first ball of the innings, responding to Abhishek Sharma’s call for a risky single and falling a fraction short in the end. Abhishek then follows him back to the hut as he gets castled by Maxwell in the fifth ball. In between, Tripathi opens the team’s account with a single.

IPL 2022, SRH vs RCB Live Score: OUT! Both SRH openers back in the hut in the very first over of the innings, this time Abhishek getting his off stump knocked over after missing a straight delivery from Maxwell while looking to heave it towards the midwicket fence. SRH 1/2

Abhishek b Maxwell 0(3)

IPL 2022, SRH vs RCB Live Score: OUT! Kane Williamson’s dismissed for a platinum duck! What a start for the Royal Challengers in their defence of the 193-run target.

Wicket falls off the first delivery in each innings today, a rare occurence in the sport in general and in the IPL in particular. SRH 0/1

Williamson run out (Shahbaz) 0(0)

Royal Challengers to start with spin, much like the Sunrisers earlier today, with Glenn Maxwell bowling the first over. Kane Williamson and Abhishek Sharma open the innings as usual.

Du Plessis steers the ball down the ground, coming back for a second, before collecting a single next ball, guiding a wide yorker down the ground towards long on. DROPPED! Tripathi puts down another catch, this one a lot easier as it bursts out of his palms, the ball landing on the full on the boundary cushion at deep midwicket. DK makes the most of the lifeline as he smashes two biggies to complete a hat-trick of maximums, before clubbing the ball down the ground for a four, resulting in a 25-run final over for Farooqi in debut. DK finishes unbeaten on 30 off just 8 balls in another spectacular display of pinch-hitting from the veteran keeper-batter, as RCB finish on 192/3 after opting to bat.

After 19 overs,Royal Challengers Bangalore 167/3 ( Faf du Plessis (C) 70 , Dinesh Karthik (W) 8)

IPL 2022, SRH vs RCB Live Score: Tyagi’s given the responsibility of the penultimate over. Starts off with a front-foot no-ball, but does well to restrict Maxwell to just a brace in the Free Hit. The big-hitting Aussie perishes next ball, getting caught at wide long on while attempting to collect another maximum for himself. Dot off the next two before new batter Dinesh Karthik collects a brace to get off the mark. He ends the over with a slog sweep over the square leg fence for a six. One more over to go in the innings.

OUT! A breezy knock from Maxwell comes to an end as he holes out to Markram standing at wide long on while attempting to collect a third maximum for himself. Was a length ball from Tyagi that the Aussie ended up mishitting down the ground. RCB 159/3

Follows it up with a short, wide ball that is promptly dispatched towards the extra cover boundary by Patidar.

Du Plessis then collects back-to-back fours, the second one the result of a dropped chance by Tripathi at midwicket, the ball brushing his hand and running away to the boundary rope.

IPL 2022, SRH vs RCB Live Score: OUT! A third golden duck of the season for Virat Kohli! Gets a full delivery from Suchith, and he flicks it straight to Kane Williamson standing at midwicket.

IPL 2022, SRH vs RCB Live Score: Jagadeesha Suchith to bowl the first over of the afternoon, as SRH opt to start with spin. Virat Kohli and skipper Faf du Plessis walk out to open the innings, the former on strike.

Teams:

SRH: Abhishek Sharma, Kane Williamson (c), Rahul Tripathi, Aiden Markram, Nicholas Pooran (wk), Shashank Singh, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Jagadeesha Suchith, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Kartik Tyagi, Umran Malik

Faf du Plessis: Nice to see Kane losing a toss for a change. Hopefully we put up a good score today. I find the last two games, we’ve done some good things in the batting department. Same team.

Kane Williamson: I suppose I was due to lose one. Little bit undecided. Important we do the job with the ball well first up. We have two changes. Farooqui comes in for Abbott, and Suchith comes in for Gopal. Strategic, and a little bit of balance.

TOSS: RCB win the toss and skipper Faf du Plessis opts to bat

Matthew Hayden analyses the Wankhede surface ahead of toss:

“It’s so hot. It’s just humid and really scorching. Expect to see lots of sixes. I’m looking for wear and tear and eve though they have quality fast bowlers, Hasaranga and Gopal might have a say today. Just the dryness here, you can see it’s starting to flake up. Don’t be surprised if you see the ball holding up. You’ll see the bowlers bowling the hard lengths. 170 should be an ideal score here.”

RCB to bring back green jersey today

The Royal Challengers Bangalore will be bringing back the much-loved light green jersey as part of their ‘Go Green’ initiative for their clash against the ‘Orange Army’ today. RCB had ditched the green jersey for a light blue one in support of the frontline workers tackling the COVID-19 pandemic.

COVID scare in DC camp… again

The Delhi Capitals players and coaching staff members have been forced to isolate after yet another positive COVID case emerged in the camp — this time a net bowler contracting the virus. The development puts a question mark on their fixture against Chennai Super Kings that is scheduled to take place later today.

Kohli v Williamson in focus

Both Virat Kohli and Kane Williamson will hope to regain form in the mid-table meeting between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Wankhede Stadium. RCB will hope to bolster their playoff chances with a win today while SRH would want to return to winning ways after three losses in a row.
