IPL 2020 LIVE SCORE, Rajasthan Royals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad latest updates: That’s that, then. Short from Tyagi and Vijay Shankar pulls this to the fence. The chase is done and Shankar brings up his fifty too. SRH win by 8 wickets. Proper hammering. Preview: Rajasthan Royals take on Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 40th match of IPL 2020 in Dubai on 22 October. The points table is beginning to get interesting in the second half of the tournament with the non-performing teams going all out in order to stay afloat. RR’s victory over CSK in the last match was a welcome relief. They now have 8 points from 10 matches and sit third from the bottom. With the pitches getting slower, the spinners are coming more into play and RR will again depend on Shreyas Gopal and Rahul Tewatia to get the job done against SRH. Hyderabad’s middle-order somehow hasn’t clicked and the RR spinners would look to pounce in on this weakness. They still require the other pacers to support Jofra Archer from the other end who has been magnificent. That said, what was a huge shot in the arm was Jos Buttler finding form. His move to the middle-order seems to have worked as he hit 70 off 48 balls on a track where the other batsmen found it tough to get going. However, their biggest worry has been the form of Sanju Samson. He’s gone bust after the first two matches and there are a lot of expectations from him. He needs to really step up during this crucial juncture.

Sportzpics[/caption] SRH, on the other hand, need a win desperately. They have played one match less compared to the other four in the bottom half of the table and this is a crucial match for them. They have been finding it tough to get the consistency going. Their last match against KKR went into a Super Over which SRH lost and they will go into the RR match on the back of consecutive losses. It is that middle order again which is causing them the problems. They need a lot more output from Priyam Garg, Manish Pandey and Vijay Shankar. And they also seem to be hurting from the absence of Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the bowling department. Basil Thampi went for 46/1 from four overs against KKR. Maybe, they will be looking to get back Siddarth Kaul in place of Thampi. They will also be sweating over the fitness of Kane Williamson who suffered an injury against KKR. The two teams met earlier in the tournament and RR won the match by five wickets in a thrilling chase where Tewatia and Parag batted with confidence and maturity. With two teams desperately looking to stay afloat, we can expect a cracker. Here’s all you need to know about the RR vs SRH match in Dubai: When is the 40th match of IPL 2020 between RR and SRH?

 "IPL 2020 Highlights, RR vs SRH Match, Full Cricket Score: Pandey, Shankar slam fifties as Sunrisers cruise to 8-wicket win")
A 140-run partnership between Manish Pandey and Vijay Shankar paved the way for a comprehensive eight-wicket win for Sunrisers Hyderabad over Rajasthan Royals tonight. Jason Holder’s three-wicket haul ensured RR were restricted to 154/6, before Pandey and Shankar went about their business. SRH had an early scare with Archer’s fiery first spell, but the duo weathered that storm and went about their business calmly. The win puts them on the fifth spot, over Kings XI Punjab as RR languish at the seventh place.
That’s all from us tonight, but the action never stops. We’ll be back tomorrow with the coverage of the Mumbai Indians versus Chennai Super Kings match tomorrow. A potential blockbuster, only if CSK were not in the rut they find themselves in now. That said, you can’t discount the possibility of an exciting cricket match. Do join us tomorrow for more cricketing action, until then, it is a wrap at Firstpost. Take care, and good night!
SRH win by 8 wickets
A very complete performance this by SRH. The Orange Army, riding on Manish Pandey’s 47-ball 83, canter to an eight-wicket win. They earn crucial two points and haven’t done their NRR any harm either.
After 19 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 156/2 ( Manish Pandey 83 , Vijay Shankar 52)
That’s that, then. Short from Tyagi and Vijay Shankar pulls this to the fence. The chase is done and Shankar brings up his fifty too. SRH win by 8 wickets. Proper hammering.
After 18 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 152/2 ( Manish Pandey 83 , Vijay Shankar 48)
15 runs needed as Stokes runs in for the 18th over. SRH should look to end this quickly and improve their NRR. And almost on cue, Pandey nails a gorgeous six over midwicket. Memorable innings this, from Pandey.
After 17 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 140/2 ( Manish Pandey 76 , Vijay Shankar 46)
24 needed from 24 as SRH look set to break their chasing jinx that has stuck with them in IPL 2020. Kartik Tyagi returns; he has had a horrible two overs. Starts with a full toss to Shankar who plays it to mid-off for a single. This has been a very clinical chase from SRH, who will be over the moon with Pandey’s form. Meanwhile, he bowls one in the arc again and Pandey coolly lifts him over long-on for another six.
After 16 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 131/2 ( Manish Pandey 69 , Vijay Shankar 44)
What an eventful over this from Archer. Starts with three boundaries to Vijay Shankar, each of them lovely to watch and hit straight. Follows it with two bouncers that Shankar tries to ramp but doesn’t connect. A single to end the over.
Century stands for Sunrisers against Royals in IPL:
Shikhar Dhawan/Kane Williamson, 2nd wicket, Hyderabad, 2018
David Warner/Jonny Bairstow, Opening, Hyderabad, 2019
Manish Pandey/Vijay Shankar, Dubai, 2020*
After 15 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 118/2 ( Manish Pandey 69 , Vijay Shankar 31)
42 needed from 36 balls as Tewatia ambles in. These two are experts against spin, and with the asking rate not being a problem, I don’t see Tewatia causing them any trouble. 11-run partnership comes about through proper cricketing shots. A case study in building an alliance, this.
After 14 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 113/2 ( Manish Pandey 67 , Vijay Shankar 28)
Gopal into his final over, and he is expertly milked around. This has been a toothless bowling performance from RR, barring Archer. It is SRH’s game to lose now.
After 13 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 108/2 ( Manish Pandey 66 , Vijay Shankar 24)
Tewatia continues, and they milk him comfortably to bring up SRH’s 100. This is getting way too comfortable for them. Barring Archer, RR don’t seem to have a wicket-taking option. Pandey ends the over with a straight six. What an innings this!
After 12 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 97/2 ( Manish Pandey 59 , Vijay Shankar 20)
Archer returns, finally, and puts the breaks straightaway. Just one run from his first five balls, one of which may have kept slightly low. Well negotiated there by Shankar; that was bowled at 150 kmph. Attempts a bouncer on the last ball and that is deemed too high. Responds with a 145 kmph short delivery at Shankar’s midriff who plays it well to leg-side for a single. Just three runs from that tight over.
After 11 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 94/2 ( Manish Pandey 58 , Vijay Shankar 19)
Gopal continues and they loot 15 from this one. Two of the most gorgeous off-drives you may see against a spinner coming off Vijay Shankar’s blade there.
After 10 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 79/2 ( Manish Pandey 52 , Vijay Shankar 10)
Tewatia continues. RR need a wicket soon now, and I don’t think there’s a better option than Archer to do that. While Pandey is going at a strike rate of 170-plus, Vijay Shankar has taken 18 balls for his 10 runs. We saw Stokes’ struggles accounting for Samson and Stokes himself in the first innings. For now, all’s well with the chase.
After 9 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 76/2 ( Manish Pandey 50 , Vijay Shankar 9)
Gopal to continue. Starts with a full one to Shankar who plays it to long on for a single. A bit short and drifting in from Gopal as this one hits Pandey’s pad first. They go upstairs but the impact is outside off. Pandey responds by jumping down the track next ball, but no runs there. he is not going to stay put for long though, does Pandey. Gopal drops short and Pandey pulls him into the stands. A single next ball brings up his fifty, off just 28 balls. Five sixes in that already. What an innings this has turned out to be.
After 8 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 68/2 ( Manish Pandey 43 , Vijay Shankar 8)
Rahul Tewatia to bowl his leg-spin now. Let’s see if he gets any purchase from this track. Gets a leading edge from Shankar that falls in no-man’s land. Just six runs from it as SRH duo looks to consolidate.
After 7 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 62/2 ( Manish Pandey 41 , Vijay Shankar 4)
Shreyas Gopal comes into the attack. Finds his lengths early and concedes just four in this first over. Manish Pandey’s whirlwind knock has not only brought down the asking rate, but has soothed SRH’s nerves. This is a little gem already.
After 6 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 58/2 ( Manish Pandey 39 , Vijay Shankar 2)
Tyagi to continue, and starts with a horrible wide. The over only goes worse for him, ad smokes him for a four and two sixes. The youngster’s inexperience is showing. He is struggling for line, length, and control. Pandey and SRH are on the way.
Most wickets in PP overs this season of IPL:
7 : Deepak Chahar
7 : Trent Boult
7 : Jofra Archer*
After 5 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 41/2 ( Manish Pandey 23 , Vijay Shankar 1)
Ben Stokes comes into the attack, and is dealt with by Manish Pandey who hits him for a four and a glorious six. Searching for his line and length there, Stokes. Ends the over with 13 runs. Good, productive over for SRH.
After 4 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 27/2 ( Manish Pandey 11 , Vijay Shankar 0)
Kartik Tyagi into the attack. Starts with a wide and follows it with a couple of short and wide balls that are dealt with by Manish Pandey. He is struggling to get his length right…pretty much undoing all the good work of that Archer over. 11 from that over.
