IPL 2020 Highlights, SRH vs RCB Eliminator, Full Cricket Score: Williamson, Holder help Hyderabad knock Bangalore out, book Qualifer 2 spot
November 6, 2020, 23:38:18 (IST)

That’s it then! Just two more games left in IPL 2020. Mumbai Indians are already in the final and waiting for their opponents. SRH would take on DC on Sunday to decide who will reach the summit clash.

It was a small target tonight but a tricky chase and SRH showed their class with Kane Williamson and Jason Hodler taking them home with some cool and calm batting. They have now won four matches on a trot which certainly gives them an edge over a Delhi side which looks in tatters.  

We are done for tonight. Tomorrow we have Trailblazers vs Supernovas in the WT20 Challenge. Good night!

Kane Williamson: A tough game. With the quality of their batting, restricting them to 132 showed we bowled well and it wasn’t going to be easy. We had time, but with two world class legspinners it was never going to be easy. It was just nice that we could get through their overs without losing too many wickets. You try and do your role as well as you can. It was nice to spend time and make a contribution, put some partnerships together. It’s been an interesting last two weeks for us.

David Warner, SRH Captain: Yeah the close game shave taken a bit out of me. Great performance tonight. Nails are okay at the moment. They have brought great impact to the side. Sandy and Jas upfront, get five out of them. Through the middle there was a lot of pressure on Rashid to deliver, we tried and worked out a formula and it is going well. Yes Kane and Rashid are two pillars. Kane is our banker and what a Masterclass tonight from him. Always manages to dig deep. That’s what he has done for NZ for years. Rashid is a world clas bowler. I am running out of superlatives for him. They bowled fantastic. Little bit close for my liking. DC are a fantastic team, they have a world class bowling attack, Shikhar is in form. Iyer is a key player. Looking forward to the match.

Kane Williamson is the Player of the Match for his knock of 50 not out off 44
November 6, 2020, 23:14:42 (IST)
Virat Kohli: I don’t think we had enough on the board. Through better execution, we got ourselves in a good position in the second half. A couple of people have stood up and had good seasons. Devdutt, Siraj. Yuzi and AB have been solid as ever. There’s a bigger picture going on here and we all have contributed to that. We are privileged we got to be part of that and gave something to the fans.

After 18 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 114/4 ( Kane Williamson 45 , Jason Holder 11)

Gurkeerat Mann almost pulled off a brilliant catch at deep square leg. He did very well to cut off the six as Williamson lofted Saini’s full toss but the momentum took him past the boundary ropes and he could not hold on to the catch. Williamson got a boundary by steering an outside-off delivery to the third man fence. 10 from the over. 18 needed now.

After 16 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 97/4 ( Kane Williamson 32 , Jason Holder 7)

Chahal back into the attack. If Williamson and Holder’s plan was to play Zampa and Chahal out safely, they have done it very well. Chahal finishes his spell with figures of 4-0-24-1. Williamson gave him a parting gift, a slog sweep six on the last ball. 10 from the over. 35 needed more to win. Williamson and Holder would now look to attack or maybe they don’t need it.

After 14 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 81/4 ( Kane Williamson 21 , Jason Holder 2)

Washington Sundar back into the attack. And Williamson starts to get move on. He didn’t look very confident so far but the six over mid-wicket should help him. Picked the delivery from his slot to slog sweep it over the cow corner. Nine from the over. 51 needed now.

November 6, 2020, 22:32:41 (IST)
SIX! Sundar was guilty of bowling in the slot and Williamson picked it to clear the deep mid-wicket fence. Excellent sweep shot.
November 6, 2020, 22:30:19 (IST)

After 13 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 72/4 ( Kane Williamson 13 , Jason Holder 1)

Moeen Ali called into the attack now. The required rate is creeping up. It’s 8.57 at the moment with 60 required. Four from the previous over and the required rate should not be a big issue for SRH if they do not lose wickets here.

November 6, 2020, 22:26:39 (IST)

After 12 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 68/4 ( Kane Williamson 10 , Jason Holder 0)

Chahal strikes now, gets the wicket of Garg. With the required rate touching 8 RPO, Garg was under pressure to find some boundaries. He went for a lofted drive on off as Chahal tossed it up but only managed to find Zampa at extra cover who took the catch despite a fumble. Holder comes in to bat. 64 needed now.

November 6, 2020, 22:22:32 (IST)

OUT! PK Garg c Zampa b Chahal 7 (14)

Williamson gets off the strike with a push to long-on for a single. Garg defends one then adds a double and then defends another one. Four from the over. 68 needed now.

After 10 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 60/3 ( Kane Williamson 6 , Priyam Garg 4)

Chahal continues. Williamson pushed the first delivery to deep extra cover for a single. Two dot balls and then a punch to the same area by Garg for a double. Another dot ball and then a double on the last ball. Five from the over. 10 overs done. 72 needed now.

November 6, 2020, 22:14:14 (IST)

After 9 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 55/3 ( Kane Williamson 5 , Priyam Garg 0)

Zampa continues. The crucial partnership is broken. Pandey edged his cut shot to ABD who took a pretty nice catch. Pandey was guilty of not making up his mid-on whether to go for a hard slash or a delicate cut as the short delivery kissed his bat on its way to ABD. Priyam Garg is the new batsman. Just one from the over. 77 needed now.

November 6, 2020, 22:09:58 (IST)

OUT! Manish Pandey c de Villiers b Zampa 24(21)

A very good catch by ADB. Shorter length delivery and Pandey moved back to cut it on off but ended up tickling it to the keeper. Crucial wicket for RCB. SRH in a spot of bother.

November 6, 2020, 22:09:32 (IST)

After 8 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 54/2 ( Manish Pandey 24 , Kane Williamson 4)

After Zampa, Yuzvendra Chahal comes into the attack. Five singles from the over as Pandey and Williamson knock it around. There’s still some batting to come but this partnership is crucial for SRH. 78 needed now.

November 6, 2020, 22:05:20 (IST)

After 7 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 49/2 ( Manish Pandey 22 , Kane Williamson 1)

Leg-spinner Adam Zampa into the attack now and he starts off very well with four dot balls. Bowled in some good lines in that channel outside off. Just one form the over as Williamson gets off the mark with a single on off.

November 6, 2020, 22:02:42 (IST)

After 6 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 48/2 ( Manish Pandey 22 , Kane Williamson 0)

Siraj gets another wicket. Warner out for 17. There’s some confusion over the dismissal. Siraj got the ball to seam and follow Warner who was trying to move away. The ball cut him in half and zipped through him to the keeper. RCB took a review for a caught behind after S Ravi gave it not out. The third umpire ruled in the favour of the bowling team as there was a spike on UltraEdge but that spike came when the ball was also very close to the body. Warner was just looking to break the shackles and got two boundaries on the first two deliveries of the over. He has been replaced by Kane Williamson. 13 from the over. Powerplay over. 84 of 84 needed.

REVIEW AND OUT! 

Warner c de Villiers b Siraj 17(17)

Excellent seaming delivery from Siraj which followed Warner who was trying to back away. Cut him in half and maybe kissed the glove on its way to the keeper but it was also very close to the body. The umpire was not sure of it and gave it not out but the third umpire overturned the decision after multiple replays as there was a spike on UltraEdge. It’s not clear whether the spike was a result of a connection between the ball and gloves or the body.

November 6, 2020, 21:52:04 (IST)
FOUR! That went in a flash. Warner cuts the length delivery with venom and while there was a fielder on off, he couldn’t stop it
November 6, 2020, 21:51:13 (IST)
FOUR! A boundary for Warner. He cuts the back of length delivery from Siraj through sweeper cover to add a boundary
November 6, 2020, 21:50:32 (IST)

After 5 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 35/1 ( David Warner (C) 9 , Manish Pandey 22)

Warner gets into the act here as Washington Sundar comes into the attack. Warner creates room on the first ball by moving away and slaps the shot through off for a boundary. The next ball is a no ball and a free hit as ABD broke the stumps before the shot was offered. Thankfully the free hit only accounted for a single, which brought Pandey on strike. And the Bangalore boy beautifully punched through the gap between mid-off and extra-cover to add another boundary. 12 from the over.

November 6, 2020, 21:47:45 (IST)
FOUR! Pandey is already batting in top gear. A fine shot off Sundar, a back-foot punch through mid-off, and extra cover
November 6, 2020, 21:46:08 (IST)
FOUR! Warner moves away, creates room and slaps it to wide of point tot find a boundary on off

After 4 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 23/1 ( David Warner (C) 3 , Manish Pandey 17)

Saini continues. Big over for SRH with 10 coming off it. Two boundaries in the over for Pandey. The first delivery he drove down uppishly to mid-on but Dube failed to stop it and let it go through him for a boundary. Two singles from there on and the last ball was driven beautifully through covers for another boundary.

November 6, 2020, 21:43:29 (IST)
FOUR! There was nothing lucky about this shot. A beautiful cover drive from Pandey as fielders became spectators
November 6, 2020, 21:40:27 (IST)
FOUR! A lucky boundary for Pandey. He slapped the shot to mid-on and Shivam Dube let it go through him off Saini
November 6, 2020, 21:39:35 (IST)

After 3 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 13/1 ( David Warner (C) 2 , Manish Pandey 8)

Siraj starts off with two consecutive wides down the leg side. Corrects the length for three dot balls but the fourth one is dispatched over the cow corner for a maximum. It was just a bit short and Pandey gave it the deserved treatment. Takes a single on the next ball. Nine from the over. Murali Kartik, on-air, reiterates that the chase is going to be a difficult one with very little dew falling.

IPL 2020 LIVE SCORE, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bangalore latest updates:

SRH win by six wickets! Jason Holder carves his shot to point boundary and RCB are out of IPL 2020. SRH will face Delhi Capitals in Qualifier 2 for a place in the final.

Preview: Sunrisers Hyderabad take on Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Eliminator of the Indian Premier League at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.

These are the two teams that will come into the Eliminator on the back of contrasting finishes and form in the group stages. RCB started off well in the tournament but then travelled a bumpy ride and that ride hit a roadblock when they lost their last four matches of the league stage, thankfully for them, they had done enough in the early matches to ensure qualification. SRH, on the other hand, had a roller coaster ride right from the start and left it too late. They performed well under pressure in do or die situations and won their last three matches comprehensively to qualify for the Playoffs. RCB need to hit the reset button now. Their biggest concern has been their batting theme. They seem to be too cautious and then depend on AB de Villiers for the late flourish. It had worked in the past but not every time and that has hurt them. They need to play with a bit more freedom and intent to start off. RCB will be hoping that Kohli gets back to his best. He’s scored 9,7 and 29 in their last three matches. Devdutt Padikkal has been their highest run-getter in the tournament and the team will rely on him to set the platform again. He will need support from the other batsmen who can take the pressure off his shoulders a bit. The bowlers have done well in the tournament and the spin duo of Yuzvendra Chahal and Washington Sundar will be the key. Virat would be looking to unleash Washington early against Warner and it will be fascinating to see how that battle unfolds. It will be interesting to see whether Kohli plays Isuru Udana or Moeen Ali with the wickets slowing down. SRH, on the other hand, have been re-energized after the arrival of Wriddhiman Saha. That opening stand of Warner and Saha will be crucial. Warner’s consistency and Saha’s aggression has been an ideal combination for them up top. The middle order has blown hot and cold through the tournament and a lot will be expected of them in case the openers don’t fire. That thumping victory against Mumbai Indians would have given them a lot of confidence. And that would play an important role against RCB. The bowling department has also done well. Sandeep Sharma has been their silent warrior in the powerplay. While Rashid Khan has been brilliant as ever in the middle overs, Shahbaz Nadeem was excellent against MI and T Natarajan found his mojo back. SRH wouldn’t be looking to tinker with the winning combination. In the two times these two teams met in the group stage, both teams won one match each. RCB beat SRH by 10 runs at Dubai in their first encounter while SRH beat RCB by five wickets in Sharjah in the second.   Full squads:  Royal Challengers BangaloreVirat Kohli  (c),  AB de Villiers Gurkeerat Mann Devdutt Padikkal Aaron Finch Yuzvendra Chahal Mohammed Siraj Umesh Yadav Navdeep Saini Adam Zampa Dale Steyn Isuru Udana Moeen Ali Pawan Negi Shivam Dube Washington Sundar Chris Morris Pavan Deshpande Parthiv Patel Joshua Philippe Shahbaz Ahmad Sunrisers Hyderabad:  David Warner  (c),  Abhishek Sharma Basil Thampi Bhuvneshwar Kumar Billy Stanlake Jonny Bairstow Kane Williamson Manish Pandey Mohammad Nabi Rashid Khan Sandeep Sharma Shahbaz Nadeem Shreevats Goswami Siddarth Kaul Khaleel Ahmed T Natarajan Vijay Shankar Wriddhiman Saha Virat Singh Priyam Garg Jason Holder Sandeep Bavanaka Fabian Allen Abdul Samad Sanjay Yadav Click here to read factboxes of all IPL teams Click here to check out the full IPL 2020 Schedule Click here to read all IPL team previews Click here to read IPL FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
