In an extraordinary batting display, the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)<\/strong> set the M Chinnaswamy Stadium ablaze with a dominating win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB)<\/strong> in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024<\/strong>. In the massive run-fest, SRH outmuscled RCB by 25 runs<\/a> to continue their domination in the tournament.<\/p>\n RCB captain Faf du Plessis<\/strong> won the toss and opted to bowl first. The decision backfired early as a blazing knock from Travis Head<\/strong><\/a> (102 runs off 41 balls) propelled SRH to a strong position. Heinrich Klaasen<\/strong> (67 runs off 31 balls) and Abdul Samad<\/strong> (37 runs off 10 balls) provided valuable cameos lower down the order, taking SRH to highest-ever IPL total of 287\/3 in their allotted 20 overs.<\/p>\n SRH\u2019s mind-boggling batting display wasn\u2019t just about surpassing their own season-best of 277. Their mammoth 287-run total rewrote the record books of franchise cricket. This score now stands as the highest ever by any team in a T20 franchise tournament, eclipsing all previous marks. While Nepal\u2019s remarkable 314 for 3 against Mongolia at the Asian Games remains the highest total in T20 cricket overall, SRH now hold the bragging rights in the franchise arena.<\/p>\n Chasing a stiff target, RCB got off to a decent start with contributions from Virat Kohli<\/strong> (42 runs) and Faf du Plessis<\/strong> (62 runs). However, the middle order faltered, leaving the onus on Dinesh Karthik<\/strong> (83 runs off 35 balls) to carry the fight. Despite his valiant knock, RCB could only manage 262\/7 in their allotted overs, falling short by 25 runs.<\/p>\n SRH skipper Pat Cummins<\/strong> (3 wickets) was the pick of bowlers for the 2016 champions, while Mayank Markande<\/strong> bagged a crucial two wickets. For RCB, Lockie Ferguson<\/strong> took two wickets, but the bowling attack struggled to contain the SRH batters in the face of a massive onslaught.<\/p>\n 13 bowlers were used today. <\/p>\n All of them had economy of 10.00+ #RCBvSRH<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Bharath Seervi (@SeerviBharath) April 15, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Record tod IPL.<\/p>\n \u2014 Irfan Pathan (@IrfanPathan) April 15, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \ud83d\ude05 #RCBvSRH<\/a> #IPL2024<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/OhwxHmhCpZ<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Wasim Jaffer (@WasimJaffer14) April 15, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n What a \ud83d\udcaf!
