SRH Innings: How Sunrisers Hyderabad Posted 231/6

In the SRH vs RCB IPL 2025 batting scorecard, Sunrisers Hyderabad scored 231/6 in 20 overs at a run rate of 11.55.

Abhishek Sharma’s 34 off 17 balls set the tone at the top, striking at 200.00 before falling inside the powerplay. Travis Head was dismissed for just 5, leaving SRH at 54/2 inside the first 5.2 overs. What followed was one of the most controlled innings from a keeper-batter in IPL 2025.

Ishan Kishan’s Match-Winning 94*

Ishan Kishan‘s unbeaten 94 off 48 balls– with 7 fours and 5 sixes at a strike rate of 195.83- is the standout performance in this SRH vs RCB scorecard. After the early wickets, Kishan took full ownership of the innings. He rotated strike effectively through the middle overs and accelerated sharply in the death, ensuring SRH had enough runs on the board even on a flat Lucknow surface. Heinrich Klaasen’s 24 off 11 balls (2 fours, 2 sixes, SR 218.18) alongside Kishan provided the critical burst between overs 13 and 16. Abhinav Manohar added 15 off 9 and Pat Cummins finished with an unbeaten 13 off 9 balls to push SRH past 230.

RCB Bowling

Without Josh Hazlewood, RCB’s bowling attack lacked a genuine death-over specialist. Yash Dayal conceded 53 runs in 4 overs and Krunal Pandya went for 59 in 4, leaving the target well beyond what the surface demanded. Romario Shepherd (2/14 in 2 overs) was the pick of their bowlers- economical and incisive- but his two-over allocation was too limited to contain Kishan’s momentum.

RCB Chase: From 173/3 to 189 All Out

The RCB chase in this sunrisers hyderabad vs royal challengers Bengaluru match scorecard began brilliantly before falling apart entirely. Phil Salt (62 off 32) and Virat Kohli (43 off 25) put together an 80-run opening stand, building a platform that had RCB well ahead of the required rate through the first seven overs. RCB’s powerplay of 75/0 was the strongest phase of their innings- both openers attacking from ball one, the required rate being managed rather than chased. Once the openers departed, no subsequent partnership matched the same authority.

SRH Bowling

Pat Cummins (3/28) and Harshal Patel (3/39) were the two standout performers with the ball for SRH. Cummins returned in the death to take three wickets in 11 balls, while Harshal removed both Phil Salt and the RCB tail. Eshan Malinga (2/37) was the match-turning bowler in the critical 16th over.

RCB’s Collapse: The Over That Decided the Match

RCB fell from 173/3 to 189 all out, losing seven wickets for 16 runs across 4.1 overs. This remains the heaviest late-innings collapse by RCB in IPL 2025.

Over 16- Two Balls, Two Wickets

At 173/3 entering the 16th over, RCB needed 59 from 24 balls with Jitesh Sharma and Romario Shepherd at the crease. Eshan Malinga dismissed Shepherd caught-and-bowled the first ball for zero, then had Jitesh caught behind for 24 off the very next delivery. Two wickets in consecutive balls. 173/3 became 174/5 inside a single over.

Pat Cummins Closes Out the Tail

Tim David- playing through injury- scored 1 off 5 balls before being dismissed by Cummins. The SRH captain then removed Bhuvneshwar Kumar (caught at slip, 3 off 2) and Krunal Pandya (bowled for 8) in the same burst, completing a match-winning return of 3/28 in 4 overs. Harshal Patel added the 10th wicket, removing Lungi Ngidi to end the innings in the 19th over.

IPL 2025 Playoff Race: What This Scorecard Changed

The defeat reduced RCB’s net run rate and impacted the race for a top-two finish. Both RCB and Punjab Kings (PBKS) ended the IPL 2025 league stage on 19 points each. PBKS claimed first place on superior NRR (+0.372 vs RCB’s +0.301)- a gap directly influenced by this 42-run loss. RCB entered the playoffs as the second-placed team and faced Qualifier 1 without the positional advantage of finishing first.
