Sunrisers Hyderabad defeated Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Match 30 of IPL 2024.
In the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) dominated Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) with a remarkable batting outburst that lit up the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. To maintain their dominance in the competition, SRH outmuscled RCB by 25 runs in the enormous run-fest.
After winning the toss, captain of the RCB Faf du Plessis chose to bowl first. Early on, the move backfired as Travis Head’s scorching knock (102 runs off 41 balls) put SRH in a commanding position. Lower down the order saw important cameos from Heinrich Klaasen (67 runs off 31 balls) and Abdul Samad (37 runs off 10 balls), helping SRH to their highest-ever IPL total of 287/3 in the allocated 20 overs.
It wasn’t only that SRH’s incredible batting performance eclipsed their own season-high of 277. The franchise cricket record books were completely rewritten by their massive 287-run score. This score has surpassed all prior records to become the highest ever achieved by any team in a T20 franchise competition. Though SRH currently has the bragging rights in the franchise sphere, Nepal’s incredible 314 for 3 versus Mongolia in the Asian Games stands as the best total in T20 cricket history.
RCB had a respectable start in chasing a challenging mark thanks to contributions from Faf du Plessis (62 runs) and Virat Kohli (42 runs). But when the middle order failed, it was up to Dinesh Karthik (83 runs off 35 balls) to win.
