Skipper Faf du Plessis won the toss and the match swung in the hard-pressed Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s (RCB) way, while the law of averages caught up with hosts Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Thursday. 

RCB, who recorded their second win of the season from nine matches, beat SRH by 35 runs to end the hosts’ winning streak. The Pat Cummins-led side have five wins and three losses and are third on the points table. When the two sides met previously in Bangalore, SRH broke their own record to score 288-3.
