SunRisers Hyderabad elected to bowl first, making two changes to their side while Rajasthan Royals remained unchanged from their win against Chennai Super Kings.

In reply, SunRisers Hyderabad got off to a horror start, losing David Warner and Jonny Bairstow for only 16 on the board. However, the Royals’ bowlers let Manish Pandey and Vijay Shankar off the leash by bowling several freebies and Kartik Tyagi proved the most expensive of the lost with 42 off 3.4 overs. Vijay Shankar and Manish Pandey combined for a stand of 140 to take the SunRisers Hyderabad with 13 balls to spare.
