With RCB’s defeat, the IPL has now entered a really fascinating stage with 6 groups nonetheless vying for three spots within the playoffs.
Batting first, RCB managed to attain simply 120 for 7 in 20 overs. In reply, SRH surpassed the goal in solely 14.1 overs with 5 wickets in hand. With this win, SRH jumped to fourth place on the factors desk in IPL 2020.
De Villiers mentioned that Joshua Phillipe and his dismissals in fast succession was the turning level within the recreation.
“Credit to SRH, they bowled exceptionally well from the word go. They didn’t give us a lot of boundary balls. Their seamers started well in the powerplay, they didn’t make a lot of mistakes and then after that it didn’t get much easier with Rashid Khan, who didn’t bowl a lot of bad balls either tonight. I think they applied a lot of pressure and then the turning point was probably when Josh and I got out back-to-back, that cost us maybe 20-30 runs which is unfortunate. At the end of the day I think that might not have been enough anyway. The field got wet in the 2nd innings which made it difficult so maybe 140 would have been short anyway,” De Villiers mentioned.

Virat Kohli-led RCB are nonetheless at second place regardless of the defeat in opposition to SRH however they should register victory of their ultimate match in opposition to Delhi Capitals to succeed in the knockouts.
