Chasing the target of 288 runs, the Bengaluru team struggled till the end. But the team could score only 262 runs at the loss of 7 wickets. Dinesh Karthik's inning of 83 runs in 35 balls with the help of 7 sixes and 5 fours was commendable. This was the sixth defeat of the Bengaluru team. The team is at the bottom of the points table with 1 win and 6 losses in 7 matches played. Now only 7 games are left and if the Bengaluru team wants to have a chance for the play-off round, it will have to win all the remaining games.

Royal Challengers Bangalore captain du Plessis said after the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, the pitch was suitable for a T20 cricket match. As far as batting is concerned, we have shown better performance. We tried to reach the goal till the end. But 288 runs was a long shot. This is difficult. We tried a few things. When self-confidence is low, there is no way to hide.

It was a difficult game for the fast bowlers. We need to work on some areas of batting. Make sure the run rate does not drop after the powerplay. The players joined hands while chasing the target.
