Royal Challengers Bengaluru posted their second win of the season at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad against hosts Sunrisers Hyderabad on Thursday in IPL 2024.
RCB posted a total of 206 runs for the loss of 7 wickets in 20 overs, before restricting SRH to a score of 171 runs for the loss of eight scalps in the chase to register a 35-run win over the hosts.
Swapnil Singh, Cameron Green and Karn Sharma picked up a brace of wickets each as the RCB bowling turned up on the day.
Patidar, POTM, said, Iwas just keeping things in my mind that control the controllables. Whenever I go back home, I try to solve every problem which I faced. I go for skilful batting setup. Nothing like that (plan to target spin?). Today I was backing myself to be in good shape against every bowler.
Faf, RCB captain, said, Last two games, we’ve shown great signs of fight. SRH game was 270 plus, we got 260. KKR game as well – 1 run. We’ve been close for a while, but you need to win matches to get confidence as a group. Will sleep easier tonight. You can’t speak confidence into the group, can’t fake confidence into the group. Only thing that gives confidence is performances. The competition is so strong, the teams are so strong that you’ll get hurt if you’re not at 100 percent. More guys scoring runs now. First half of the tournament only Virat was scoring runs. Greeny scoring runs now will be massive for him. We know that Chinnaswamy, that’s been a big frustration for us. It’s a difficult ground to bowl at. We’ve tried to find a recipe for it, but it’s tough.
Cameron Green, said, We always have to celebrate little wins and we feel pretty good now. [on batting first] It was. I definitely was not in agreement with that. Credit goes to captain and coach, SRH have been batting well – that was the main reason. I’m still early in my career, I’m still working it out, I like batting up the order and I’m working it out.
