Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru, 41st Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

The struggles of Kohli and the Sunrisers on that pitch just go on to show how good that knock from Rajat Patidar was. He timed the ball beautifully, scored four consecutive sixes off Markande, and brought up his fifty off just 19 balls. Cameron Green also played a big role to finish the innings nicely with the bat. And then RCB's spinners came to the party as Sunrisers ran out of steam for once. It seemed like the top three on the table were pulling away from the rest, but this result opens things up a bit. That's it for now. This is Sagar Chawla signing off on behalf of Siva and Abhinand Raghavendran. Goodnight!

Patidar, POTM: I was 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: 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: 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. [on Klaasen's catch] The whole time I was thinking Klaasen, Klaasen in my head and it was up there for a while, happy I hung on. It is always nice to win one and have to enjoy this.

Pat Cummins | SRH captain: Not an ideal night. Few over par with the ball and unfortunately lost a few wickets throughout our innings. We were gonna bat first, it seems to be working for us. Before the last few wins, we were thinking that we were a bowl-first team. Didn't go our way. (Message to the group) I speak after wins, Dan (Vettori) speaks after losses. The boys have been going really well, it's T20 cricket, you are not going to win every game. Don't dwell on this too much. (High risk, high reward approach with the bat) I think it's our strong suit. It's not going to work every game. One or two games where it hasn't gone our way at the start, we still managed to get a good total. Still think this is the way forward for our boys.

23:15 Local Time, 17:45 GMT, 23:15 IST: RCB have something to smile about as they snap their losing streak of six matches. Kohli breaks into laughter as he's hugged by Dayal. It was a job well done today by the visitors against the batting powerhouse of the Sunrisers. The pitch, which was on the slower side, certainly played its part and wasn't to the liking of the big-hitters that the hosts possess. But RCB used the conditions smartly as well, opening the bowling with Jacks against the destructive left-handed duo. There was some grip on offer, and Jacks struck gold with the wicket of Travis Head in the first over. It was just a sign of things to come as spin went on to do a lot more damage, the highlight being the wicket of Klaasen by RCB debutant Swapnil Singh. Karn Sharma bowled superbly as well to finish with figures of 2/29 and the three of them derailed SRH's run chase entirely. Whatever fight was left was snuffed out by Cameron Green who had a good outing with both bat and ball.
