5. Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bangalore- Match 11, IPL 2019
In Match 11 of the IPL 2019, RCB skipper Virat Kohli won the toss and elected to field first.
David Warner and Jonny Bairstow were quick to get off the blocks as they gave their side a thunderous first wicket stand of 185 runs.

Sunrisers posted a mammoth total of 231/2(20) with centuries from the Warner and Bairstow.
The game was probably deemed to be over after the 1st innings as it wasn’t easy to chase such a target against a star-studded bowling lineup. RCB continued their poor form in the season and was bowled out for 113. Nabi picked up 4 wickets, and Sandeep Sharma picked up 3 wickets to establish their dominance against the side. Jonny Bairstow was named as the man of the match.

However, Rajasthan made up their mind to have a go at the SRH bowlers, but they lost the wickets of Yashasvi and Parag in quick succession, which left the RR batters with quite a lot to do. Samson and Jurel took the game deep with fighting efforts as both the batsman got to the fifty run mark. They fell short of the total by 44 runs but scored 242/6(20) making it the fourth highest total at Hyderabad.

Naman Dhir and Tilak Varma carried the momentum with a blistering partnership of 84 runs and a terrific 64(34) from Tilak Varma.
