Sharma made 24 while Head went on to score 67 runs in 31 balls, hitting 9 fours and 3 sixes. Ishan Kishan then hit a swashbuckling century. He made 106 runs off 47 balls, stayed not out and helped Sunrisers Hyderabad get to a massive total of 286 in 20 overs of play.
During the chase, Rajasthan Royals lost the key wickets of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Riyan Parag early on in the innings. After these two got out, Sanju Samson took the responsibility of bringing life into the game. He along with Dhruv Jurel hit some really good shots. Samson made 66 runs off 37 balls but got out at a wrong time. Dhruv Jurel scored 70 runs in 35 balls. After these two got out, it was almost a formality. However, it was entertaining to see Shubham Dubey hitting sixes for fun in the back end. Rajasthan Royals were eventually restricted to 242 for 6 in 20 overs, losing the match by 44 runs.

Kolkata Knight Riders batted first and they posted a total of 174 for 8 in 20 overs. Quinton de Kock got out cheaply. After his dismissal, Ajinkya Rahane and Sunil Narine batted superbly. Rahane made 56 runs while Narine scored 44 off 26 balls. While these two were batting, it looked like KKR will achieve 220+ with ease. However, the middle order simply collapsed as Krunal Pandya picked up 3 wickets for 29 runs. Josh Hazlewood bowled exceptionally well at the death and didn't give any room to the KKR batters to swipe hard and as a result, Kolkata Knight Riders had to settle for an under par total of 174 in their innings.
During the chase, Phil Salt and Virat Kohli started off very well. They scored 56 and 59 runs respectively to almost seal the deal in favor of Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
