Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s bowlers looked clueless against the quality batting lineup of Sunrisers Hyderabad. SRH has created the record for the highest total in franchise cricket. All the bowlers averaged above 10, the first time in the history of IPL. Guided by Travis Head’s quickfire century in 41 deliveries, Heinrich Klaasen and Aiden Markram gave a brilliant finish.
Highest IPL score
Sunrisers batsman started their attack from the word go. Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma attacked the bowlers during the powerplay overs, amassing 77 in the first six overs. Guided by knocks from Heinrich Klaasen, Aiden Markram and Abdul Samad, Hyderabad were in complete control of the match.
22 sixes were smashed outside the park during the innings. Topley gave the costliest over in Hyderabad innings during the 19th over. Abdul Samad took the pacer apart. He hit 2 sixes and three boundaries in the over. While one hit the roof, the other delivery, which was a full toss was hit flat over the rope.
A total of 13 extras were bowled by the RCB bowling lineup, a total of 12 wides and a no ball. None of the bowlers were spared by the swashbuckling Hyderabad batsman.
