IPL 2025: RCB Collapse As Malinga, Cummins Star For SRH In 42-run Win
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Eshan Malinga and Pat Cummins triggered a batting collapse for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru as they were dismissed for 189 in 20 overs in Match 65 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the Ekana Stadium here on Friday. Sunrisers Hyderabad thus registered a 42-run victory over the Jitesh Sharma-led side and prevented it from surging to the top spot in the points table.
In the first innings, Ishan Kishan’s unbeaten 94 saw Sunrisers Hyderabad set a massive total of 231/6 in 20 overs. For the fielding side, Romario Shepherd was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 2-14 in two overs.
In his first innings after confirming retirement from Tests, Virat Kohli (43) took the fight to the SRH bowlers. He began the proceedings with a late cut off Pat Cummins, before punching Jaydev Unadkat through wide mid-off with authority in the next over. A pull shot towards deep mid-wicket, which just evaded Nitesh Kumar Reddy, off Cummins, saw the veteran take the charge from one side, while Phil Salt (62) struggled to get going, a contrast to their regular dynamics.
