SRH WIN Jason Holder's late assault has ensured Sunrisers Hyderabad run away to a 5-wicket win with 35 balls to spare. While the victory has ensured that SRH stay alive in the playoffs race, the massive margin of defeat has severely dented RCB's Net Run Rate. The Virat Kohli-led side were outplayed with both bat and ball. After being restricted to 120, they struggled to contain Manish Pandey and Wriddhiman Saha in the powerplay. The duo put on a half-century stand for the second wicket but RCB clawed their way back with five wickets. However, that did little to deter SRH's chase. They will now move to Abu Dhabi for their last group clash - against DC. The winner of that match will qualify for the playoffs. The loser will be in with a chance depending on the NRR. SRH, on the other hand, will continue to remain in Sharjah where they will face the defending champions and table toppers Mumbai Indians. Given their positive NRR, a win should guarantee them a spot in the playoffs and a defeat will push them out of contention.
