Despite his efforts, GT managed to reach a very high total of 188. This turned out to be too much for RCB to handle, and they ended up being restricted to just 154 runs, losing the game by 34 runs.

Sunrisers Hyderabad batted first and managed to put up a decent total of 159 on the board. While it looked like KXIP would be able to chase this down, Bhuvneshwar Kumar put in a ridiculous performance, picking up the wickets of Hashim Amla, Glenn Maxwell, Manan Vohra, Mohit Sharma, and KC Cariappa to bowl KXIP out for 154 runs, helping SRH win the game by a narrow margin of five runs.
