Travis Head (off 20 balls) at half-century
Travis Head, the opening batsman for Australia, made up for his lacklustre performance in recent games. After being a member of the RCB team in the past, the 30-year-old made the decision to punish the bowling and record another skilfully played half-century.
Powerplay: Mandatory First Strategic Time-out (76/0) and Overs 0.1 to 6.

Heinrich Klaasen, half-century (Off 23 balls)

Second Strategic time-out for Sunrisers Hyderabad (217/2 off 16 overs)
The silence that descended upon Chinnaswamy Stadium as the SRH hitters ran away with the game told the tale. On a pitch this conducive for batting, where SRH had already destroyed his bowlers, Faf Du Plessis would have hated having to bowl first.
