The match commenced as Sunrisers Hyderabad won the toss and opted to field first as a result we will get to witness Devdutta Padikkal who debuts his first IPL match for the team and Aaron Flinch who are in the first two lineups to bat from RCB as B. Kumar bowls them.
Sandeep Sharma bowls into D. Padikkal in the 2nd over leading RCB to open their first 2 boundaries of the season. At 4.2 overs M. Marsh bowled out sprained his ankle and was seen stumbling but yet we see him adamant to bowl but we see him walking off in the middle of 4.4 overs and Vijay Shankar comes to the field and completes the over.
A. Flinch and D. Padikkal just stabilize their partnership but at the beginning of 11 overs, Vijay Shankar is successful to take the debutant D. Padikkal’s wicket sending him off back to his den.
