Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) lost by 55 runs to Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in their IPL 2026 clash in Hyderabad on Friday, but did enough to secure a top two finish and deny SRH. Opting to bat first, Ishan Kishan's 79, along with Abhishek Sharma's 22-ball 56 and Heinrich Klaasen's 24-ball 51 helped them post 255/4 in 20 overs. RCB needed to score just 166 to ensure a top two finish, and managed to do so thanks to a half-century by Rajat Patidar, and crucial knocks by Venkatesh Iyer (44) and Krunal Pandya (41*).
The result means that RCB will face Gujarat Titans in Qualifier 1, while SRH await the confirmation of their opponent in the Eliminator. About NDTV (English news channel) NDTV is India's Most-Trusted News Broadcaster with the latest updates in news, sports, entertainment and much more from within
