RCB in control vs SRH

March 28, 2026

RCB 164-4 (13 ovs) vs SRH 201-9 | SCORECARD

David Payne gets his maiden IPL wicket as he dismisses the dangerous Patidar.

The RCB skipper smashed an entertaining 31 from 20 balls before he miscued the slower ball and was caught at mid-off.

Payne strikes again off the next ball. Jitesh Sharma pulls the slower ball straight into the hands of Unadkat at deep square leg to perish for a first-ball duck.

Tim David denies Payne the hat-trick as he taps the first ball he faces on the off-side.

He blocks the next one as well before taking a single off the last ball to retain strike.

Payne, who went for 18 in his first over, bounces back with a double strike in his next while conceding just two runs.
