SRH vs RCB Eliminator, IPL 2020:

After a Super Over loss against KKR and after collapsing in one of the most dramatic fashion against Kings XI Punjab in the group stage, SRH won their last three games by comfortable margins. After RCB put them at 67/4 only halfway at the target, it looked like pressure situations are unfamiliar territory for the team. But it was not this time in a Play-off match without a second chance. It was a tale of Kane Williamson’s fifty triumphings in a thriller, above AB de Villiers fifty after both the teams lost early wickets. While RCB couldn’t have any fifty partnership, it was the unbeaten 65-run partnership between Kane and Holder that made the difference.

All the stats from the thrilling SRH vs RCB Eliminator game of IPL 2020.

473 – Total runs scored by Devdutt Padikkal in IPL 2020, which is now the highest by any player on his debut IPL season (excluding the inaugural season where all players debuted). The previous highest is Jonny Bairstow’s 445 for Sunrisers Hyderabad. Sadly he was dismissed at 1 tonight, his joint lowest score this season with also his team being eliminated.

56 – AB de Villiers score today which is now his highest score without hitting a six. On two occasions, he crossed fifty without a six, but both of them are lower scores.
