Aron Finch and Sikhar Dhawan opened the innings for SRH, but in a bouncy pitch, the Australian catch for RCB, Mitchel Starc bowled an extraordinary early spell. So, Sunrisers lost some early wickets in the match but Dhawan and David Warner helped SRH to reach a fighting total of 155 runs as they scored 37 runs of 36 balls and 61 runs of 49 balls respectively.
