SportsTak

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) were back to their best when they took on Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), beating them by 67 runs at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday. Setting a target of 193 for SRH to score, the 2016 Indian Premier League (IPL) champions were dismissed for 125 runs, with Sri Lankan all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga picking up a five-fer for RCB. 

 

Hasaranga's brilliant performance took his tally for the season to five, and he only gave away 18 runs, bagging an economy rate of just 4.50. 

 

In the other match on Sunday between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Delhi Capitals (DC), the Capitals were not at their best yet again, losing to CSK by a massive 91 runs. Only Anrich Nortje and Khaleel Ahmed got more than one wicket among the DC bowlers, and the latter moved up the standings after 2/28 against CSK.
