RCB all-rounder Shane Watson had a torrid time with the ball first and then failed to live up to the expectations with the bat. Watson conceded 61 runs without taking a wicket in his quota of four overs including 24 runs in the final over of the first innings which completely shifted the momentum in Sunrisers’ favour.
Ben Cutting took a liking to Watto and smashed three mammoth sixes and a boundary in the last over to power SRH past the 200-run mark. Watson then failed to deliver with the bat and could only manage 11 runs from 9 balls as RCB fell eight runs short of the target.
Royal Challengers Bangalore have always had world class batsmen in their lineup with the likes of Virat Kohli, Chris Gayle and Ab de Villiers forming the top three. The bowling lineup, although fairly decent, have failed to fire for the team on numerous occasions this season.

Barring Yuzvendra Chahal, who finished as the second-highest wicket taker in the tournament, none of the other bowlers could step up and deliver for the captain when it mattered the most. (Heartbreak for Kohli as Sunrisers win maiden IPL title )
SRH were 140 for 3 at the 15-over mark but from there on they capitalised on some poor bowling and scored 68 runs in the next 30 balls to deliver a heavy blow on the home team.
