Based on the sensational ton by Heinrich Klaasen, the hosts posted a total of 186 runs on the board.
However, Royal Challengers Bangalore so far have made the target look like a cakewalk as they came out all guns blazing and have made a mockery of the SRH bowlers. Skipper Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli have yet again provided a rollicking start as they have stitched 100 plus run partnership for the 1st wicket.
