IPL 2018, RCB vs SRH: 4 Reasons why Hyderabad lost against Bangalore

#4 Southee's brilliant 17th over

Tim Southee was absolutely brilliant

RCB needed to bowl well, but Williamson and Pandey's flawless partnership threatened to spoil the hosts’ party.

SRH seemed to be cruising and needed 55 runs of four overs, with eight wickets in hand. Then came the game-changing over which turned the match on its head.

Southee hit the right lengths on all of his six deliveries and conceded only six runs. He did not manage to pick up a wicket but, pushed the run rate further up.

It got to a point, which made Williamson perish in the final over to Siraj, and in the end, RCB pulled off a wonderful victory to stay alive. Southee's 17th over was very crucial in RCB clinching a victory over SRH.
