Royal Challengers Bangalore and Sunrisers Hyderabad played against each other for the first time in 2013. Opting to bat first, RCB were in for a shocker as they lost Gayle to the part-time off-spin of Hanuma Vihari. None apart from Kohli and Henriques got to double figures as RCB ended the 20 overs with just 130.

SRH batsman never got going in the chase as they lost wickets at regular intervals. Five of the top six scored at a strike-rate of less than 100 and they couldn't hit a single six. As seven was required off the last over, SRH nudged the balls in the gaps to brought it down to two off the last ball.

Vihari could sneak only a bye as the match went into a super over. Cameron White hit a couple of sixes to set the target at 21. Steyn bowled fast yorkers to Kohli and Gayle as they scored only eight off the first four balls.

With 12 required off the last two balls, Gayle clobbered a six over the sightscreen in the penultimate ball. Steyn again bowled a full and fast delivery as Gayle failed to get underneath it. SRH sealed a thrilling win in the super-over.
