RCB vs SRH, IPL 2018: Royal Challengers Bangalore beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by 14 runs

That's it from us today. A match certainly worth all its penny. Bangalore live to fight another day. On the 18th, Delhi play hosts to Chennai which will begin at 2000 IST (1430 GMT). Join in for that game. Goodnight!

With not much doubt, AB de Villiers is awarded the Man of the Match Award. His superman knock of 69 from 39 and some great work in the field helps him get another trophy.

It was Yuzvendra Chahal's spell in the middle overs which put the brakes on the opposition. He bowled with guile and along with Umesh Yadav took off some of the momentum from the tourists' chase. However, credit needs to be given to the visiting team for hanging in till the end. The scoreboard pressure was too much eventually and in the end, Siraj delivered a good final over to restrict the visitors.

It was the ever-reliable Kane Williamson who combined finesse with timing to keep his side in the hunt. Manish Pandey struggled initially but found his touch gradually. The 135-run stand between the duo kept them afloat. The hosts were shoddy in the field and that helped the cause of the visitors.

Bangalore are still in the race for the playoffs. Yes, the youngster, Siraj has held his nerves to get his side over the line. What a dynamic game we have witnessed! Got to feel for Hyderabad. The visitors got off to a decent start but two wickets in quick succession pegged them back.

M Siraj to M Pandey, That's it! Bangalore hold their nerves and defend the target successfully. They are still alive in the competition. Full and straight from Siraj, Pandey forces it through mid-wicket for just a single. BANGALORE WIN BY 14 RUNS AND MOVE TO 12 POINTS NOW.

M Siraj to M Pandey, Slices this over backward point in no-man's land for a couple of runs.

M Siraj to D Hooda, DROPPED! Won't count much but that should have been taken. Skipper Kohli puts down his second of the night. Full and outside off from Siraj, Hooda carves this over mid off. The dropped catch results in one run.

19 needed from last 3 balls. The Bangalore crowd is up and buzzing.

M Siraj to M Pandey, Leg bye! Full toss and Manish cannot deposit this out of the park. Hits his thigh pad and rolls past the keeper. They can only manage a run. Game for Bangalore?

M Siraj to M Pandey, Poor short selection from Pandey. Does not back his abilities and looks for the clever scoop over third man. Can't make any contact to it.

Deepak Hooda is the new man in but he will be at the non-striker's end.

M Siraj to K Williamson, OUT! Colin takes it near the ropes. Relief or Siraj as Williamson departs. What an innings this has been! So close yet so far. Siraj bowls a length ball down leg, Kane shuffles across to swing his bat but gets a top edge to it. The ball balloons towards fine leg and de Grandhomme just manages to hold on to the catch. 20 from the last 5 balls!

20 needed from last 6 balls. Edge-of-the-seat contest! Mohammed Siraj has been handed the responsibility to defend 19 runs. Sometimes this kind of a situation can get the better off a youngster. Can he hold his nerves?

Tim Southee to M Pandey, FOUR! Boundary to end the over. Full ball on off, Pandey drills it over covers to the fence.

Tim Southee to M Pandey, Very good ball from Southee. Full and wide outside off, Pandey thinks it is a wide and leaves it alone. Only to see it inside the tramline.

Tim Southee to K Williamson, Sloppy work from Negi at short third man. Slower ball outside off, Kane at first looks to hit it over fine leg but at the last moment guides it towards short third man. Pawan there cannot collect the ball cleanly and the batsmen take a run.

Tim Southee to M Pandey, The batsman has driven it straight down the ground. One run added to the total.
