| 0.0 : STRATEGIC TIME OUT! Bangalore off to a flier. Devdutt Padikkal has been a revelation so far, he has been fearless in his approach lofting, cutting, driving. The young lad has showed what he has. Finch, on the other hand, is a seasoned campaigner but after that struggle early on in the innings he is starting to settle out.

| It has been an innings of two halves for Bangalore. After being put into bat by Hyderabad they unleashed their new weapon in their arsenal, Devdutt Padikkal onto the field and he did not disappoint as he went onto give a brisk start to Bangalore and in the meantime went onto rake up his maiden Indian T20 league fifty. Finch gave him good company as the duo added 90 for the first wicket. But then came a slump as from 90/0 they went onto be 123/3. Kohli too departed and ABD took upon himself as he |

| 4.6 : STRATEGIC TIME OUT! Just when Bangalore were cruising along nicely, Shankar came from nowhere to take the wicket of the debutant Devdutt Padikkal. On first ball of the next over, his partner Aaron Finch too walked back and then came the two experienced pair of AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli. The duo started rotating the strike and putting pressure on the fielders. Just when the time came to accelerate, Kohli departed holing out on. Now everything relies on ABD and the young cricketers. Shivam Du |
| Devdutt Padikkal starts by saying that it was difficult to bat early on but once he settled then it became easy.

Signs off by saying that if their bowlers bowl brilliantly then |
| Talking about Hyderabad's bowling then you can only say that they started well and ended well. What about the middle then? They were taken to the cleaners by the young lad Padikal. After the first time out they managed to regroup and cameback with a bang to take two quick wickets. They were successful in keeping the duo of Kohli and ABD to just singles and doubles which yielded the reward of Kohli's wicket. ABD though managed to sail through but he too fell just before the innings ended. For the |

| In the battle of the South, Bangalore emerge victorious. What an all round performance it has been from Kohli's men. Chasing 164 for victory, Hyderabad started on a positive note but a brilliant reflex action from Umesh Yadav saw David Warner run out. Then Bairstow and Manish Pandey combined to bring the Hyderabad innings back on track with a 71-run stand. But the introduction of Yuzvendra Chahal changed the game on its head as he took the wickets of Manish Pandey, Jonny Bairstow and Vijay Shana |
| A scintillating bowling performance from the Bangalore bowlers. The only blot was Umesh Yadav as he conceded 48 in his 4 overs. The most successful one for them was Yuzvendra Chahal who in his 4 overs took 3 important wickets and conceeded just 18 runs. Saini was smart enough as he bowled brilliantly during the death overs as he took two wickets in one over. Shivam Dube also took a couple as Steyn ended the Hyderabad innings with a wicket to his name. |
| Earlier in the day, after opting to field first, Hyderabad started well but were lost during the middle overs conceding a lot of runs. The pair of Devdutt Padikkal and Aaron Finch started well amassing 90 runs in 11 overs. The duo though departed in quick succession but the platform was set for them to explode. Virat Kohli failed in a rarest of rare thing but AB de Villiers held one end to navigate the Bangalore innings. His fifty in the end powered Bangalore to a competitive total. The score in |

| AB de Villiers is down for an interview. He starts by saying it is a good start from the team. Adds that it was important for him to get out there and play with confidence. Mentions they have not played cricket for 6 months and it is a good way for them to arrive in the league. De Villiers also says that Chahal bowled very well today. Ends by saying that he is happy with his comeback. |
| David Warner, Hyderabad skipper, says they are disappointed with their performance. On his dismissal he says that he does not remember the last time got out in this fashion. On Mitchell Marsh's injury, he says that it does not look good and it seems that he might not bowl over again atleast for sometime. On the run chase, he says that they had it under control but the over from Chahal changed the game. On his future games he says that they will have it sorted in the team meetings before their ne |
| Virat Kohli, Bangalore skipper, says that they are happy with the victory. Adds that Chahal bowled very well and the game turned after that particular over from Chahal. He further praises Chahal by saying that he showed that if you have skills you can excel anywhere and in any condition. Mentions that Devdutt Padikkal played very well and Finch supported him very well. Kohli also says that 163 turned out to be a competitive total but their target was around 170. He credits ABD for his effort |
