RBC 114/1; Mustafiz bowls for SRH

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RBC) were for 114 for one wicket against Sunrisers Hyderabad SRH in the final of the Indian Premier League.
Chris Gayle made 76. Virat Kohli was batting on 74 and 30 runs respectively.
Gayle made his 76 off 38 balls while Kohli scored 32 from 25 balls.

Bangladesh seamer Mustafizur Rahman was bowling when this report was field at 11:10pm on Sunday. He bowled two overs and got no wicket till then.

An earlier report said: Cutting blitz after Warner assault powered Sunrisers Hyderabad to 208 against Bangalore.

The Sunrisers have scored their massive total losing seven wickets.
Skipper David Warner (69 off 38 balls) laid a strong base at the top on Sunday but Bangalore fought back in the death overs to thwart Hyderabad's efforts of taking the game away from them.
But some spectacular hitting in the final overs by Ben Cutting (39 off 15 balls) made sure Hyderabad posted in excess of 200.
Neither team have ever won the title of the lucrative Twenty20 tournament.
Electing to bat first, Warner and Shikhar Dhawan (25) were off to a breezy start at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
The duo hammered 19 runs off Shane Watson's fifth over and 13 more from the next over by Chris Gayle as Hyderabad raced to 59 at the end of powerplay.
Legspinner Yuzvendra Chahal, second-highest wicket-taker behind Bhuvneshwar Kumar, took out Dhawan in the next over but Warner kept his foot on the gas and blazed away to his half-century off just 24 deliveries.
Moises Henriques (4) departed in a hurry but Yuvraj Singh, who is playing his first IPL final, joined Warner and creamed two boundaries and a six in three balls to maintain the brisk scoring rate.
Having cracked eight boundaries and three sixes, Warner tried to slash hard at seamer Sreenath Aravind but gave a thick edge to short third man.
Yuvraj seemed up for the task in the death overs when he clubbed a Chahal floater deep into the stands for a huge 107-metre six.
Sunrisers' hopes of a late flourish, however, took a blow, albeit temporarily, when Chris Jordan sent Yuvraj back. The visitors were 148-5 with 3.5 overs still remaining.
Aussie allrounder Cutting then launched a spectacular assault to bludgeon 52 runs off the last three overs, hitting three sixes and as many boundaries to rack up the highest total ever posted in an IPL final.
With a challenging total on the board, Hyderabad will bank on their strong bowling unit to curb the efforts of Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers and Shane Watson, the likes of whom are well capable of hunting down such imposing targets, according to a news agency. -bz
