Shimron Hetmyer (75) and Gurkeerat Singh (65) forged a 144-run stand for the fourth wicket to help💝 Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) end their IPL 2019 campaign on a winning note. The duo notched up half-centuries to power RCB to a four-wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the M. Chinnaswamy stadium on Saturday.
SRH will have to wait until Sunday – for the result of MI vs KKR clash at the Wankhede – to see if they have qualified for the playoffs.
Earlier, Kane Williamson (70 not out) led from ♋the front a😼s the Orange army posted 175/7 in a must-win encounter against Virat Kohli and Co.
Here’s how Twitter reacted:
It's important that other people also contribute and since we have seen the contribution today, we saw RCB getting past the line

What explains playing with three overseas players when Hetmeyer was sitting on the bench?? Understandable when four overseas were available and he wasn’t one of them after the first few games…
