Royal Challengers Bengaluru outclassed the batting might of Sunrisers Hyderabad to register their second win of IPL 2024. Exactly one month after their opening win against Punjab Kings on March 25, RCB have their second win of the tournament on April 25 as they snapped a six-match losing streak in their ninth game of the season. En route to their win over SRH, RCB have also shattered an all-time record of the batting giants.
RCB have amassed a total of 468 runs against the Sunrisers in the league stage of IPL 2024. They made 206/7 batting first at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad on Thursday, April 25. The Bengaluru-based franchise had scored 262/7 in their first clash against the 2016 champions at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, the clash where SRH made a record 287.
RCB now own the record for most runs scored against a team in the league stage of an IPL season. Their 262 and 206 run totals see them aggregate 468 runs against SRH in the two games of the tournament. These are the most runs made by a team against an opponent in the league phase of an IPL season. The previous record was held by SRH against RCB - 458 runs (287 and 171).
