Sunrisers Hyderabad defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore by 4 runs, containing RCB at 137/6 while defending 141 in the 52nd match of the IPL 2021. Kane Williamson, the winning captain, was also adjudged the man of the match for 29 ball 31 knock in the first innings and for inflicting Maxwell's run out which brought the game in their favour. 

After the win, SRH captain Williamson said, "It's been a really tough season but it was great to see these small improvements. The conditions are challenging and to see the fight and the heart in the second half was great to see. It was about trying to maximise the powerplay on this pitch. The ball held in the surface and you had to take a couple of steps back to go forward again. We got to a challenging total. We knew things wouldn't happen quickly with the ball today"

"Nice to dismiss Maxwell - dismissing him one way or another was the thing to be done. To close it out at the death, to turn up and show the fight when we're not in contention, was great to see. Umran certainly is special. We've seen him in the nets for a couple of seasons. Special opportunity for him and it's not surprising to see him come and do well. Been a really valuable addition to the side."
