SRH has been looking for a good combination of players, they excluded david warner from the playing 11, i guess that did not help them. The bowling was not good. Fielding and catching was also not good. SRH have to win most of their remaining matches if they have to qualify for the playoffs
RR batting clicked today. The top order performed. Bowling, fielding and catching was also good. This huge margin win should boost their spirits.

Jos Buttler did what Kieron Pollard did yesterday although it was in first innings.
RR's chances of making into playoffs depends much on Jos and Sanju Samson with likes of Ryan Parag, David Miller and Yashashwi Jaiswal not scoring much.
Punjab Kings will be less effective without KL Rahul although Mayank Agarwal led them satisfactorily, but their middle order and bowling is a major concern for them.
both teams depends on key players.
Even RCB depends on kohli, devillers and maxwell.
They need different players to perform every game, then they have more chances to qualify.
Yeah, RCB's Rajat Patidar, Washington Sundar and Shahbaz Ahmed are yet to show their potential, any runs they can score will be handy and gives more confidence to the trio you mentioned.
Sadly, there won't be any action today because couple of players from KKR tested positive.
