Sunrisers Hyderabad's hopes of qualifying for the Indian Premier League playoffs have taken a major blow.

Kane Williamson's men lost to Royal Challengers Bangalore by four wickets on Saturday night.

After losing the toss and being made to bat first, Sunrisers made 175 for 7, a total that their opponents passes with four balls remaining.
