Twitter Reactions: Jason Holder and Kane Williamson ‘Play Bold’ to eliminate RCB from IPL 2020

Kane Williamson’s gutsy half-century followed by Jason Holder’s cameo with the bat guided Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) to a 6-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the eliminator of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 in Abu Dhabi on Friday.

In pursuit of a 132-run target, Williamson (50 not out) and Jason Holder (24 not out) added a 65-run stand for the fifth wicket. They chased down the tricky target with two balls to spare.

Earlier, SRH skipper David Warner won the toss and asked Virat Kohli’s RCB to bat first. Holder and T Natarajan were among wickets as the Orange Army restricted the Challengers to 131/7 in the first innings of the Eliminator. AB de Villiers was the top-scorer for RCB with 56 runs off 43 balls as his side went through a terrible start, losing captain Kohli in the second over. Aaron Finch scored 32 off 30 balls.

While RCB got eliminated from the tournament, SRH will face Delhi Capitals (DC) in Qualifier 2 of IPL 2020 on Sunday at the same venue.

Here’s how Twitter reacted:

Jason Holder is fast putting himself into the much desired class of seam bowling all-rounders in this T20 franchise format format now.

RCB had a wonderful campaign. Unfortunately they lost their last 5 games but they’ve had a lot of positives. Padikkal performed well. Chahal had a wonderful season. Sundar was good in PP. Kohli-ABD remain integral parts. Inclusion of Morris made a difference. Hard luck

Gutted!
