The IPL match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bangalore was today called off without a ball being bowled as incessant rain made the ground unplayable. Both the sides got one point each from the abandoned match at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.Heavy rain lashed the city in the evening but stopped an hour before the start of the match. But, it began drizzling just before the scheduled toss time and it continued non-stop. There was no toss at all. Though the cut-off time for a five-over shootout match was 11.26 pm, the umpires called off the match at around 11pm. With the one point from the abandoned match, RCB jumped to sixth spot with five points from eight matches while SRH remained at third position with nine points from eight games. SRH had won the first-leg match between the two sides, the tournament's inaugural match, by 35 runs in Hyderabad.
