Travis Head was the centurion for Sunrisers, scoring 102 runs in 41 deliveries before being dismissed by Lockie Ferguson. He was supported by a 67 from Heinrich Klaasen, with all the remaining batters scoring above 30 to help them set the humongous total.
RCB have gotten off to a good start in the run chase, and it will be interesting to see whether they manage to come close to shattering the hopes of the visitors.
