That's the end of the game and Royal Challengers Bangalore wrap up a massive victory winning by 7 wickets. Hobart Hurricanes was never in the game but that is more down to Royal Challengers Bangalore's excellent performance than it was the former's poor effort. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. All of the disciplines benefited greatly throughout the day. Hobart Hurricanes really were on a hiding to nothing. They were never expected to win today against Royal Challengers Bangalore and that's exactly how it played out.
