Cameron Green has broken out of a tough patch in the IPL by producing his best batting and bowling figures of the season to help struggling Royal Challengers Bengaluru down Pat Cummins' high-flying Sunrisers Hyderabad.
The 24-year-old Green has found it hard to impose himself for RCB since his big-money move from Mumbai Indians but the gifted allrounder finally hit his imposing stride on Thursday to help silence the Hyderabad fans at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.
After his season's best unbeaten 37, off just 20 balls and featuring five boundaries, provided the late-innings impetus to push RCB to a challenging 7-206, he then bowled two miserly overs for just 12 runs, while taking two crucial wickets, to help restrict Sunrisers to 8-171 and pave the way for a comprehensive 35-run win.
