Bengaluru, April 25: Constant drizzle has delayed the toss between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2017 here on Tuesday (April 25).

Not a single over was being bowled in the match in front of a jam-packed M Chinnaswamy Stadium. Both the teams had to settle with a point each.

The covers could not be removes as rain never stopped completely and kept the players waiting in the dressing room.

Stung by a batting debacle, Bangalore faced the onerous task of picking up pieces when they faced defending champions Hyderabad. With this draw their singular aim of keeping their hopes alive in the tournament seem bleak.

It will be an arduous task for Virat Kohli and Co after being dismissed for 49 by KKR - the lowest ever total in the history of IPL, and the second match being washed away by rain to win all their remaining matches to fancy their chances of making it to the play-offs.

With only five points from eight games, RCB need to get their campaign back on track as the tournament has entered its second phase.

However, there won't be much of a worry for David Warner-led Sunrisers Hyderabad as they are way up in the points table and look a settled side.
