Ben Cutting's brilliant all-round show in 2016 IPL final that helped SRH beat RCB
The 2016 IPL final was played at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. RCB had a dream run as they earned a dramatic qualification for the playoffs by winning consecutive games from a point where it seemed impossible for them to qualify.
With the final being played at their home ground, it was a perfect setting for them to finally end their trophy drought. However, SRH and Ben Cutting had other plans on the night.
SRH batted first and were at 158/6 from 17.2 overs at one stage before Cutting played a sensational knock. The right-hander smashed an unbeaten 39 off just 15 balls, hitting three fours and four sixes at a strike-rate of 260 to push the total to 208/7 in the end, which seemed out of sight earlier.
RCB were cruising with openers Chris Gayle and Virat Kohli having added 114 runs for the first wicket in just 10.3 overs. Cutting then dismissed Gayle in the 11th over, and it was from here that RCB collapsed after being in the driver's seat. They were eventually restricted to 200/7, falling agonisingly short of the target and the trophy.
Cutting returned with figures of 2/35 from his four overs and, for his all-round display, was also awarded 'Player of the Match.'
