Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) won their third game of this year's Indian Premier League with a four-run victory over Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in Abu Dhabi.
SRH defended 141 in 20 overs by restricting RCB to 137 for 6 to win.
Virat Kohli's side are still third in the table and seem unlikely to overtake second-placed Chennai Super Kings as they have a lower net run rate.
A top-two finish means teams have two opportunities to qualify for the final, which is on October 15.
