AB de Villiers shines as Royal Challengers Bangalore beat Sunrisers Hyderabad

AB de Villiers hits a game-winning 89 runs in just 41 balls for the Royal Challengers Bangalore as they beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by four wickets in the IPL.

Tonight's IPL game in Bangalore was won by the home side as Royal Challengers Bangalore came through in the last over to beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by four wickets.

Bangalore won the toss and chose to field - a decision that looked odd when Aaron Finch got off to a hot start.

The Aussie smashed 13 quick runs but was then gone in the third over when he edged Mitchell Starc's delivery through to Parthiv Patel.

Fellow opener Shikhar Dhawan would go on to score 37, but it was David Warner who starred for the Sunrisers, scoring 61 off 49 balls before he was bowled by Starc in the last over.

Bangalore opener Chris Gayle hit two sixes on his way to a quickfire 27, but the West Indian was outshone by AB De Villiers, whose unbeaten 89 won the game for the Royal Challengers.

The South African crashed a whopping eight sixes and six fours, including a game-winning boundary with the penultimate ball.

The Royal Challengers improve to a record of three wins and three losses, while the Sunrisers now have two wins and four defeats.
