IPL: RCB too good for Sunrisers, win by 45 runs

April 12, 2016 23:47

Sunrisers: 182/6 (20 overs) vs RCB: 227/4

Scorecard:

It's party time at Bengaluru's M Chinnaswamy Stadium with the home team recording a massive victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad.

It was a superb all-round effort to record their first points on the board.

Watson's inclusion has surely given solidity to this RCB unit.

U-19 star Sarfaraz's 35 off 10 balls received praise from Gayle as well.

But it was poster boys AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli, who stood out powering their side to 227 runs.

Mustafizur Rahman and Warner were the only two players to do well for the Sunrisers. Nehra has hurt his groin and is likely to join Yuvraj Singh in the injury list.

They surely have a lot of homework to do ahead of their next game.

For RCB, they surely look at their entertaining best in this edition as well.

But, the big question: Can RCB finally win their maiden title in 2016?

"Awesome knocks by @davidwarner31 @imVkohli @ABdeVilliers17 good start to the season @SunRisers 182 on the board @RCB too good today," tweets SRH player Yuvrah Singh.

Parvez Rasool was the stand-out bowler for us, Kohli said after the victory.

AB showed us he is the best batsman of this generation: Kohli
