Sunrisers Hyderabad handed a eight wicket defeat to the Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Chinnaswamy stadium. Captain David Warner slammed a 27-ball 57 and then Shikhar Dhawan guided the innings with an unbeaten 50. Earlier, Sunrisers won the toss and elected to field. The move almost back-fired as Chris Gayle and Virat Kohli got off to a a flying start. However, some discipline bowling from Trent Boult led to a RCB collapse and except Ab de Villiers, the entire middle order gave in. From 77/1. RCB were shot out for 166.

Man-to-man, RCB's roster is twinkling with the best limited overs batsmen in the world. Hyderabad have the World Cup's best bowler in their rank, New Zealander Trent Boult. Add Dale Steyn to Boult and it perhaps makes for the best new-ball attack in IPL. But will the South African make the Hyderabad XI? Steyn did not play the first match against Chennai Super Kings that Hyderabad lost by 45 runs.

Sunrisers will be worried about their bowling. Of the four Chennai wickets they took on Saturday, three were run outs. Ishant Sharma went for 46 in his three overs and leg-spinner Karn Sharma conceded 51 in his four. They can't afford this 'luxury' against a batting line-up that has Chris Gayle, AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli.

Gayle has struck form. RCB will look for consistency for this big Jamaican. Gayle slammed a 56-ball 96 versus KKR to win his record 16th MOM award in IPLs. De Villiers, after a dream World Cup, will look to fire while skipper Kohli needs runs to silence his critics. RCB's batting must add muscle to Gayle's power.
