Hyderabad: Swashbuckling opener David Warner slammed a whirlwind 50-ball 92, to set up a comfortable 15-run win for Sunrisers Hyderabad over Royal Challengers Bangalore, in their IPL match here on Saturday.

Warner hit nine fours and five sixes and shared a 124-run stand for the second wicket with Kane Williamson (50) to power Hyderabad to an imposing 194/5, after they were put into bat. The start of the match was delayed due to rain.

The hosts then returned to restrict Bangalore for 179/6 and notch up their fourth win in seven matches. It was RCB's fourth loss in six matches.

For Hyderabad, all the five bowlers -- Ashish Nehra (1/32), Bhuvneshwar Kumar (1/36), Mustafizur Rahman (1/34), Barinder Sran (1/36) and Moises Henriques (1/40) picked up one wicket each.

Chasing for the first time this season, RCB lost their first wicket when skipper Virat Kohli (14) stepped out and tried to play an uppish shot only to hold out to Ashish Reddy at backward point.

Lokesh Rahul smashed a 28-ball 51, studded with six boundaries and a six, but he was dismissed by Henriques on the last ball of the 10th over. He was caught behind by Naman Ojha as RCB slipped to 83/2.

AB de Villiers had conjured up hopes of a successful run-chase for a brief period, but he was soon caught at long-on by a diving Williamson. The South African blasted 47 runs off 32 balls with the help of three fours and two sixes.

Shane Watson, too, was back to the pavilion when he tried to steal a second run and Sran's throw found him short of wicket in the 12th over.

Sachin Baby (27) and Kedar Jadhav (25 not out) tried their bit, but it was too little too late.

Earlier, Warner played a captain's knock, sharing a 124-run stand with Williamson, to lay the foundation for a huge score.

Playing his first game in IPL-9 after recovering from an injury, Williamson was the perfect foil to Warner in an innings where he blasted seven boundaries in 38 balls. (PTI)
