Royal Challengers Bangalore got their 2016 Indian Premier League off to a blistering start, smashing 227 in a 45-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad in Bangalore. AB de Villiers blasted 82 from 42 balls for RCB, with seven fours and six sixes, putting on 157 for the second wicket with Virat Kohli (71 off 51 balls) after Chris Gayle fell cheaply for one.Shane Watson (19 off 8) smashed three-straight sixes later in the innings, and 18-year-old Sarfaraz Khan a stunning 35 not out off 10 balls as RCBs star-studded batting line-up racked up 227-4 from their 20 overs.Sunrisers skipper David Warner cracked a 21-ball fifty in reply before falling to his former international team-mate, Watson, in the ninth over - his side ultimately falling short on 182-6.After being put into bat by Sunrisers, Gayle was somewhat unlucky to be bowled round his legs by Bhuvneshwar Kumar (2-55) in the second over, the ball deflecting off his thigh pad onto the stumps.But De Villiers signalled the start of RCBs blistering assault when taking 15 from Ashish Nehras fourth over - striking two fours and a huge straight six - while 16 came from Kumars fifth.Matters were made worse for Sunrisers as Nehra left the field with an injury to his foot, one ball into his third over and the 11th of the innings and RCB punished the depleted attack, picking up a sensational 139 runs from the final 10 - De Villiers reaching his fifty off 27 balls.Kohli was even more emphatic in notching his half century, hitting legspinner Karn Sharma (0-57) for a huge six over wide long-on off his 40th ball, but finally fell in the 16th over, beaten by a Kumar yorker.Unfazed, Watson came in and smoked Sharma for three sixes in a row before the impressive Mustafizur Rahman (2-26) picked him and De Villiers up with back-to-back balls.Again RCB quickly bounced back - Sarfaraz smacking four fours and a six in five-straight deliveries as Kumars penultimate over of the innings went for 28.Faced with a daunting 228-run target, Warner (58 off 25) didnt waste any time, smashing the first of his five sixes off Adam Milnes second over - 35 runs coming off the first three.That momentum was somewhat stalled as offspinner Parvez Rasool (1-31) bowled Shikhar Dhawan for eight, but Warner smacked 19 from legspinner Yuzvendra Chahals first over to bring up his fifty and continue Sunrisers charge.He finally fell to Watson (2-30) in the ninth, the first of four wickets to fall for 15 runs in three overs, and although Ashish Reddy (32 off 17) and Eoin Morgan (22no off 18) put on 46 for the sixth wicket, Sunrisers left themselves with too much to do.Reddy hit Chahal for a pair of sixes in the 14th over, but with 89 needed from the final five, he was then bowled by Watson.Sharma had a bit of fun with an unbeaten 26 off 17 balls, striking three fours and a six in the final overs, but Sunrisers fell 45 short.Watch continued coverage of the IPL on Sky Sports, with the next live action seeing Kolkata Knight Riders take on Mumbai Indians from 3pm on Sky Sports 2 on Wednesday.
