RR v RCB: RCB won by 46 runs

AB de Villiers blazed his way to the second fastest fifty in this edition of the Indian Premier League before KP Appanna did a star turn with the ball to help Royal Challengers Bangalore post a convincing 46-run win over Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur on Monday.

After the undefeated 122-run fourth-wicket stand between de Villiers (59 off 23 Balls, 3x4’s, 5x6’s) and Tillakaratne Dilshan (76 off 58 balls, 10x4’s, 1x6’s) propelled Bangalore to 189 for three, Appanna mystified the Rajasthan batsman with his slow left-arm bowling, which saw him return figures of 4-19, at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium.

Scorecard:

Royal Challengers Bangalore : 189/3 in 20 overs

Tillakaratne Dilshan - 76*
AB de Villiers - 59*

Brad Hogg - 2/39

Rajasthan Royals : 143/7 in 20 overs

Rahul Dravid - 58

KP Appanna - 4/19

Man of the Match : AB de Villiers
