Warriors found a timely hero in Ashwell Prince who blazed his way to a 55-ball 74 to help his side upset Royal Challengers Bangalore in a last-ball thriller in the Champions League Twenty20 tournament here today.
Warriors were in doldrums at 82 for four in the 12th over. But man of the match Prince, who batted with gay abandon, played a gutsy knock to steer his side to a stunning victory in front of 20,000 RCB supporters at the Chinnaswamy Stadium.
He found an able ally in skipper Johan Botha (42 from 24 balls) to produce a match-winning fifth-wicket partnership worth 73 runs in barely 39 balls.
