Kochi: A B de Villiers smashed a blistering unbeaten half century as Royal Challengers Banglaore thumped debutantes Kochi Tuskers Kerala by six wickets in their Indian Premier League here today.

Coming in at 48 for two in the sixth over, South African de Villiers (54 not out) anchored the RCB innings with a strokeful knock which came from 40 balls as the visitors chased down 162 with eight balls to spare on a batting track.

Needing 33 from the last three overs, de Villiers smashed three sixes in the 18th over to take 20 runs from medium pacer Raiphi Gomez to reach his fifty and that changed the complexion of the game.
