Bangalore, India: Skipper David Warner's sparkling 50 helped Sunrisers Hyderabad survive a punishing blitz by Chris Gayle to edge out Royal Challengers Bangalore by eight runs in the Indian Premier League final on Sunday.

Defending 208 to claim their maiden IPL title, Hyderabad restricted Virat Kohli's Bangalore to 200 for seven at the M Chinnaswamy stadium with Gayle's 38-ball 76 in vain.
