Royal Challengers Bangalore claimed a victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad to move to fifth in the table and keep their hopes of qualifying for play-offs alive. AB de Villiers starred with the bat and then took a breathtaking catch to send Twitter into a frenzy. Williamson played a brilliant knock of 81 runs but couldn't take his side home. Here are the best Twitter reactions.

Sunrisers Hyderabad played their hearts out

Spirited effort from the Sunrisers trying to chase 219. Williamson was absolutely superb. Still can’t get over that catch from De villiers to dismiss Hales. RCB are well and truly in it , and after looking down and out after the first half are now at No5 in points table #RCBvSRH
