Mitchell Starc came on to bowl the 18th over for Royal Challengers Bangalore against Delhi Daredevils in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2014 match. He started well, conceding just a couple of runs off the first two balls before being hit for a boundary. Starc got his revenge when he had him bowled for a well made 48. Rahul Shukla was the new man in for Delhi but could not make contact with the bat off the first two balls.
Abu Nechim came on to bowl with 64 needed off the last 24 balls. Duminy started the over with a boundary down the ground. He followed it up with a dot ball outside off. Duminy could only get a leg bye after that, before Jadhav hit a six over covers. The next ball was a boundary through midwicket, as Delhi looked like getting back into the game. A no ball for height followed that. The final ball might have been another boundary but Gayle fielded it at point.
Yuvraj Singh bowled his final over, the 16th of the innings, and was very tight again. He nearly had JP Duminy as the left-hander tried to sweep him and got an inside edge. The ball nearly clipped the stumps, but Duminy was safe. He bowled a very good over, and went for just four runs. His spell ended with figures of four overs for just 28 runs.
Earlier, Yuzvendra Chahal bowled the 15th over. He started very well to Kedar Jadhav, going for just a single off the first two balls. JP Duminy, who had played Chahal particularly well till then, got just a single off the next ball. Another single to Jadhav was followed by a six off the final delivery of Chahal’s spell.
Yuvraj Singh was brought on for his third over. He started well, going for just a single. After the batsmen treated him with due respect, taking just four off the first four deliveries, Duminy managed to score a boundary off his bowling. Yuvraj followed up well with a dot ball to end with.
Muttiah Muralitharan bowled the 13th over, and was rewarded almost immediately as JP Duminy was nearly cleaned up while sweeping. After conceding just five runs in the over, Dinesh Karthik tried to go for a big hit only to be caught easily in the deep by Yuzvendra Chahal.
Earlier, Yuzvendra Chahal bowled the 12th over for Royal Challengers Bangalore against Delhi Daredevils. JP Duminy greeted him with a big six down long on. He got a single off the next ball to put Kevin Pietersen on strike. He took a couple of runs before Duminy hit another six over midwicket. Chahal was guilty of bowling far too short to both batsmen, but Duminy especially was very severe. Chahal got rid of Pietersen in the over.
Earlier, while Bangalore were batting, Yuvraj Singh played big sixes off Imran Tahir, the leg-spinner. He even picked his googly to smash him for a six. He helped Bangalore to collect 27 runs of the final over. He was at his willowy best in the end overs and that helped Bangalore to end up with 186 for four of their allotted 20 overs.
