There was no end to Royal Challengers Bangalore’s woeful run this Indian Premier League as the Virat Kohli-led side suffered its sixth straight defeat while Delhi Capitals played like a unit to win by four wickets. @ BCCI
Delhi played like a unit and bag their third win from six games. @ BCCI
RCB batsmen found the going tough on a tough wicket after being invited to bat first and could only manage 149 for 8 in the stipulated 20 overs. @ BCCI
TRENDING NOW
With the ball not coming on to the bat, Kohli scored almost a-run-a-ball before hitting two sixes late in his innings, consuming 33 balls for his 41. @ BCCI
Had it not been for Kohli and Moeen Ali’s contributions, RCB would have been in deep trouble. Ali played a useful cameo that yielded 32 off 18 balls. @ BCCI
South Africa paceman Kagiso Rabada (4/21) accounted for four RCB batsmen to lead Delhi’s bowling attack, which also comprised Chris Morris (2/28), Axar Patel (1/22) and Sandeep Lamichhane (1/46). @ BCCI
Shreyas Iyer then played a captain’s knock, making a 50-ball 67 to guide Delhi Capitals to a comfortable win, bringing their IPL campaign back on track. @ BCCI
Iyer anchored the chase with some crucial partnerships as Delhi overhauled the target with 10 balls to spare. @ BCCI
Iyer smashed eight fours and two sixes in his 50-ball innings which helped Delhi grab the fifth place in the points table, snapping a two-match losing streak. @ BCCI
Chasing 150 to win, Iyer forged a 68-run partnership with opener Prithvi Shaw (28) after Shikhar Dhawan was dismissed by Tim Southee in the third ball of the innings. @ BCCI
In the 9th over, Pawan Negi removed Shaw after the batsman top-edged a delivery and was caught at deep square leg by Akshdeep Nath. @ BCCI
Iyer then shared 39 runs with Colin Ingram (22), who blasted two fours and a six in his 21-ball stay. @ BCCI
Ingram was then trapped by Moeen Ali in the 14th over while trying to play a shot over the leg side. @ BCCI
Rishabh Pant came out with intent, blasting a couple of fours, while Iyer too smashed a six off Yuzvendra Chahal in the 17th over but the skipper miscued a pull off Navdeep Saini and was caught at short cover by Chahal. @ BCCI
With just five runs needed, Delhi survived some anxious moment after losing Chris Morris (0) and Pant – both trying to clear the in-field and perishing in the process. @ BCCI
Axar Patel then smashed a four to take Delhi home. @ BCCI
