Player Of The Match
  • 16.3

    OUT! Bowled. Josh Hazlewood to Abishek Porel. Yorker, middle stump on the front foot pushing, missed. The Delhi Capitals' innings has come to a crashing halt at just 75 all out in 16.3 overs. It was a procession of wickets from the very start, and despite Abishek Porel's valiant 30, there was simply no support around him. Lokesh Rahul, Nitish Rana, and Axar Patel all fell cheaply, leaving the side reeling at 8 for 6 within the first four overs. David Miller's 19 and Kyle Jamieson's 12 provided some fight, but neither could build a partnership. Abishek Porel has been the lone bright spot, grinding out 30 not out off 33 balls, trying to hold the innings together. Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar were ruthless with the new ball, while Suyash Sharma's spin strangled the middle overs. Join us for the run chase shortly.

A cakewalk of a victory for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. This emphatic win not only boosts their net run rate but also serves as a perfect response after that setback against Delhi on their home soil. A new-ball masterclass from Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood set the tone, grabbing 7 wickets between them. Royal Challengers Bengaluru carried that momentum forward effortlessly, chasing down the target without any fuss, Devdutt Padikkal ending unbeaten with an explosive 34. After questions were raised about the Delhi Capitals' bowling in the previous game, the spotlight has now shifted firmly onto their batting unit, whilst Royal Challengers move into second place. Josh Hazlewood takes the Player of the Match award.
