RCB vs DC: Powerplay Done!
DC have lost Captain Warner too! Warner was looking dangerous today, he was playing his shots. A slower delivery by the debutant deceives him as toe ends one straight to Virat Kohli at mid wicket. Warner goes for 19, DC 32/4 after 6 overs. They need 143 runs from 84 balls!
And now Dhull departs!
Siraj traps Yash Dhull plumb in front! An optimistic review but it shows three reds. Disaster for Capitals. DC 2/3 after 2.2 overs.
Parnell gets Marsh!
And a familiar start for DC! Wickets tumble early. Virat Kohli shouts mine and completes a clean catch to dismiss Mitch Marsh off the bowling of Wayne Parnell. He is gone for duck and DC are 2/2 (2 overs).
Shaw gone early!
A direct hit from RCB’s impact player sends back DC’s impact player. This is a stunning effort in the field. Good dive, one handed-stop and then a bullseye throw to inflict a direct hit. He didn’t turn up with bat but certainly leaving an impact with that fielding.
DC 1/1 (1 over).
UPDATE: Prithvi Shaw is the impact player for DC, comes in for Mustafizur Rahman! He will open the innings with David Warner.
RCB vs DC: RCB end with 174!
See-saw kind of innings for RCB! At the halfway stage, they look comfortable to go past 200. But the overs 12-14 triggered a mini collapse and RCB never recovered. Their impact played failed to deliver any impact as he managed only 15 runs in his 22 balls. RCB end with 174/6.
DC need 175 runs to put up their first win on the board! The wicket is certainly a bit slow and holding up, DC would like to maximize the powerplay to ensure a smooth chase. Their batting has blown hot-and-cold this season and this could make for a interesting second half of the game!
RCB vs DC: 3 quick wickets follow Lomror!
First Axar Patel removed Harshal Patel. The appeal was for stumping, but ball did catch a faint edge. Harshal is dismissed caught behind.
And then the first ball of the next over Kuldeep gets Maxwell with a loopy delivery. Maxwell slogs but ends up slicing it straight in the air.
And then Kuldeep gets DK very next ball, team hattrick for DC! This was a half tracker, was there to be hit and DK goes back to pull. Doesn’t strike with enough conviction and holes out to deep mid-wicket.
Impact Player (RCB): Anuj Rawat comes in for Mahipal Lomror! he is at crease!
RCB 134/6 (15 overs)… This is some turnaround from the Delhi Capitals!.. RCB have lost their last 4 wickets for just 17 runs!
Successful DRS, second wicket for Marsh!
Marsh was very confident and demanded a review. Warner agreed and went for the DRS which showed a clear spike on the ultra edge. his was a cross seam delivery very wide outside off. Lomror took a swipe and ball did catch a faint edge. Mahipal Lomror departs for 26. RCB are 119/3 after 13 overs.
Partnership broken!
Lalit Yadav breaks the partnership as Virat Kohli hits a juicy full toss straight to Yash Dhull. This looked destined for a six as Kohli backed away for a big heave leg side. But goes towards the longest part of the ropes towards deep mid-wicket. Virat Kohli gone for 50 off 34.
Maxwell gets going in no time. strikes two sixes off Lalit Yadav taking his over for 14 runs. RCB 103/2 (11 overs).
