DC 92/4 in 12.4 Overs (Target 172) | DC vs RCB Live Match Score: Harshal Patel Removes Marcus Stoinis
OUT! Marcus Stoinis edges one to the wicket-keeeper and departs. Patel rolled his arm over and bowled a slower ball. Stoinis swings his bat but fails to get a proper connection. The ball takes a fint edge and flies to AB de Villiers behind, who takes a fine catch. Stoinis c de Villiers b Harshal Patel 22(17)
With the required run rate touching 11, Rishabh Pant and Marcus Stoinis need to up the ante to keep DC in the hunt. With seven wickets in hand, Pant and Stoinis can afford to express themselves and with dew coming into play, we can witness some exciting contest in the end overs. However, RCB are definitely in a better position now.
OUT! What a bizarre way to go out after settling feet in the track? Harshal Patel bowls a short a wide delivery which was asking to be hit but what Shaw did? edged it to AB de Villiers behind the stumps. Third warrior down for Delhi Capitals. Prithvi Shaw c de Villiers b Harshal Patel 21(18)
OUT! Mohammed Siraj gets his first wicket of the night and Steve Smith is the victim. It was an absolute jaffer of an out-swinger which took the outside edge of Smith’s blade and AB de Villiers completed an easy catch. DC are two down now. Smith c de Villiers b Siraj 4(5)
OUT! Big wicket this for RCB as the Orange cap holder Shikhar Dhawan goes back after scoring just six runs. The southpaw went for a big hit against Kyle Jamieson but didn’t get the elevation and Yuzvendra Chahal took a good catch at the boundary ropes. Dhawan c Chahal b Jamieson 6(7)
Delhi Capitals wouldn’t have aimed for a better start while chasing 172. Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw have started positively as DC collect 23 in their first two overs. RCB need a wicket soon.
So, after a brief delay due to a sandstorm, the players are back in the middle as DC’s chase gets underway. Like usual, Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw are the two openers for Delhi while Daniel Sams, playing his first game of the season, will start proceedings with the ball.
Some late impetus from AB de Villiers means RCB post a brilliant total at the trick Ahmedabad track. The South African dasher finishes at 75 off 42 balls as RCB muster 171/5 in their allotted 20 overs. Virat Kohli should be happy with his men’s efforts and DC have a job to do. Not to forget, dew will play a part as the game progresses.
The scoring rate has indeed gone down after Rajat Patidar’s departure but RCB don’t have any time to slow down with only three overs left in the innings. Fortunately for Bangalore, AB de Villiers is still out in the middle and he’ll want to earn as many runs as possible in the final few overs. However, the pitch is assisting the bowlers and De Villiers need a solid plan.
OUT! Finally a wicket for Delhi Capitals and it’s Rajat Patidar who has to go back after scoring 31 off 22 balls. The young dasher went for another big hit against Axar Patel but Steve Smith ran from long-on to complete a brilliant catch. Rajat Patidar c Smith b Axar 31(22)
