Highlights, Tata IPL 2022 DC vs RCB, Full Cricket Score: All-round Bangalore win by 16 runs

After 20 overs,Delhi Capitals 173/7 ( Axar Patel 10 , Kuldeep Yadav 10)

Needing to hit nearly every ball out of the park, Kuldeep can collect only a couple of boundaries in the first four deliveries, sealing the game in the process. Harshal Patel closes out the innings, conceding a single off each of the last two balls, as Royal Challengers Bangalore win by 16 runs to collect their fourth victory of the season — the first time they’ve won defending a target after three successful chases.

After 19 overs,Delhi Capitals 163/7 ( Axar Patel 9 , Kuldeep Yadav 1)

Hazlewood removes Thakur first ball as the Mumbaikar ends up getting a thick leading edge while going for a wild swing of the bat. Three fielders converge near backward point and the ball ultimately lands in DK’s gloves. Hazlewood nearly has a fourth wicket in the final delivery after a top-edge off Axar’s bat, the ball landing between the keeper and the bowler this time. Seven from the over, including a boundary to Axar in the fourth ball along with the wicket. Delhi Capitals need 27 to win from 6!

OUT! Thakur perishes after getting a thick outside edge as Hazlewood collects his third wicket of the evening! The all-rounder ended up skieing the ball, with keeper DK running to his right and calling out firmly for the catch, and comfortably pouching it in the end. DC 156/7

Thakur c Karthik b Hazlewood 17(9)

After 18 overs,Delhi Capitals 156/6 ( Shardul Thakur 17 , Axar Patel 3)

Harshal returns for the death overs. Does well to restrict Thakur and Patel to singles in the first three deliveries. Swing-and-miss for Thakur in the fourth, although he does connect in the fifth, resulting in the ball landing beyond the boundary cushion at deep midwicket. Collects only a single in the last ball as Kohli cuts the ball off at deep midwicket. 11 from the over. DC need 34 off 12.

After 17 overs,Delhi Capitals 145/6 ( Shardul Thakur 9 , Axar Patel 1)

Pant continues to strike the ball hard after tearing Hasaranga apart in the previous over, collecting a brace in the first ball followed by a clean strike over the midwicket fence for a maximum. The Delhi captain though perishes in the third ball, thanks to a one-handed screamer by Kohli at extra cover, inflicting a massive blow to Delhi’s hopes. Axar Patel walks in next. DC need 45 off 18, certainly not an impossible task given Thakur and Axar’s ability to tonk sixes at will.

WHAT A CATCH BY KOHLI! The former RCB skipper times his jump perfectly at extra cover to pull off a one-handed screamer after Pant slices a wide full-toss from Siraj, and falls over after losing balance. Situation looks even more grim for Delhi now. DC 142/6

Pant c Kohli b Siraj 34(17)

After 16 overs,Delhi Capitals 134/5 ( Rishabh Pant (C) (W) 26 , Shardul Thakur 7)

BIG OVER FOR DC — just what they needed to stay alive in the game! Thakur smashes the ball over long on for a maximum in the second delivery before getting off strike with a single off the third. Pant then continues to carnage, collecting a four and a six — the second one the result of a thick leading edge that ended up going over long off. 19 from the over. DC need 56 to win from the last 24 deliveries.

After 15 overs,Delhi Capitals 115/5 ( Rishabh Pant (C) (W) 15 , Shardul Thakur 0)

Outstanding over from Hazlewood as he removes Rovman Powell (0) and Lalit Yadav (1) in a space of six deliveries while giving away just three, including a wide in the final delivery. Delhi in deep trouble at the moment, and will need something special from Pant, who’s batting on 15 at the moment, and Shardul Thakur, the new man at the crease. DC need 75 off 30.

OUT! And now Lalit Yadav perishes for 1 as Hazlewood strikes for a second time in his third over! Yadav went for an ambitious pull after getting a short-pitched delivery from the Aussie seamer, but unfortunately found Prabhudessai — among the more agile fielders in the opposition — in the deep backward square leg region. DC 115/5

L Yadav c Prabhudessai b Hazlewood 1(4)

OUT! Rovman Powell departs for a golden duck, nicking a slower ball from Hazlewood to the keeper as Delhi lose two wickets in as many deliveries! DC 112/4

Powell c Karthik b Hazlewood 0(1)

After 14 overs,Delhi Capitals 112/3 ( Rishabh Pant (C) (W) 14 , )

Hasaranga continues. Pant goes for a paddle sweep in the first delivery, guiding the ball towards the fine leg fence for a welcome boundary. The DC skipper then collects a brace off the second courtesy a slog sweep towards deep midwicket. Single off the next two before Pant scoops the ball towards fine leg for another boundary. Marsh’s run out in the final ball in unfortunate fashion. DC need 78 off 36 with seven wickets in hand.

OUT! Mitchell Marsh’s struggle at the centre comes to an end, albeit indirectly after the ball deflects off Hasaranga’s hand onto the non-striker’s stumps after being struck firmly down the ground by Pant. DC 112/3

Marsh run out (Hasaranga) 14(24)

After 13 overs,Delhi Capitals 100/2 ( Mitchell Marsh 13 , Rishabh Pant (C) (W) 3)

Siraj returns, and nearly gets rid of Pant in this over as the DC skipper gets a thick top edge while looking for a slice, with Hasaranga failing to hold on to the catch near deep point. The 100 comes up for Delhi in this over. DC need 90 off 42.

After 12 overs,Delhi Capitals 95/2 ( Mitchell Marsh 10 , Rishabh Pant (C) (W) 1)

Outstanding over from Hasaranga, possibly match-defining, as Hasaranga gives away just two runs while getting the prized scalp of Warner, who departs for a 38-ball 66 after getting trapped leg-before in the third delivery. Skipper Rishabh Pant joins Marsh at the centre. DC need 95 off 48 at the end of this over.

OUT! Superb review by the Royal Challengers after an unsuccessful LBW appeal by Hasaranga against Warner, who departs after a blazing 66 off just 38 deliveries. Warner went for the reverse sweep, but missed completely and is trapped in front of what would be the off stump in his normal stance. Three reds on the review, and RCB are ecstatic! DC 94/2

Warner LBW Hasaranga 66(38)

After 11 overs,Delhi Capitals 93/1 ( David Warner 66 , Mitchell Marsh 9)

Harshal’s back. Warner brings out a well-timed flick over deep square leg in the third delivery for a maximum, and follows it up with an uppercut over backward point for a four three balls later. 14 from the over. Delhi need 97 off 54.

After 10 overs,Delhi Capitals 79/1 ( David Warner 54 , Mitchell Marsh 7)

Shahbaz returns on the other side of the timeout. Warner gets a thick leading edge while looking for a pull in the third delivery but luckily for him, the ball lands well short of long on. Tidy over from the left-arm spinner with just four coming off it. At the halfway stage, Delhi need another 111 to win from 60 balls.

After 9 overs,Delhi Capitals 75/1 ( David Warner 52 , Mitchell Marsh 5)

Tidy over from Maxwell with just five coming off it, including a brace to Warner in the last delivery. Warner, meanwhile, brings up his second half-century on the trot for the Capitals, taking just 29 deliveries for the same. Umpire signals timeout at the end of this over.

After 8 overs,Delhi Capitals 70/1 ( David Warner 49 , Mitchell Marsh 3)

Wanindu Hasaranga introduced in the eighth over. Warner and Marsh collect a single each before the former goes for a slog sweep towards deep midwicket, inching closer to his half-century with a maximum. Eight from the over.

After 7 overs,Royal Challengers Bangalore 42/3 ( Glenn Maxwell 20 , Suyash Prabhudessai 1)

Harshal Patel introduced after the powerplay, and he starts off on a tidy note, restricting Warner and Marsh to the one’s and twos. Superb piece of fielding by Prabhudessai at long on after Warner pushes the ball down the ground in the first delivery, saving a couple of runs for the Royal Challengers. Five from the over.

After 6 overs,Delhi Capitals 57/1 ( David Warner 38 , Mitchell Marsh 1)

Hazlewood starts off from round the wicket to Warner. The southpaw crunches a length ball past point in the second delivery to collect his third four. Three singles collected in the next four balls as Warner and Marsh keep the scoreboard ticking. Seven from the over.

After 5 overs,Delhi Capitals 50/1 ( David Warner 32 , Mitchell Marsh 0)

Siraj into his second over. Warner drills the ball down the ground off the first delivery, collecting his second four. Superb piece of fielding by Kohli at point next ball after a well-timed cut by Warner. The Aussie then collects a single off the third delivery to bring up the fifty stand. Shaw, however, perishes right after, holing out to Rawat at deep midwicket to depart for 16. Mitchell Marsh is the new man in.

OUT! Siraj breaks the opening stand right after it breaches the 50-run mark as Shaw ends up getting caught at deep midwicket while looking for another maximum. A much-needed breakthrough for the Royal Challengers to brings them back in the game. DC 50/1

Shaw c Rawat b Siraj 16(13)

After 4 overs,Delhi Capitals 45/0 ( Prithvi Shaw 16 , David Warner 27)

A fourth bowler introduced in as many overs as Shahbaz replaces Siraj. The carnage continues though, as Warner smashes a four and a six — the first one a sweep behind square leg, followed by a clean strike over long on four balls later in the penultimate ball. An under-pressure Shahbaz also concedes a couple of wides to make matters worse, with 15 coming off the over. DC are hurtling towards the target at the moment, and RCB desperately need a couple of wickets to halt the charge.

After 3 overs,Delhi Capitals 30/0 ( Prithvi Shaw 15 , David Warner 15)

One Aussie replaces another, as Josh Hazlewood is introduced in place of Maxwell, though the pacer is off to a rough start by conceding 11. Warner smacks the ball over the backward square leg fence for his second maximum at the start of the over, while Shaw gets a thick outside edge that runs away to the third man boundary.

After 2 overs,Delhi Capitals 19/0 ( Prithvi Shaw 11 , David Warner 8)

Mohammed Siraj steams in from the other end, and this time it’s Prithvi Shaw’s turn to collect a maximum for himself, clearing the midwicket fence with a clean hit in the penultimate delivery. 10 from the over, with Shaw also having collected a brace in the second delivery.

After 1 over,Delhi Capitals 9/0 ( Prithvi Shaw 2 , David Warner 7)

Nine conceded by Maxwell in the first over of the Delhi innings, including a maximum to Warner in the second delivery as the Aussie opener goes for the slog sweep against his compatriot, comfortably clearing the midwicket fence.

Absolutely bossing the slog overs this season, is DK!

After 20 overs,Royal Challengers Bangalore 189/5 ( Shahbaz Ahmed 32 , Dinesh Karthik (W) 66)

Kuldeep Yadav bowls the final over of the innings. Good start by the left-arm spinner as he collects a dot, followed by a brace and a boundary off the next two balls — the latter coming off a reverse sweep. A single and a wide off the next two. Shahbaz gets down on one knee and comfortably clears long off off the fifth. An under-pressure Kuldeep bowls another couple of wides after the six. Shahbaz is happy collecting just a single off the last ball, as Royal Challengers Bangalore finish on 189 after being put in to bat by the Delhi Capitals.

The sixth-wicket stand between DK and Shahbaz remains unbroken, worth 97 off just 52 deliveries.

After 19 overs,Royal Challengers Bangalore 172/5 ( Shahbaz Ahmed 25 , Dinesh Karthik (W) 59)

Thakur successfully appeals for LBW against DK in the 2nd ball, but the latter reviews right away. Turns out to be a case of the ball hitting the bottom edge. Karthik then confidently pulls over the midwicket fence in the third delivery for his fifth maximum. Good comeback by Thakur after the six as he follows it up with a dot and a single. Shahbaz pulls towards the square leg fence for a boundary off the last ball. 12 from the over.

After 18 overs,Royal Challengers Bangalore 160/5 ( Shahbaz Ahmed 21 , Dinesh Karthik (W) 52)

The Fizz bowls out his final over. Karthik starts off with a hat-trick of boundaries — guiding the first two towards third man before slapping the third one through the cover region. Goes even bigger in the fourth and fifth balls, collecting back-to-back maximums, both around the long off region. Karthik then brings up his half-century with a boundary down the ground, taking just 26 balls to bring up the milestone. 28 off the over! RCB could easily cross 200 at this rate!

After 17 overs,Royal Challengers Bangalore 132/5 ( Shahbaz Ahmed 21 , Dinesh Karthik (W) 24)

Khaleel into his final over. Shahbaz collects a single off the first delivery, before Karthik runs the ball down to deep backward point for a brace next ball. DK then gets down on one knee and slog-sweeps the ball over deep midwicket to collect his second maximum. Dot off the fourth, as the underage rolls away to the keeper off a full, wide ball. Karthik looks for a reverse lap in the fifth, but can only steer it towards point for a single. Shahbaz collects a brace off the last ball. Khaleel signs off with figures of 1/36 from his quota of overs.

After 16 overs,Royal Challengers Bangalore 120/5 ( Shahbaz Ahmed 18 , Dinesh Karthik (W) 15)

Mustafizur returns on the other side of the second timeout, and does well to restrict the current RCB pair to just singles, with five of them coming in this over. Partnership between Shahbaz and Karthik worth a run-a-ball 28 so far. RCB should cross 150 comfortably at this stage, but the pair will hope to get as close to the 180-mark to give their bowlers a solid cushion later this evening.
