RCB - INN DC - INN

4
19.5: Romario Shepherd to David Miller, FOUR! Miller has done it for DC! A cathartic exhale from the Proteas batter as he slays the demons of the past. Shepherd bowls another loose ball. It is the full toss on the pads, and Miller accepts the invitation and whips it uppishly and in the deep mid-wicket gap for a boundary to seal the deal. DELHI CAPITALS WIN BY 6 WICKETS!

6
19.4: Romario Shepherd to David Miller, SIX! Killer Miller, right on cue for DC. Shepherd bowls it full and wide, misses the yorker by a yard or so, not much. David Miller crouches low, gets under the ball nicely and smashes it cleanly over deep extra cover for a cracking six. Stubbs enjoys it at the other end. SCORES ARE LEVEL NOW.

6
19.3: Romario Shepherd to David Miller, SIX! Like rain in the desert! Romario misses the yorker, and slips in a full toss on middle. David Miller obliges and smokes it ruthlessly into the stands behind deep mid-wicket. 7 needed from 3 balls now.

1
19.2: Romario Shepherd to Tristan Stubbs, Another yorker nailed in, on middle and leg. Stubbs whips it on the bounce to deep mid-wicket for a run. 13 required from 4 balls.

0
19.1: Romario Shepherd to David Miller, Miller misses out! Fired on a fuller length, outside leg. David Miller swings for the hills by clearing the front leg, but fails to get any sort of connection and wears on the front pad. The ball rolls to the off side and they cross for a leg bye. On any other day, Miller would have sent that to the moon.

18.6: Rasikh Salam to David Miller, Excellent comeback from Rasikh. Went for a boundary off the first ball but finished off pretty well. Perfect yorker in the blockhole, outside the off stump. Miller bends and drives it wide of long off for only a single.

Tristan Stubbs flicks it between deep square leg and deep mid-wicket. The latter fielder gets across with a dive and stops it. A slowish innings, but he has played as the situation demanded. Would look to stay till the end and get the job done for his team.

6
17.4: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Tristan Stubbs, SIX! That would bring a lot of relief to the DC camp. What a shot! Banged short and outside off, with pace taken off. Tristan Stubbs has all the time in the world as he gets a bit across and executes the pull shot massively over deep mid-wicket for a huge six. 28 needed from 14 balls.

1
19.6: Lungi Ngidi to Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Full and wide on off. Bhuvneshwar Kumar reaches out and slaps it to long off. This time, David Miller gets rid of the ball quickly and there is no chance of a second run. Just 6 runs off the final over. Royal Challengers Bengaluru finish with 175/8.

2
19.5: Lungi Ngidi to Bhuvneshwar Kumar, What happened there? Lungi Ngidi keeps it full, outside off. Bhuvneshwar extends his hands and drills it to long off, where David Miller mops it up by moving to his left. Miller casually lobs the ball back towards the bowler and the batters are alert enough to sneak in the second run. Sloppy stuff from such an experienced man.

0
19.4: Lungi Ngidi to Jitesh Sharma, OUT! CAUGHT! End of a scratchy stay for Jitesh Sharma. Low full toss, outside off. Sharma swings to go down the ground but fails to get any sort of elevation on the shot. Hits it flat and straight down the throat of long off, where David Miller bends and takes the catch in reverse cup style.

0
19.3: Lungi Ngidi to Jitesh Sharma, Lovely stuff! On a good length, angled in on the off stump. Sharma fails to read the off-cutter and pushes out in front of his body. The ball drops on him and spins back to beat him on the inside edge and catch him on the thigh.

0
19.3: Lungi Ngidi to Krunal Pandya, OUT! KRUNAL PANDYA IS RUN OUT! Both batters at the same end and Krunal is gone. A well-directed short ball by Ngidi, down leg. Krunal swivels for the pull, but he misses. Jitesh is off as soon as the ball is released but Pandya is unaware of his partner running towards his end. KL Rahul gathers the ball and lobs it towards the bowler. Ngidi gathers it on the bounce and breaks the stumps with Pandya nowhere in the frame. Wide given by the umpire.

1
19.2: Lungi Ngidi to Jitesh Sharma, Very full, not allowing the batter to get under the ball. Jitesh hits it down to long off and crosses over.

1
19.1: Lungi Ngidi to Krunal Pandya, Full and wide on off. Krunal Pandya swings hard at it and loses his shape. Miscues it to long off for a single.

18.6: T Natarajan to Jitesh Sharma, Nothing more than a polite enquiry from KL Rahul for caught behind. It has been turned down. DC want to take a chance and they have sent it upstairs. Leaving the right-hander, another yorker by Natarajan. Sharma stands with an open stance and looks to run it behind point with an open bat face but misses. The replays confirm that there is a gap between the bat and the ball and the spike on the UltraEdge is from the bat hitting the turf. Death-bowling of the highest order. Just 2 runs off the 19th over. How rare is this?

1
18.5: T Natarajan to Krunal Pandya, Back to the yorker now. At 131.6 kph, around the base of the off stump. Krunal hurriedly drops his bat down. Jams it out of an inside edge to square leg for just a single.

0
18.4: T Natarajan to Krunal Pandya, T Natarajan is mixing his lengths nicely, keeping Krunal guessing. This is the slower bumper, outside off. Pandya swings across for the pull but he fails to pick the change of pace and swings early. He fails to connect.

0
18.3: T Natarajan to Krunal Pandya, Nails the yorker, does T Natarajan. It sneaks inside the tramline. Krunal fails to dig it out as the ball goes under the bat.

0
18.2: T Natarajan to Krunal Pandya, T Natarajan goes into the surface, outside off. Krunal walks across the stumps and attempts the scoop but fails to get it away. The ball brushes his body and goes behind to the keeper.

1
18.1: T Natarajan to Jitesh Sharma, Across off, on a length. Sharma plays a punchy drive to long off for a single.

17.6: Lungi Ngidi to Krunal Pandya, SIX! Picked up and dispatched! Ngidi dishes out the dipping off-cutter, full and on middle. Pandya picks it from the hand and gets low to get under the ball. A clean swing of the arms and he tonks it over the sight screen for a biggie. A productive over for RCB, 14 runs off it.

1
17.5: Lungi Ngidi to Jitesh Sharma, Ngidi hits the hard length, on middle. Sharma mistimses the pull towards cow corner for just a single.

1
17.4: Lungi Ngidi to Krunal Pandya, From around the wicket to the left-hander, pace taken off by Ngidi. This is on middle and leg. Pandya drives this full ball to long on for one.

1
17.3: Lungi Ngidi to Jitesh Sharma, Full and angled in, on middle. Sharma wrists it to wide long on for a single.

4
17.2: Lungi Ngidi to Jitesh Sharma, FOUR! Just wide! A boundary after a long time for RCB. Ngidi bashes the hard length, keeping it near the tramline on off. Sharma walks down the track and stays leg side to flay it away on the off side. Gets a thickish outside edge towards short third, where Mukesh Kumar moves to his left and flings himself in that direction but the ball evades him. He lands hard on the right shoulder and he falls hard on his face.

1
17.1: Lungi Ngidi to Krunal Pandya, Serves the dipping slower ball, full and on middle. Krunal clips it to deep mid-wicket for a single.
