22:31 (IST) Apr 27

Signing off early - Short and sweet game in the national capital, then. But IPL keeps moving ahead. Coming next up is a battle between two of the ruthless batting powerhouses this season. Punjab Kings are all set to take on the Rajasthan Royals in New Chandigarh. The Kings are still unbeaten and will look to sustain that streak, whereas the Royals, who have lost three of their last four games, will be looking to get their campaign back on track. That game will be played on Tuesday, 28th April, and the first ball is scheduled to be bowled at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT). But our build-up, as usual, will begin in advance. Until then, we sign off. Cheers and take care!

22:34 (IST) Apr 27

RCB boss the game - Something for the bowlers to smile about and keep this as a souvenir, eh? Royal Challengers Bengaluru are looking like an unstoppable force in their title defence as they strengthen their spot in the top half of the table. They also exact revenge for that defeat at Chinnaswamy earlier in the season, when the Delhi Capitals came to their den and walked away with the points. Another win on the road for the defending champions, and now, they head to Ahmedabad for their next challenge against the Gujarat Titans. That game will be played on Thursday, 30th April. For Delhi Capitals, though, they have faced two consecutive morale-denting defeats and will look to bounce back strongly in their next fixture against the Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur, on Friday, 1st May.

22:24 (IST) Apr 27

PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Josh Hazlewood receives the award for excellent bowling figures of 4/12 in 3.3 overs. Hazlewood says that Bhuvi was excellent, and he just followed his lead. Adds that the ball was skidding on well, and he tried to make use of that opportunity. Josh further says that the wicket had something for the bowlers, and it worked well for him with his short balls. He reckons that they are doing well as a team, and all the boxes have been ticked so far, and they have adapted well to the conditions. Hazlewood ends by saying that they are building on last season's success and are hitting their straps again at the right time.

22:37 (IST) Apr 27

The captain of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru - Rajat Patidar says he was surprised by the way the wicket played. He gives full credit to the bowlers for hitting the right areas, calling it tremendous to watch. He adds that the swing was pretty normal, but early wickets kept them in the driving seat. Patidar says the plan was to use Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood in spells of three overs each after the early wickets. Mentions that Suyash Sharma also got a good purchase from the pitch and praises him for keeping it stump to stump. Rajat stresses the importance of sticking to routines and taking one game at a time, and says different players stepping up is a really good sign for the team.

22:15 (IST) Apr 27

... Time for the post-match Presentation ...

22:12 (IST) Apr 27

A quick word from RCB's star batter - Devdutt Padikkal says that it was great to see how Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood bowled. Adds that the way they were bowling, he was expecting a catch on every ball. DDP believes that he was not great in the field during his early days, but he kept on practising to improve. Ends by saying that Bethell's start was good, and they wanted to finish the game as soon as possible.

22:09 (IST) Apr 27

The captain of the Delhi Capitals - Axar Patel, reacting to the loss, says he doesn't know what happened. He adds that you have to be on your toes in this sport and stresses the need to forget this game quickly and move on. Axar says you have to keep doing your work regardless of the results. He adds that there is nothing like an easy win in the IPL and stresses that bygones are bygones.  Patel urges the team to stay positive, and he also makes it clear that it is not about pointing fingers at anyone after a loss. When asked if he was surprised by the help Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood got, Axar says not really, adding that they are world-class bowlers. He feels that if the top order had seen off a couple of overs, it could have been a different score, and gives credit to the RCB bowlers.

22:08 (IST) Apr 27

Pace masterclass destroys DC's batting - A dust storm was forecast across Delhi NCR on Monday night. What nobody warned Delhi Capitals about was the one that arrived in red and gold. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood were absolutely ruthless with the new ball, picking up six wickets between them in the first four overs and effectively ending the contest before it had even begun. Outside edges, sharp short balls, batters beaten for pace and movement repeatedly - survival itself looked like a challenge at the Kotla. KL Rahul, Nitish Rana, Stubbs - none of them had any answers. David Miller and impact substitute Abishek Porel offered some resistance, but they were always playing catch-up. Krunal Pandya and Suyash Sharma chipped in through the middle, before Hazlewood came back to wrap things up and complete a demolition job that the Delhi faithful will want to forget in a hurry.

22:14 (IST) Apr 27

39 balls - It was all RCB needed to hunt down a target of 76. They did lose Jacob Bethell after an intent-laden start that featured a couple of cracking biggies, but from there it was Devdutt Padikkal's ruthless assault, graced by Kohli's steady anchor, that coasted them safely home. Just the previous game at this very venue saw records shattered and history rewritten, with the highest successful run-chase in IPL history playing out in front of a packed Kotla. But this evening, the same ground told a very different tale, with every ball faced feeling like a step onto a minefield for the DC batters.

22:13 (IST) Apr 27

Royal Challengers conquer the Capital - An absolute stroll in the park for RCB, and fittingly, it is Virat Kohli who hits the winning runs at the very ground where he grew up playing this sport before going on to become the master of it all. The Kotla erupts in boisterous cheers for the chase master as RCB keep marching forward in their title defence, looking every bit the champions they are. As for the Delhi Capitals, this is their third defeat in a row, and now they have lost four out of their previous five matches, after starting so nicely. It is a difficult time for Axar Patel and his men as problems keep rising. They could not defend 264 the other night, and this time around, they were bundled out for 75. Two brutal results in quick succession, and they will need to regroup fast as time is slipping out of their hands.

Kyle Jamieson to Jacob Bethell, OUT! c T Natarajan b Kyle Jamieson.OUT! HIGH UP AND TAKEN! Geez, that's a sensational catch from T Natarajan. A slower one, floated up on a length at 122.6 kph, angling it close to the off stump. Bethell backs away to the leg side and swings at it, but the timing is all wrong. The ball climbs high into the sky, just not far enough in the long on region. T Natarajan runs a good 20-25 yards behind over his right shoulder and sees the ball like a hawk and catches it. He keeps running with the momentum but just manages to pull the handbrake before the ropes. However, the on-field umpires want to have a look at the legality of the catch. The replays show that Natarajan is not in contact with the boundary ropes, and it is a clean catch. If this game has offered very little else for the Delhi Capitals, at least they have this moment. Royal Challengers Bengaluru are 26/1, chasing 76 runs. Devdutt Padikkal is in at number 3.

21:41 (IST) Apr 27

... THE RUN CHASE ...

21:21 (IST) Apr 27

RCB eye a quick finish - Axar Patel spoke about the lack of wickets in the Powerplay at the toss, and that being one of the reasons behind bringing in Dushmantha Chameera and Kyle Jamieson. They now have it all to do, to make every run hard-earned for RCB in this chase on what is not that bad a surface to bat on as the Delhi batters made it look. At the same time, RCB will be keen to wrap this up quickly and give their already healthy net run rate an extra boost. Back in a bit for the chase.

21:23 (IST) Apr 27

Brief resistance - One would have thought Rajat Patidar would bowl out Bhuvneshwar and Hazlewood then and there and go for the kill, but he opted against it. A couple of partnerships did develop for the Capitals that helped them avoid the lowest total in IPL history (49 all out for RCB against KKR in 2017). That resistance did not last long, with Abishek Porel running out of partners before Josh Hazlewood sent him packing to complete the clean-up job.

21:22 (IST) Apr 27

Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar run riot - Before the dust storm paid a visit, it was RCB's new-ball attack that hit DC like a storm. Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar did not do anything extraordinary, just stuck to simple Test-match lines and lengths. In many ways, DC were architects of their own downfall, with some ordinary shot selection from their batters. With three wickets each for the two RCB quicks inside the first four overs, DC were reduced to 8/6.

21:26 (IST) Apr 27

A quick chat - Bhuvneshwar Kumar says that the ball is swinging this year, and he feels good about it. Says that when it does, wickets tend to follow. He calls it a good batting wicket but says it was one of those days where things fell their way and they were fortunate to pick up wickets in a heap. Bhuvneshwar admits the movement did surprise even him, but says that only gave them the confidence to keep pushing. He adds that he was happy to get his three overs done up front. Bhuvi highlights that in the last match at this ground, where both sides made huge scores, it made clear that they needed to use whatever conditions were available and take early wickets. Adds that the extra swing was a welcome surprise. On whether he asked for a fourth over, Bhuvneshwar is quick to deny. He says he was tired as it was very hot, and he was more than happy to call it a night at three overs, adding that at his age, he did not want to push himself too hard.

21:10 (IST) Apr 27

A stark contrast - The Delhi Capitals posted 264 on 25th April against the Punjab Kings, but just 75 tonight. After a bowling effort to forget, they have followed it up with a batting display they would rather not remember. This is the third-lowest total for DC in the history of the IPL.

Abishek Porel bends low and tries to squeeze it out to the off side, but his bat comes after the ball is pitched, and he sees the stumps in an absolute mess behind. Josh Hazlewood ends with a 4-for.

STRATEGIC BREAK! There have been flashes of resistance from DC with a couple of partnerships, but every time they have looked to build, RCB have cut them short. Abishek Porel has so far trusted his partner at the other end, but with just one wicket left, he will have to farm the strike and find a method to take DC past at least 100. First up, though, Dushmantha Chameera has three balls to negotiate. Watch out for the googly from Suyash Sharma...

Suyash Sharma to Kuldeep Yadav, OUT! b Suyash Sharma.OUT! OUTFOXED! Superb stuff from Suyash to get his first wicket. He lands it around the off stump, on a shortish length and it grips prodigiously back into the batter. Kuldeep Yadav hangs back and looks to whip it across, but ends up playing all around it. The ball beats the inside edge, sneaks through the gap between bat and pad and crashes into the stumps behind. Delhi Capitals are 71/9 after 15.3 overs.

Krunal Pandya to Kyle Jamieson, OUT! lbw b Krunal Pandya.OUT! LBW! Krunal Pandya opens his account now and the slide continues for the Capitals. He bowls a round-arm delivery, on a lower trajectory, on a length, in front of the sticks. Kyle Jamieson is pinned in the crease and tries to work it across but plays all around it and is beaten, being hit on the flap of the back pad. A big shout for LBW and up goes the finger. Kyle Jamieson first starts walking away, but after having a word with Porel, he goes upstairs for a review. Nothing on UltraEdge and the Ball Tracking shows that the ball is projected to clip the top of the middle pole. It is umpire's call, and the on-field decision is upheld. Kyle Jamieson has to walk back, and DC are 62/8.
