Last night, Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore have faced off each other at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Coming to the game, Rishabh Pant opted to bowl first after winning the toss.

Delhi Capitals have successfully planned and restricted the opposition to not score more than 36 runs in the power play. Moreover, Avesh Khan and Ishant Sharma removed Virat Kohli and Devudtt Padikkal for 12 and 17 runs respectively.

Rajat Patidar and Glenn Maxwell shared a decent partnership in the middle and added 30 runs before the fall of the third wicket. Then the South African wicket-keeper batsman AB de Villiers entered the battleground and started to dominate the Delhi bowlers all around the park.

In addition to that, Mr.360 had smashed 23 runs in the final over of the first half bowled by Marcus Stoinis and remained unbeaten on 75 off 42 deliveries. At the end of the first half, RCB posted a challenging total of 171 runs on the board.

Chasing the target, the Delhi-based franchise opened their innings with their successful openers Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw. But the scenario was something different there when Kyle Jamieson was introduced to the attack.

Virat Kohli's plan paid off as Jamieson dismissed the Orange Cap holder Shikhar Dhawan for a single-digit number. The instance took place in the 8th over of the game where Prithvi Shaw was dismissed by Harshal Patel.

The on-field umpire didn't raise his hands as both Harshal Patel and AB de Villiers were appealing for a caught behind. But Prithvi Shaw walked off to the dugout despite the umpire giving him out.

Rishabh Pant and Shimron Hetmyer getting back into the game:

The Australian batsman Steve Smith followed Dhawan in the next over and this time, Mohammed Siraj delivered a spectacular ball to send a world-class batsman back to the dressing room.

Prithvi Shaw who looked good at the other end has once again failed to convert his starts to a big one including Marcus Stoinis on the other end.

Then the skipper Rishabh Pant took the responsibility along with the West Indies power hitter Shimron Hetmyer. Both of them added more than 50 runs to their names but failed to take their side over the victory line.

In the final over of the game, Delhi needed 14 off 6 balls as Mohammed Siraj defended the remaining runs and won the game for his side.

Now Royal Challengers Bangalore has to face Rahul-led Punjab Kings in their next game whereas Delhi Capitals is going to clash with Kolkata Knight Riders on Thursday.
