Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru, 46th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Bhuvneshwar to Chameera, no run, was a slower ball around the tramline, Chameera swung and missed. The replay shows that there's some point of the ball within the stipulated line so it's a legal delivery. DC finish with 162/8

Bhuvneshwar to Stubbs, out Caught by Hazlewood!! Bhuvneshwar strikes again! A pitched up ball on off, Stubbs opens his bat-face a bit and tries to hit it over extra cover perhaps but ends up slicing it towards backward point. Hazlewood settles under it and makes no mistake. A good cameo from Stubbs nonetheless. Stubbs c Hazlewood b Bhuvneshwar 34(18) [4s-5 6s-1]

Bhuvneshwar to Stubbs, FOUR, well played! Another slower ball dug into the surface, Stubbs gets on top of the bounce and pulls it over backward square leg to pick up a boundary

Bhuvneshwar to Stubbs, out Vipraj Nigam Run Out!! 1 run completed! A very full ball angling in on middle, Stubbs drives it off the toe-end towards mid-off. Kolhi moves to his right and misfield and Stubbs wants to capitalize on that. He desperately wants the strike back so calls his partner through for the second run. Vipraj Nigam sacrifices himself as Kohli gathers himself and throws it to Bhuvneshwar who takes the bails off. Vipraj Nigam run out (Kohli/Bhuvneshwar) 12(6) [6s-1]

Yash Dayal to Stubbs, FOUR, 19 runs off the over! Very full outside off, Stubbs manages to drill it towards long-off. Bethell hares to his right and puts in a desperate dive but he can't prevent the boundary

Yash Dayal to Stubbs, SIX, this is Stubbs at his best! A very full ball angling in on middle, Stubbs switches his stance and reverse hits it over third man for a flat six. He got into the position quickly and executed the shot perfectly

Yash Dayal to Stubbs, FOUR, nicely played! A full ball shaping in, Stubbs clears his front leg and smacks it down the ground for a boundary

Hazlewood to Stubbs, FOUR, a low full-toss on off, Stubbs keeps his shape and lifts it nonchalantly over mid-on. The long-on fielder is a bit wide and has no chance to stop it

Hazlewood to Vipraj Nigam, 1 run, Vipraj Nigam backs away and Hazlewood follows him with a full delivery. Carved to covers and the batters take off. The fielder has a shy but misses. Would have been interesting had he hit. Jitesh Sharma does well to stop it with a dive

Hazlewood to Vipraj Nigam, SIX, good execution! Not the smartest delivery from Hazlewood with short boundaries behind. A shortish ball on off, Vipraj Nigam stays leg-side of it and ramps it over third man to get the desired result

Hazlewood to Stubbs, FOUR, cheeky but effective! Stubbs shuffles across his stumps premeditately. It's full on off but Stubbs manages to scoop it and just gets it over short fine. The fielder gives it a chase but to no avail. Got it off the bottom half of the bat but got enough on it

Bhuvneshwar to Ashutosh Sharma, out Bowled!! This is brilliant bowling from Bhuvi! The slower ball gets the better of the Impact player who hardly makes any impact. Bhuvneshwar rolls his fingers on this one and bowls it on a length on middle. Ashutosh Sharma crouches in his stance to swipe it across but is ages early into the shot. Ends up missing it completely and the ball hits the top of middle and leg. It cut in after pitching and he also played down the wrong line leading to his downfall. Ashutosh Sharma b Bhuvneshwar 2(3)

Bhuvneshwar to Rahul, out Caught by Jacob Bethell!! Rahul holes out! He was struggling for rhythm and perishes in a bid to up the ante. 122.9kph slower full ball on off, Rahul clears his front leg and tries to hit it downtown but the bat turns on impact and he ends up slicing it towards long-off. Bethell runs in from the deep and gets low to pouch it with both hands inches above the ground. Rahul c Jacob Bethell b Bhuvneshwar 41(39) [4s-3]

Hazlewood to Axar, out Bowled!! Knocked him over! 136.5kph back of a length ball on middle and leg, Axar tries to swipe it across the line but ends up playing down the wrong line. The ball crashes into the stumps. Was beaten by the skiddiness of the delivery there. Playing straight would have been a better option rather than going for a cross-batted shot. Axar b Hazlewood 15(13) [4s-1 6s-1]

Hazlewood to Rahul, FOUR, shot! Fuller length ball angling in on off, Rahul crouches in his stance and hacks it over backward square leg for a boundary. Picked his spot nicely there

Krunal Pandya to Axar, SIX, the moment the left-arm spinner comes on he flexes his muscles. Dismissed high over mid-wicket. But Krunal has got a few LHBs this season mind you! Pace on was the problem and Axar was alert to the situation

Suyash Sharma to Axar, FOUR, the one bad ball of the over from the leggie. Short and down leg with fine leg up, Axar helps it away fine and gets the much needed boundary

Yash Dayal to Rahul, FOUR, oh smart! Just used the pace on the ball by going deep in the crease. Once that back foot cut beat the man at backward point, no stopping that ball

Krunal Pandya to du Plessis, out Caught by Kohli!! Straight to the local boy. Fullish delivery, Faf only playing a chip-flick. Didn't go hard and offered catching practice for his good mate at long-on. DC may not mind this wicket because Faf wasn't able to get going. Krunal the partnership-breaker at it again. du Plessis c Kohli b Krunal Pandya 22(26) [4s-2]

Suyash Sharma to Rahul, FOUR, and there he nails it this time. The bowler erring in line and offering a freebie on the pads. Deep backward square leg in place but KL places it nicely to the right of the man and the timing is crunchy

Hazlewood to du Plessis, FOUR, slot and punished! Is he getting his rhythm back? Seemed like pace off, but Faf picked it and drilled the drive straight back over the ump's head to the safest place on the cricket field

Yash Dayal to Karun Nair, out Caught by Bhuvneshwar!! Oh poor shot selection. He's tried to slog at a ball leaving him and the angle Yash Dayal's created there with his left-arm angle made it impossible. Length delivery angling away, demanded an off-side hit but Karun wanted a mid-wicket smack. All he did was a slice high up and caught wide of mid-on. Key wicket this for RCB. Karun Nair c Bhuvneshwar b Yash Dayal 4(4) [4s-1]

Yash Dayal to du Plessis, no ball, FOUR, finally, Faf finds the fence for the first time. Oh the buzzer goes off and Faf will have a free-hit to follow. Short of a length delivery on the leg stump, Faf drags this pull wide of mid-wicket

Hazlewood to Karun Nair, FOUR, ah he plays that front foot flick-pull so well. Short of a length and on the off stump, Karun hardly transferred the weight back, just gave direction to the right of mid-wicket and it flew over the infield to spoil the fun for Hazlewood

Hazlewood to Abishek Porel, out Caught by Jitesh Sharma!! Yet again he promises and perishes. Another start not converted and he will be the most disappointed about it. Can consider himself unlucky here though. Was a harmless short of length delivery down leg, Abishek tried to pull too fine. Probably early into the shot and the ball stopped on him a bit. May have been extra bounce too. Took the glove and Jitesh was alert to a low chance to his right. Hazlewood the breakthrough man for RCB again. Abishek Porel c Jitesh Sharma b Hazlewood 28(11) [4s-2 6s-2]

Bhuvneshwar to Abishek Porel, SIX, naah! Hit me ball! Bhuvi has lost it this over. Full and on the pads, easy pick up shot and Abishek Porel had no intentions to keep it down. Away it disappeared handsomely over backward square leg

Bhuvneshwar to Abishek Porel, SIX, one-handed slogand they almost had their man too. If only RCB had their man more towards deep mid-wicket, Bethell would have caught it. Great effort anyway. Looks like pace off and it sucked Abishek early into the slog, bottom hand came off but he didn't want to change his shot. Bethell had to run to the right from deep backward square leg. Dived full length but couldn't get his hands on the ball

Yash Dayal to Abishek Porel, FOUR, a proper hack across the line but the left-armer's angle into the LHB worked in the batters favour. Proper swipe across the line, bat turned in his hands and the ball escaped to the left of mid-wicket for a much needed four

Bhuvneshwar to Abishek Porel, FOUR, but that slip will be of no use if he bowls down leg like that. Tried the inswinger but started too straight and offered an easy glance for Abishek behind square. DC off the mark straightaway!
