Yash Dayal to KL RahulFIVE WIDES! SCORES LEVEL! A freebie at a very inopportune moment from Dayal. Way too short from Dayal over the batter's head. It keeps sailing over and beats the acrobatic wicket-keeper Jitesh Sharmato run behind to the fence. Royal Challengers Bengaluru have challenged the Wide call and have opted for a review. The side-on angle shows the ball passing well over KL Rahul's head. The decision of Wide stays.

That brings an end to this contest as Delhi Capitals continue their dominant run, handing Royal Challengers Bengaluru their second home defeat of the season while extending their own unbeaten streak. The IPL caravan now moves to the iconic MA Chidambaram Stadium, where Chennai Super Kings will take on Kolkata Knight Riders in Match 25 on April 11, Friday. The action kicks off at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT), but be sure to join us early for all the pre-match buildup. Until then, take care and see you soon for another thrilling encounter.
Strategic Break! This 76-run partnership has propelled Delhi Capitals to the brink of victory, leaving RCB gasping for answers. With a slight drizzle in the air, conditions haven’t helped Rajat Patidar and his men after their fiery start. Despite rotating his bowlers relentlessly to break this stand, KL Rahul’s masterclass, paced to perfection alongside Stubbs' composed support, has DC in complete control at the moment. RCB now find themselves in desperate need of something special, and right away, as Delhi require only just 30 runs off 24 balls. Can they pull it around, or is it all but over? We shall very soon find out. Bhuvneshwar Kumar (3-0-14-2) comes back into the attack.
Suyash Sharma (3-0-12-1) comes back into the attack.
Uh, oh! There's a slight drizzle right now, but the umpires have signalled to continue as it does not look that threatening. The groundstaff is ready with the covers beyond the ropes. There was a bit of rain before the game, but let's hope it stays away for now. Here's Josh Hazlewood into the attack again. He is 2-0-18-0 so far and replaces Liam Livingstone.
Pace back on. Yash Dayal (2-0-17-1) returns into the attack. He replaces Krunal Pandya.
RCB use their sixth bowler. Here's Liam Livingstone into the attack. He replaces Suyash Sharma.
Krunal Pandya comes into the attack now.
Strategic Break! RCB, defending a modest total, needed early breakthroughs, and their pacers delivered in style! They dismantled Delhi Capitals' top order, not allowing anyone to settle, and now the spinner, Suyash Sharma, is joining the party to deepen DC’s woes. KL Rahul has looked in fine touch, getting off to a promising start, but he needs solid support from the other end to rebuild the innings and steer his side out of trouble. This is the same phase where DC turned the game around with the ball in the first innings, but can they do it again, this time with the bat? A gripping middle phase awaits as Tristan Stubbs walks in at number 6 for DC.
First signs of spin as Suyash Sharma is brought in as the impact substitute for Royal Challengers Bengaluru, replacing Devdutt Padikkal.
Change? Yes, Josh Hazlewood is introduced into the attack. He replaces Yash Dayal.
DC skipper, Axar Patel is in at number 5.
Has Hoff managed to save the boundary? He dives to his right in an attempt to intercept the ball. But, unfortunately, he just contacts with the cushions while the ball in hand, before flicking it off. Also, seems like Hazlewood has tweaked his neck a bit while taking the tumble, but looks good to continue. A good effort nevertheless.
KL Rahul walks out to bat now with DC in early spot of bother.
Delhi Capitals use their Impact Sub. Abishek Porel comes out to bat at number 3. He is swapped in for Mukesh Kumar.
Surprising. Not Josh Hazlewood, but Yash Dayal will share the attack from the far end.
