Jake Fraser-McGurk (21) batted in his usual manner at the top but Delhi Capitals were off to a worst possible start. They were reeling at 30 for four as Royal Challengers Bengaluru bowlers were all over the opposition. 

With the team under pressure. Skipper Axar Patel (57) and Shai Hope (29) brought their team back into the game. The duo added 56 runs for the fifth wicket but after that, nothing went their way. Delhi Capitals kept losing at regular intervals as skipper Axar Patel was left stranded at one end. 

The stand-in skipper tried his best but couldn’t take his team home as Delhi Capitals lost and bagged a few unfortunate runouts. Royal Challengers Bengaluru bowled out Delhi Capitals to 140 and won the game by 47 runs.

Good luck to RCB. 5 wins on the bounce, and things falling in place. Whether they go ahead or not, that's a comeback to be proud of. Well played.

Delhi have blown away their chances.
Delhi have allowed RCB’s NRR to get so kuch better that Bangalore actually have a good outside chance of qualifying with 7 wins#DCvRCB

Such an infuriating performance from DC in the field and with the bat when you wanted to see some solid fight after an unexpected run of 5 wins from 7 games. This was a poor show, not good enough when you created a chance after being nowhere.

Thankfully for us the misery…

RCB's qualification scenario :

• LSG must lose 1 of their next 2 matches
• RCB will have to win the next match by 30-40 runs or chase the target in 16-17 overs.
