Delhi Capitals ended the innings with a score of 151-9 in 20 overs.Earlier in the match, RCB skipper Faf Du Plessis and Virat Kohli gave a decent start to the home teams as the deadly duo struck 42 runs within five overs.

Du Plessis fortune didn't favour him as Aman Khan took a stunning catch to dismiss the South African batter for a score of 22(16).Virat Kohli continued scoring runs at regular intervals and Mahipal Lomror more than once stepped forward to avoid a dip in the run rate.

However, he fell short by a margin of inches as Yash Dhull picked up an easy catch to dismiss the inform batter for 50(34).Lomror soon followed the footsteps of Kohli.
