Fantasy Tips Exclusive

David Warner is a fiery opening batter. He is currently in the race of orange cap. He has scored 209 runs in 4 matches and is leading the team in every match. He is a must pick in fantasy team.

Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli are an amazing opening partners. They can score maximum runs for the team. Faf has scored 175 runs in 3 matches while Virat has scored 164 runs in 3 matches.

Axar Patel has shown excellent performance in the current IPL season. In 4 matches he manages to score 108 runs. He is an all rounder but he is lacking some good bowling figures.

Both the teams have a good batting attack but are lacking in their bowling attack. They can consider some new additions to the team and make their team strong.

Commentary

So, that will be all from this IPL game from the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore. But do switch tabs and join us for the other IPL game taking place in Lucknow, between Lucknow Super Giants and Punjab Kings. For now, this is the pair of Maanas and Bidipto saying good bye. Keep following Sportskeeda!

Virat Kohli has been adjudged the Player of the Match! Here is what he has to say.

Virat Kohli: It feels great to get this win in the bag. I always felt confident of the score we had at the halfway stage and kept telling that to the team in the dressing room. I like playing innings like these as well. Generally I like to take my time and settle in, but today, I backed myself to hit the ball from the get go and it came off. When I played similar shots against Australia back in the 2016 T20 World Cup, I felt like hitting every ball confidently. Things have changed now, but it still feels good to know that the game is there and can be brought out if and when need be. I caught them pretty safely in the field as well, so that just adds to the confidence.

Faf du Plessis (Royal Challengers Bangalore captain): We needed this win. Wins like these boost the confidence of the entire team and I'm really happy with the effort put in today. You cannot tell what exactly is a good score with this 'new batter rule' coming in, but I thought our seamers in the first six overs won us the game. Siraj is bowling really well of late and giving us the starts we require with the new ball.

It is time for the post-match presentation!

Vijaykumar Vyshak (Royal Challengers Bangalore): I have been waiting for this opportunity for a very long time, I have been working hard. Faf came and told me that it was holding a little bit so I backed my strength and bowled the slower ones a little more than usual. I have been working on the knuckle ball for two overs. Faf came and told me that I can go for the slower one. I was not ready to bowl the knuckle ball. The management told to go out there and express myself. I was a net bowler so I was just helping the boys.

David Warner (Delhi Capitals skipper): Yeah look I said we had to do both disciplines well but we lost wickets and didn't build partnerships. It should have been an easy one but we didn't come up trumps. Run outs are non-negotiable in this format and they can cost you the game. The positives were great with the bowling and fielding were exceptional. It's just our batting. We have to work out how to take on the powerplay and not lose wickets - especially in the first two-three overs. Things aren't working at the moment. Teams have won from five-nothing and hopefully we are the second team.

Royal Challengers Bangalore win by 23 runs!

Virat Kohli 50 (34) | Vijaykumar Vyshak - 3/20 (4)
Manish Pandey 50 (38) | Kuldeep Yadav - 2/23 (4)

We were talking about whether Delhi Capitals will be able to dominate RCB's spin attack or not, but the kind of damage the seamers inflicted on a rather fragile batting line-up, took David Warner's side's breath away!

It all began with the run out of Impact Sub Prithvi Shaw, who decided to take a risky run and went back to the pavilion without scoring a run. After that, Mohammed Siraj, Wayne Parnell and Vijaykumar Vyshak wreaked havoc and broke the back of the opposition batting line-up.

Only Wanindu Hasaranga took a bit of tap but managed to pick up a wicket right at the end of his third over to be among the wickets, which is quite usual for him.

Manish Pandey was the only half-centurion for the Delhi Capitals and it was great to watch him perform so well. But he needed support from the other end, which he hardly got! Axar Patel came out to bat as low as number 7 and it was just too much of an ask for him at that stage to bail the team out of trouble, even with the kind of batting form he was in.

The overall fielding from RCB, as well as, the captaincy from Faf du Plessis, were highly impressive. The decision to play and give Vyshak the responsibility, paid off big time!

So, with this home win, Royal Challengers Bangalore get their second win and move to 4 points. Delhi Capitals are yet to register a win after five matches.

19.6 Harshal Patel to Kuldeep Yadav, back of a length ball on the middle stump line, yet another slower one as Kuldeep goes for the pull shot but is well too early. Is through the shot before the ball arrives and DK behind the stumps cleans up. And RCB secure their second win of the season!

19.6 Harshal Patel to Kuldeep Yadav, WIDE! Length delivery outside off and it cuts away from Kuldeep, finishing past the tramline on the off side.

Last ball coming up!

The 150 comes up for Delhi Capitals.

19.5 Harshal Patel to Kuldeep Yadav, FOUR! SHOT! Kuldeep joins in on the action now! Another slower delivery outside off, Kuldeep loses his shape as he turns that into the leg side and finds the gap as well! Through the backward square leg region and away to the fence!

19.4 Harshal Patel to Kuldeep Yadav, another slower delivery outside off, Kuldeep checks his loft at the last moment and ends up chipping it over the covers for a couple of runs.

19.3 Harshal Patel to Kuldeep Yadav, a slower, dipping full toss outside off, Kuldeep leans in and pushes that out back to the bowler. No run on offer there!

Both mid-off and mid-on are back.

19.2 Harshal Patel to Anrich Nortje, a full toss on the middle stump angling in, Nortje punches that down to long on and scampers through for a single.

19.1 Harshal Patel to Anrich Nortje, FOUR! SHOT! The Capitals are going down fighting! A slower short delivery outside off, Nortje shimmies down the track, frees his arms and pulls that through the mid-wicket region to collect a boundary!

Harshal Patel [3.0-0-20-1] comes back into the attack.

Last over of the match now, coming up! Will Delhi Capitals be able to bat out the six balls and not get bowled out? That's the only thing to see in this contest.
