Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood Lead Destruction
The bowling duo of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood completely dismantled the DC batting lineup in this RCB vs DC clash. Bhuvneshwar was clinical with his line and length, finishing with 3 wickets for just 5 runs, while Hazlewood matched him with 3 wickets for only 8 runs.
Every delivery in the encounter seemed to pose a threat, with both pacers exploiting movement and bounce perfectly at the Arun Jaitley Stadium that assisted strong winds too. Their disciplined bowling ensured that Delhi Capitals never recovered from the early blows.
The internet too, reacted heavily to this collapse as RCB was almost on their way to break their cursed record against KKR.
Middle Order of Delhi Fails to Recover
Despite the early collapse, there was a brief attempt at resistance from Abishek Porel and David Miller. Porel played a cautious knock, remaining unbeaten on 26, while Miller added 19 runs.
However, their efforts only delayed the inevitable. Wickets kept falling at regular intervals as DC struggled to build any partnerships. By the halfway mark, the score read 43/7, highlighting the dominance of RCB in this contest.
