Highlights

22:17(IST)

Almost every time Virat Kohli takes strike there is a huge roar from the crowd who are cheering for him even though, today he is from the opposition team. 

22:17(IST)

Shreyas Iyer brings Harshal Patel into the attack and AB de Villiers has an initial look at the bowler before sending him to the boundary with utmost ease. Even Virat Kohli gets into the act in the over with a perfect drive through the off-side to make it two boundaries of the over. RCB are 45/2 are 5 overs. 

22:12(IST)

Junior Dala comes into the attack for the fourth over, and there is absolutely no mercy shown by Virat Kohli who plays immaculate cricket shots as he finds the boundary twice, once on the leg side and once on the off, along with a maximum. Kohli scored 16 runs of the over, and he looks determined to take this home in his hometown. RCB are 35/2 after 4 overs. 

22:06(IST)

Sandeep Lamichhane has completed his second over the match, which has been quite successful. He dismissed Parthiv Patel after the left hander smashed him for a boundary. The young spinner had an appeal against AB de Villiers as well, but that was turned down and RCB need to shore things up. RCB are 18/2 after 3 overs. 

22:04(IST)

WICKET: Sandeep Lamichhane has his reward as he traps Parthiv Patel (6) leg before wicket. The south paw was looking for a big shot but did not read the young spinner and RCB are two down. 

22:02(IST)

Another tight over at the top of the innings, this time Boult has also made a contribution with a wicket which then brought Virat Kohli to the middle on his home ground alongside Parthiv Patel. The Indian captain picked up a streaky boundary as they scored 7 from the over. 

21:57(IST)

WICKET: Trent Boult's first ball sees Moeen Ali's (1) lofted shot land safely and comfortably in the hands of the cover fielder. Ali's mistimed shot has given Delhi the momentum in the game early on. 

21:55(IST)

End of the first over ever to be bowled by a Nepali cricketer in the IPL. Sandeep Lamichhane has given a fantastic account of himself as he mixed it up well against Parthiv and Moeen Ali, both of whom had a hard time picking him. The openers though managed to take 6 runs of the over. Trent Boult will share the new ball. 

21:52(IST)

The RCB have begun their chase with Parthiv Patel and Moeen Ali who are faceing Sandeep Lamichhane 

21:36(IST)

That's the end of the innings then, Delhi Daredevils have ended really well here with teenager Abhishek Sharma going for some big hits and connecting well. Delhi Daredevils end at 181/4.

21:34(IST)

SIX and FOUR! Abhishek Sharma is doing it in some style here, showing elegance as he hits one over long on and then another one straight down the ground. Delhi Daredevils are 180/4.

21:31(IST)

Great over from Southee as he concedes jsut 7 runs from the 19th over, that too despite a no-ball because of three fielders inside the ring. Delhi Daredevils are 168/4 after 19 overs here

21:24(IST)

STAT ATTACK: 

As a reminder, this is Abhishek Sharma’s first ever T20 match.

He’s currently striking at 281.82 (31 off 11 balls).

21:23(IST)

SIX! Another one from Abhishek Sharma, times one and goes over third man for a maximum. Much needed for Delhi Daredevils here, the teenager is on 30 off 10 balls!

21:20(IST)

SIX and SIX! Abhishek Sharma is being sensational here, he is dropped by Siraj but after that gets two right from the middle. First goes straight over the bowler for a maximum and then pulls one. Delhi Daredevils are 147/4 here after 17 overs.

21:15(IST)

17 year old Abhishek Sharma has joined Vijay Shankar out in the middle now, he gets his first ball away for a boundary but then its a couple of dot balls. Delhi Daredevils are 125/4 after 16 overs.

21:10(IST)

WICKET! Shreyas Iyer departs now, gets the ball low on the bat as he looks to whip one for a maximum. He holes out to Kohli at deep midwicket and Delhi are 120/5 after 15.1 overs.

21:08(IST)

Umesh Yadav concedes just 6 runs from the 15th over there, RCB getting in a lot of dot balls at the crucial time here. Delhi needed Pant to stay, they are 120/3 after 15 overs

21:04(IST)

Chahal ends his spell here, been an excellent one except for the over where Pant went after him. He ends with figures of 2/29 in his 4 overs. Delhi Daredevils are 113/3 after 14 overs

20:59(IST)

WICKET! That's the one Royal Challengers Bangalore needed, Rishabh Pant was starting to deal in boundaries and maximums here, this one is not hit so cleanly and de Villiers takes a sensational sliding catch. Delhi are 109/3 after 13 overs here.

20:53(IST)

50! Yet another half-century for Rishabh Pant here, he hits Chahal for a straight six which almost reaches the commentary box. After that he goes short and Pant pulls it for a four. Delhi are 98/2

20:50(IST)

Rishabh Pant launches into Moeen Ali this time, depositing him over mid-wicket for a maximum. Three singles are picked from the rest of the over, Delhi Daredevils are 87/2 after 11 overs here

20:47(IST)

Shreyas Iyer certainly seems to be living a charmed life here, getting a couple of boundaries but is also dropped by AB de Villiers, he is playing catch up after a slow start. Delhi Daredevils are 78/2 after 10 overs

20:43(IST)

Spinners certainly proving to be difficult to get away here, Shreyas Iyer also struggling a bit with his timing. Delhi Daredevils are 66/2 after 9 overs.

20:38(IST)

Excellent over for Delhi Daredevils that one, a couple of maximums by Rishabh Pant as they pick up 14 runs in that one. Pant striking at over 180 here, Delhi Daredevils are 62/2 after 8

DD’s most prolific partnership this season are at the crease: -

258 – Pant/Iyer

227 – Shaw/Iyer

182 – Maxwell/Pant

115 – Pant/Shankar

20:36(IST)

SIX! Huge one from Rishabh Pant, picks up the short ball and absolutely murders it. Sending it over the deep mid-wicket boundary as Delhi Daredevils cross 50, they are 55/2

20:33(IST)

Moeen Ali comes into the attack now for Royal Challengers Bangalore, certainly getting the ball to spin a bit here. Just 4 runs from Ali's first over and Delhi are 48/2 after 7 overs.

20:29(IST)

Southee concedes just 5 runs in that over, Delhi Daredevils are 44/2 here after 6 overs. They will be looking to settle in now before going big.

20:25(IST)

Rishabh Pant seems to be in some form here, gets one through the onside with a pull and then a lofted cover drive. He seems to be continuing from where he left. Delhi are 39/1 after 5 overs

IPL 2018 Live Score, DD vs RCB, Match 45: Kohli, de Villiers Steady Ship for Bangalore

Virat Kohli (BCCI)

PREVIEW: Already out of contention for the Indian Premier League (IPL) play-offs, bottom-placed Delhi Daredevils will attempt to end the season on a bright note when they face laggards Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the Ferozshah Kotla here on Saturday. The RCB are currently at the penultimate spot in the points table after managing to win just three of their 10 outings so far and need to win each of their remaining four games to stand any remote chances of qualifying for the play-offs. On the other hand, Delhi's hopes of qualifying were on Thursday dashed by table-toppers Sunrisers Hyderabad, who chased down a challenging 188 losing the solitary wicket of opener Alex Hales at the Ferozshah Kotla. Young wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant, whose maiden IPL century went in vain against the Hyderabad side, has been the lone shining light for the Daredevils this season. On Saturday, Delhi will once again hope to entertain the fans with fireworks from the southpaw's blade, even as skipper Shreyas Iyer, Prithvi Shaw and Jason Roy missed the party last night.
The live telecast of the IPL 2018 match between Delhi Daredevils and Royal Challengers Bangalore will start at 8PM on May 12th (Saturday). The match can be seen live on the Star Sports network and live streaming will be available on hotstar.com. You can also follow the match live blog for ball-by-ball updates, full score and IPL match highlight on cricketnext.com.
Pacer Harshal Patel, who was promoted up the order showed great maturity in resurrecting Delhi's innings with Pant but it will be interesting to see if head coach Ricky Ponting still wants to pursue with misfiring Glenn Maxwell, whose dismal run in the tournament have been a headache for the side. With nothing to lose, Delhi is expected to test their bench. In such a scenario, the likes of Manjot Kalra, Gurkeerat Mann Singh, Sayan Ghosh and Junior Dala may get a look-in. Delhi's bowling on a flat Kotla wicket was massacred by the Sunrisers duo of Shikhar Dhawan and Kane Williamson and will be hoping for a better effort from the likes of Trent Boult and Co. Meanwhile, it will be a homecoming for RCB skipper Virat Kohli, who has been in good nick this season and would want to maintain his side's superior record over Delhi in head-to-head encounters. RCB have so far won 12 games against Delhi's seven in IPL history. Besides Kohli, the onus of piling up a mammoth score will be on South African stars AB de Villiers and Quinton de Kock, New Zealander Colin de Grandhomme while stumper Parthiv Patel and Mandeep Singh can also add to the fireworks. The bowling department will be headed by pacemen Umesh Yadav and Tim Southee while leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal and offie Washington Sundar can be handy options in the middle overs.
