Kagiso Rabada picks up another wicket and this time it is Washington Sundar, who has to take the long walk back to the pavilion.

RCB: 76/4 (12 overs)
The boundaries have dried up but the batsmen are dealing in doubles, and Kohli is an expert at running between the wickets. However, RCB will need boundaries as the required run-rate is mounting. RCB: 70/3 | need 127 runs in 54 balls
Virat Kohli became the first India cricketer to hit 9000 runs in T20s. But his team need a bit more from the skipper tonight.
RCB edge past the 50-run mark as Virat Kohli remains firm in the middle. The skipper is playing well and striking the ball from the middle of his bat. RCB: 54/3 (8 overs)
RCB in great trouble as Anrich Nortje gets the big wicket of AB de Villiers. Yes you read that right, a length ball and De Villiers hits it high up in the air, plenty of time for Shikhar Dhawan to settle under it and complete the catch cleanly. In the end he makes no mistake as RCB lose their third wicket. RCB: 43/3 (6 overs)
A hint of spin from Axar Patel and it's enough to bring an end to Finch's inning. The ball moves away, takes a faint edge and Rishabh Pant completes the rest. RCB has lost both their openers in the powerplay overs but with his dismissal AB de Villiers joins captain Kohli out in the middle. RCB: 27/2 (4 overs)
Ashwin could have mankad Finch but he doesn't remove the bails and keeps staring at the batsman. I guess the bowler is following his coach's word, who has been very adamant against mankad. However, that moment is gone and Ashwin has delivered with the ball.
The leggie offers some flight and Padikkal goes for the aerial route. However, his shot goes straight into the hands of Marcus Stoinis as RCB lose their first wicket. RCB: 20/1 (3 overs)
A 150-kmph case delivery from Anrich Nortje and Finch goes for the wild slash. The ball takes an outside edge and flies straight to Shikhar Dhawan at first slip and he too fails to get hold of the ball. This is the third time that Delhi has dropped Finch inside two overs. RCB: 15/0 (2 overs)
Aaron Finch survives again and this time it is the skipper Shreyas Iyer who misses the catch. A fullish delivery with good pace and some movement and it takes the outside edge of Finch and goes towards the first slip. However, Iyer fails to grab it as Finch survives twice in the span of six balls. RCB: 5/0 (1 over)
Kagiso Rabada drops a sitter. Comes in drops a good length ball onto Smith's pad and the Aussie plays it straight towards the bowler. However, Rabada fails to grab it as Finch survives. How much will it cost Delhi?
Aaron Finch and Devdutt Padikkal are out in the middle to start the RCB chase. Kagiso Rabada will start the attack for Delhi Capitals.
Twelve runs come off the final over by Isuru Udana as Delhi Capitals post a challenging 196/4 after 20 overs. It all started with Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan setting themselves loose. However, after a brief dry run, Rishabh Pant and Marcus Stoinis made sure that the team makes use of the solid start. Stoinis remains unbeaten on 53 from 26 deliveries.
Stoinis is not stopping yet, he shuffles inside the crease and directs the ball over the fielders on the leg side four another boundary. With this he also brings up his 50. DC: 184/4 (19 overs)
Another beamer but this time it is Mohammed Siraj. However, this time Pant manages to get some bat in it as it flies over the fine leg boundary for a SIX. However, Pant wastes the Free Hit as he goes for an unorthodox attempt and fails miserably.
Now Siraj comes up with a slower delivery and Pant misreads it, takes an inside edge on its way and goes on to hit the stumps. DC: 179/4 (18.2 overs)
