After winning the toss and electing to bowl first, Delhi were superb with the new ball. They dismissed the Bangalore openers rather cheaply. It is to be noted that Faf du Plessis and Anuj Rawat were dismissed within the first 15 balls of the game.
Virat Kohli was run out for the second time in this edition as a superb throw from Lalit Yadav meant that he had to prematurely depart. After which, Glenn Maxwell was at his explosive best and showed why people call him the "Big Show". He scored 55 runs off 34 balls.
While his strike rate was 161.76, he hit seven fours and two sixes. Although he hit Kuldeep Yadav for 23 runs in the ninth over, the leggie managed to have the last laugh as he dismissed him in the 12th over. When things looked bleak for Bangalore, Dinesh Karthik played the rescue act once again. The keeper-batter continued to hit runs for fun.
Karthik scored a spectacular 66 from just 34 balls, and remained unbeaten. It is to be noted that the Tamil Nadu cricketer has been dismissed just once in the 2022 edition so far. He was well supported by Shahbaz Ahmed, who scored an unbeaten 32 from 21 balls.
Their 97-run partnership enabled the Bangalore-based franchise to 189-5 in their 20 overs. During the second innings, Delhi's openers came out all guns blazing before Prithvi Shaw had to return to the pavilion in the fifth over. After which, David Warner got to a superb half-century.
However, Mitchell Marsh struggled throughout his innings and was only able to score 14 from 21 balls. Post his dismissals, Delhi faced a batting collapse and lost their middle-order rather cheaply. Josh Hazlewood picked three wickets in his four overs as well. Thus, Delhi fell short of their target by 16 runs.

People ar being sarcastic or are they really dumb to think Hasaranga shouldn't have run-out Marsh.

DK is no ABD, but he's surely saved RCB every time this season like how we have seen AB do.
β Gurkirat Singh Gill (@gurkiratsgill) April 16, 2022
Been absolutely sublime this season. Don't remember him batting as beautifully as he had this season ever.
Seriously man how do RCB always get this one guy who performs in every match ??
β Kaygee18 (@Kaygee1803) April 16, 2022
First ABD now DK
Unreal ! I don't think even MI - CSK had such a player who performed in literally every match
While all the spotlight is on DK, Shahbaz Ahmed has been outstanding for RCB this season.

How long will DC persist with him?
Marsh's dismissal is advantage for DC π #DCvRCB

A one-handed specky if you don't mind! That should be the game there with two overs of Harshal and an over of Hazlewood to come. Brilliant from Kohli! #IPL2022 #DCvRCB

Siraj bowls with one hand. Pant hits it one handed! And Kohli catches it one handed π. #DCvRCB

After Bangaluru pulled off Dilli's Pant, there is no chance for Dilli now!

In 3 seasons, RCB have perfected the entry points of 3 players whose ideal entry points were known definitively only by vague computer geeks in remote corners of the world - de Villiers, Maxwell and Karthik.

Yes, they've erased the player mismanagement sins of all those years.
Another batsman down for RCB. What a fine piece of fielding from Rishabh Pant to get the wicket of Mitchell Marsh.
