DLF IPL Season 5 - Match 5
Royal Challengers Bangalore Vs Delhi Daredevils
Traditionally strong RCB took on the resurgent Delhi Daredevils. Delhi won the toss and elected to field. McDonald and Pujara opened the innings for RCB and provided a reasonable start. Pujara was dismissed when the score was 37. Kohli disappointed scoring just 8 runs. But A.B.De Villiers batted brilliantly with some improvised shots and enabled RCB garner 157/8 in the allotted 20 overs though there was not much support from the other batsmen. Doug Bracewell took 3/32 and Mornie Morkel took 2/30.
Chasing a modest target of 158, Delhi lost their captain Sehwag for a duck. Finch and Naman Ojha took the score to 55 when Ojha got out. Apart from a brief counter attack from Irfan Pathan, there was no other significant contribution from the Delhi Daredevils batsmen. Delhi fell short by 20 runs. Muttiah Muralitharan bowled magnificently and captured 3/25.
